Simple Solution

If vacuuming alone doesn’t remove pet hair from carpeting and upholstery, try these two tricks: Use a long-handled rubber squeegee to aggressively “rake” the hair out of carpeting. For upholstered furniture, put on a pair of latex rubber gloves and firmly rub the surfaces to pull out the pet hair. After using the squeegee and rubber gloves, finish up by vacuuming.
