Dog Detailing

For all those dog owners out there what vacuums / tools do you use to pick up all the dog hair out of the carpets? Specifically got the Softex seats for my dog and they’ve been great and easy to clean but pulling embedded hair out of the carpets w/ a shop-vac is tough. My truck only gets a thorough interior cleaning every 4-6 months so I accumulate a good amount of dog hair (approximately a small Pomeranian worth) from my 110lb mastiff in that time. Thinking a vacuum w/ a rotating brush attachment might work best.

 

Sorry cant help ya Yorkies dont shed.

 

If you have a good air compressor, the tornador tool has been a life saver for detailing for me

 

Goldie is our designated “Dog Car”, the wife won’t let them in the 22.
Just took our 4 month old puppy, Riley to the vet for her final shots in Goldie this AM and Riley barfed her breakfast for the second time in Goldie, third overall, once in the SxS on the wife’s lap…..uh oh…
At least this time she was in a crate with a rubber mat.

“I hear ya”.

 

Yep. K9s and 4Runners go together. Look how happy!



Don’t worry about Riley. No doubt she’ll get her sea legs before long.

 

I have found a damp terry cloth towel can pick up quite a bit of hair. I don’t think there is a quick solution except to let the dog stay in a crate in the car all the time. Seat covers are a bonus too!

 

Get a pair of nitrile gloves with a textured grip built in. Just use the gloves to rub the surface of the carpet and it pulls the hair right out. A circular motion works best.

We have an Aussie that sheds constantly. Gloves make quick work of cleaning the hair out of the carpet. This also works great with cloth upholstery. My tundra has cloth seats and it's how I clean the dog hair from them.

Once the gloves get a bit dusty/dirty, they don't work as well. Clean them with water and start again. New gloves work best.

I usually have a glove on my left hand and the shop vac nozzle in my right.
