Cats and Dogs on your sofa

If you allow the family pets on to your fabric covered sofa,you are making work for yourself.
Your sofa will be very quickly ruined with pet hair and pet odour unless you Vacum the sofa Every day !!
This is the Only way to keep the sofa clean hygenic and safe for  the rest of the family.
It may be that you have allowed the dog or cat on the sofa and now you find it is covered in pet hair,because you neglected to vacum it regularly.

You may have discovered that it is now near impossible to get the dog hair off!!!

Well you can with a bit of work,....
1.Get the vacum cleaner out and attach the small upholstery brush attachment and vacum in small circles, scrubbing with the brush attachment as you vacum.Work over the whole area affected by the dog hair to remove as much of the hair as you can.
2.Get a microfibre cloth(cheaply available in Tesco Aldi Lidl etc.)dampen the cloth in cold water
and rub it across the hairs,this will loosen and gather a lot of the hairs into small bunches
3.There may still be stubborn hairs caught in the fabric,get a rubber kitchen glove(Marigold brand are good)
put it on your hand and use a dragging action across the hairs on the sofa,the hairs will stick to the glove.
4.Vacum again.
This procedure will get 90% of the dog hair from the fabric,follow this up with daily vacuming
and you will get on top of the situation over a few days.
5. Keep the pets off the sofas or get in the habit of vacuming the sofas everyday.
This procedure also works very well on Carpets rugs and mats.
Next time Ill tell you how to remove odours from your carpets rugs and sofas between  professional cleans.
