The only grievance with this budget-friendly option was the length of the handle. "When using it on my hands and knees it felt too long, but when standing it felt too short," the tester shared. It depends on personal preference, but the ability to extend or shorten this handle should minimize the discomfort for anyone who's interested in the Evriholder tool. But we don't stop there: We also regularly re-review the categories in which we've awarded the PEOPLE Tested seal of approval — because the best product of today might not be the best of tomorrow. And by the way, companies can never buy our recommendation: Their products must earn it, fair and square.

Carpet and Remove Pet How to Use a Squeegee to Clean Your Carpet and Remove Pet

While the handle could be sturdier—it breaks down into sections for easier storage/shipment, which creates flex points—the tool is easy to store anywhere you already keep a broom or vacuum, or in smaller storage areas if you take it apart. The long-handled Lebrush carpet rake has a dual-sided brush. One side is flatter, like a lint brush, and the other has silicone-coated metal bristles. Our testers found the lint brush side works very well with short fiber rugs—so well, in fact, they had to clean it after every couple swipes with the handy mini brush that’s included. We created the PEOPLE Tested seal of approval to help you find the very best products for your life. We use our unique methodology to test products in three labs across the country and with our network of home testers to determine their effectiveness, durability, ease of use, and so much more. Based on the results, we rate and recommend products so you can find the right one for your needs. This small but mighty tool from Analan beat out the other competing products for many reasons, but its dependability was what really sold our tester on it. "It was clear from the first few wipes that it was working exactly as it advertised," they shared, later stating how easy it was to remove embedded hair. "It was satisfying to see how well it performed."

Carpet Scraper Tool -2 PCS-Double Sided Portable Lint Remover Carpet Scraper Tool -2 PCS-Double Sided Portable

Yes, two of the pet hair removers on our list – the Uproot Cleaner Pro and the Evriholder FURemover Broom — are convenient tools for removing pet hair from floors. For embedded pet hair, the Uproot Cleaner Pro works as a carpet scraper to get pet hair out of carpets. The FURemover is a rubber broom with rake-like qualities that can sweep up and trap pet hair from tile and hardwood floors and rake it out of carpets and rugs. The bristles were effective on longer-fiber rugs, but primarily where pet hair was longer than the carpet’s pile. And as with most of the long-handled rakes, you’ll want to have another tool like a vacuum on hand to clean up the fur and crumbs you unearth. This long-handled sweeper features an army of flexible rubber bristles and a squeegee-style edge to help you turn up the pet hair your vacuum can’t reach—in impressive quantities. Our tester was relieved to find it cleans easily in water. It’s not the best tool for gathering the loose hair it dredges up into piles, though, so you’ll want to partner it with a good vacuum or vacuum hose for a truly hair-free carpet. Elizabeth’s take: “My double-coated pup Roo is going through a spring blowout just in time for our travel plans, where we’re staying in different vacation rentals and homes. The Uproot Clean pet rake has been easy to transport and has done a satisfying (and horrifying) job of raking up Roo’s hair on the various couches, carpets, and rugs we’ve encountered. It’s also been handy in getting up her fur from my car, though it does a better job on the carpet than the seats. Still, I’ll never road trip with Roo without it!”Probably the most important consideration of all is your pet. Oftentimes cats and dogs require different care tools, which is why it's crucial to know what kind of fur your companion has and its shedding tendencies. If your furry friend tends to shed often, then you may need a bigger tool for larger (and more frequent) clean ups than a pet with little shedding, that only needs a touch up here and there. Incidentally, an air purifier can also filter out some of your pet's hair so less of it ends up on surfaces. It’s me, hi. I’m the problem. It’s me.”– Roo as she leaves confetti behind in every home she visits. Having pets in your space can be the best thing ever, but having their hair everywhere is… not. And nobody loves their furry friends more than Taylor Swift and her three famous cats, but we're sure even celebrities have a tough time removing their hair from every surface in their homes. That's why, along with your other cat or dog supplies, it's helpful to have pet hair remover tools on hand for anytime you need to spruce up your space. Our testers found it excellent as promised for clothes and furniture and “effective but inconsistent” on rugs and carpets. Pet parents with flat carpets are likely to have the most success, but the small device still takes a lot more passes to clean a carpet than the larger bristle-style rakes. We recommend it for clothes, furniture, and carpet touch-ups or hard-to-reach places. In addition to this, these wool balls will cut down on your clothing's drying time as it absorbs water and is an eco-friendly alternative to single-use dryer sheets. If you're looking for a hands-off pet hair removal process for your clothes or bed sheets, then this product from Smart Sheep is calling your name.
