This is what we use
We use a rubber toothed brush, as recommended by another poster. Takes a bit of patience, but cheaper than a valeter doing the same job, and it does work. We've just cleaned up the boot of our old Subaru Legacy estate prior to selling it on - thorough brushing plus some carpet shampoo to finish and it came up like new.
Try this, or similar: https://www.amazon.co.uk/CARTECO-Rem...sr=1-1-catcorr Hope that helps. |

My last two cars needed attention... but the type of dog hair matters. Some have short wirey hair, others don't. I generally vacuum first (Henry) then use one of those cheap sticky clothes rollers and repeat until clean. Wet vacuuming is better once the hair is gone but I've found a strong spray anti-bacterial / deodouriser also works well... spray liberally and let it dry

B and Q sell pond liners i.e. large sheets of heavy PVC. I have used these, along with cages to carry my dogs in my previous V70 and current V90. This prevents the dogs coming into direct contact with the car fabrics, thus reducing the doggy smells, especially if they are wet! Occasional hairs do find their way into the car but they are not a great problem and can easily be hoovered up

I do valeting for a living, and can safely say it very much depends on where you go to have your car done as to whether the dog hair is removed. If you go to one of those hand car washes in a Tesco car park for example expect to come away with several exterior scratches and half the interior missed out. I would use a rubber bristle carpet brush, as larchdale suggested, combined with a vacuum cleaner. It takes time, but it's pretty much the best method without causing more harm than good.
Using a wire brush is also a solution, but it wears your carpets out a lot. Especially if it's got those horrid cheapo carpets like a VW, Ford or Peugeot.

wrap some cellotape round your hand several times and slightly overlap each turn. Then just press on the surface and hairs will stick to the tape.

For long hairs at least, a micro-fibre cloth works pretty well in removing the majority of the hair. I discovered this by accident when I was cleaning the inside of the back window.

I have just bought a Dyson DC75 - it has suction power to rival n experienced Russian hooker (or so I have heard)
