Trusted Dog Hair Removal Techniques for Car Detailing Calgary

Dog hair is a fact of life for most Calgary pet owners with cars. You think your companion is having the time of her life on your next road trip, but her road trip is so much more fun than yours. When you get back, you are greeted with a car interior chock full of dog hair. Calgary Car Detail has seen it all and developed several techniques for dog hair removal for car detailing.

 Here’s a quick look at some of the processes we use to get your car looking like new again, dog hair and all.

Rubber Gloves: A Simple Yet Effective Solution

One of our most effective hacks is rubber gloves. The static electricity generated by running a rubber-gloved hand over upholstery and carpets adheres to dog hair, making it easy to gather and extract. We use it on fabric seats and floor mats.

Specialized Pet Hair Removal Brushes

We have the best animal hair removal brushes for automotive use. They are designed to have bristles that penetrate deep into carpet fibers and upholstery, loosening and lifting dog and other animal hair.

Vacuum Power: The Backbone of Hair Removal

Professional-grade vacuums are a must-have as part of our dog hair weapon gear. We use powerful portable vacuums with an array of attachments to reach every crevice of your car’s interior and suck up not just surface hair but deeper embedded hair.

Fabric Softener Spray Technique

One of the few low-tech tricks we use is a spray bottle filled with water and a little fabric softener to help loosen dog hair on surfaces so it can be vacuumed or brushed away. The added bonus is that it makes your car smell nice.

Compressed Air for Hard-to-Reach Areas

We use compressed air to blast dog hair out of those nooks and crannies, crevices and air vents where it likes to hide. This method blows hair out of places that are hard to get to with a brush or vacuum attachment so you can easily vacuum up the hair afterwards.

Lint Rollers: Perfect for Quick Touch-ups

Although we don’t use them for large areas, lint rollers are great for quick touch-ups on headliners, dashboards, and other smooth surfaces where dog hair collects.

The Power of Steam Cleaning

For really stubborn cases, we use our steam cleaning machine during car detailing. The heat and moisture from the steam helps to loosen the embedded hair while also sanitizing, so your interior is not only hair-free but also totally cleaned.

Preventative Measures for Future Trips

Although we’re good at getting dog hair out, we can also give preventative advice. We can recommend and fit car brand-specific, high-quality seat covers and cargo liners that will make it much easier to clean up next time.
