If you have a dog or cat in your house, there’s a good chance you have to deal with pet hair on your carpets, rugs, and upholstered furniture. One easy way to remove it is to apply duct tape to a paint roller with the sticky side facing up.

To use it to pick up hair, simply roll the roller over the surface. When the tape is full of hair, peel it off, and put on a new piece.
