Lint rollers work really well thanks to the sticky sheets that pick up pet hair along with any other debris that is on the surface of a fabric. In addition to these performance tests, we took careful notes on each product's ease of use and consulted with pet owners on our team to find out which surfaces they have the hardest time totally ridding of pet hair and what they use at home to combat it. We tested each tool for its pickup of fur on clothing, carpets and pillows with covers made from several different types of fabrics.

For our first ever pet hair removal tools category test, we rounded up 26 of the best-selling and most widely available pet hair removal tools and put them through our rigorous Lab tests. In the Good Housekeeping Institute Cleaning Lab, we test hundreds of products each year, many of which pet owners often keep in their pet hair tackling toolbox, including everything from pet hair busting vacuum cleaners, handheld vacuums that can be used for picking up fur in small spaces and even feature-packed tumble dryers that help pull out pet hair embedded in fabrics. With the rise in pet ownership and an awareness for the state of the environment we live in, there are now dozens of pet hair removal tools that work exceptionally well and can be reused hundreds of times. Lint rollers are a convenient and cheap solution to getting pet hair off your clothes, but not so fun to use on carpets and other large surfaces, plus they're not the most environmentally conscious solution. There's probably pet hair on your sheets too.Īs long as you have pets at home, it isn't possible to have a totally pet hair free space (unless you have some hairless cats as pets), but thankfully there are pet hair removing products that can help manage the seemingly endless flow of fur. And if you're walking on these pet hair-filled carpets in your socks and getting into bed with them? Yup, you guessed it. Even your carpets, which may look pretty clean, are likely covered in a thick layer of pet hair upon further inspection. The not-so-great part is all of the pet hair they leave behind on your clothes, couch and other upholstered furniture. There's nothing better than cuddles from your furry friends after a long day of work.
