How To Get Hair Off The Carpet – Use A Flip-flop!

Author: Karon Grieve Published : August 2012

After yesterday’s mega post on the joys of hospital waiting rooms/tests and losing paperwork, I thought today we’d get back to home hints with something nice and simple.

Flip Flop Floor Magic!

Okay so not real magic like Harry Potter, but magical enough to get the dreaded cat hair (and dogs too!) off the carpet.

I hate it when the carpet gets that almost grey shade where the cat hair has sort of meshed on the wool fibres. The vacuum cleaner even struggles with this job and I used to resort to dragging my feet along the floor while wearing trainers when we used to own a borzoi dog and the carpet was practically welded together with his 4″ long hairs. It was hair hell let me tell you.

Anyway the best way to deal with the pet hair on the carpet scenario is with a flip flop. Just one, you can still hop wearing the other if you really feel like it.

How To Get Hair Off The Carpet With A Flip-Flop:

Anyway, just hold the heel of the flip flop and turn it so that it is almost (but not quite) on it’s edge and drag it from right to left (or left to right, doesn’t matter, go with the flow ladies). You will find that it grabs the pet hair and pulls it along.

Go around the hair patches bringing them together like haystacks.

Get the vacuum cleaner out and let that machine gram them all up.

What can I say, I still love her……..

    a good alternative would be to vaccum (sp???) daily but I am too lazy to do that!!! Your method sounds better! (2 dogs and 3 cats…)
