Removing pet hairs

[Triple-S]

I've just acquired a 240DL estate which was used as a ferry for the family labrador (beige colour), so the back area has lots of hairs embedded in the grey carpeting. After vain attempts with a scrubbing brush I tried my previous trick of dragging a hacksaw blade across the surface, as I did when we had a white cat and a dark blue hall carpet (!) but that didn't want to do dog hairs.
Has anybody any other suggestions such that it is presentable again.

There are propriety hand held ‘tools’ for the job, but the use of scrabbled up sello tape with sticky side down usually does the job.
Hacksaw blades??

If you have the patience of a saint then you could use the old sellotape method but you could be there a while. Another option could be to simply take it to a car valeters. For £20 or so they could do all the work and I'm sure they will know enough tricks to do it well.

We use a rubber toothed brush on the house carpet if the vacuum cleaner cannot cope. It seems to work on the house carpet. Don’t know when or where we obtained it though.

You could try a wire or suede brush whilst using the hoover nozzle
If not sellotape or a clothes roller

Have you tried a putsi, other makes of wet and dry cleaners are available. I have a George wet and dry which the neighbour I lent it to said not only removed the dog hairs but also the smell when used with autoglym shampoo in the wash tank.

A car I baught was owned by horse and dog lovers with mucky kids, the George did a wonderful job of cleaning all the various marks and hairs from it. I did think of getting it proffesionally valeted but at £50 with 2 cars decided £110 for the George and diy was better value for money.

Blowtorch, you'll have to get a couple of mates to hold the dog down though.

I took the Hippo to a local place as its was covered in dog hairs, £30 lighter and its still covered in dog hairs and still smells of dogs

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.

Good idea, this is the route I would take.
