the sticky side of duct tape. Just dab it and the hair will stick to it.

Vacuuming didn't help us, one of our cats has ultra fine undercoat. The slipcovers wil get the fur, but they need to be washed separately from other things in the laundry. The damp sponge worked the best for us. Second best with microfiber was using a slicker brush (the ones with the bent very thin metal tines) on the furniture. It got a good 90% off our couch when used. The sponge got nearly 100%. Works in the car too.

There are fabric brush rollers you can buy but an easy way is duct tape. Just rip off enough to make a ring w/sticky side out and slip it over your hand. Once one area of the tape is full just turn the ring to a fresh spot.

Vaccum your sofa and spray it with static guard or rub some dryer sheets all over it.. The sofa will or should de-static and it won't be quite as bad.. Also, if you brush/groom your animals more often the hair won't be as bad ! I vacuum my sofa about once a week and I have a long haired dog. Or if you have a shopvac use that on your sofa it's bigger and more powerful than the reg. vac w. attachements.... good luck

I know your problem Our 3 dogs just finished moulting.The best way we have found is to use a damp sponge, and push hair to edge and vacuum off.Not a wet sponge, just damp.You can also buy a pet hair roller brush from pet shop.It is fairly easy to do, but does take effort.

what about a stiff wire brush (like for pet grooming) brush it against the grain and then vacuum it up.
Follow it up rub a couple fabric softener sheets over it to give it a anti static so that pet hair won't stay.

wrap sticky tape around your open hand. (Selotape or similar) sticky side to the outside. then just dab it on top of the part where the hair is. As they say. ' it sticks like glue.'
Remove the contaminated sticky tape from your hand and dispose of it.

smittybo20 stole my answer,LOL! Duct tape really does work wonders! You can buy lint rollers,too,with sticky adhesive on them.
