How to get pet hair off a couch

Hair holds on textured upholstery. Dry removal is enough for most weekly upkeep.

Steps

1. Take off throws and washable covers.
2. Vacuum crevices and the deck under cushions.
3. Wipe cushions, arms, and the back in small sections with a lint tool. The Pro size is 6.6 x 5 x 0.37 inches. Tight piping and corners fit the Mini at 4.2 x 0.1 x 3.25 inches.
4. Skip leather-care chemicals on cloth, and skip the lint tool on knits.

If you also brush the pet, start with the 9-blade side of the deshedder to detangle, then the 17-blade side to lift loose coat, so less hair lands on the sofa later.
