Have YOU ever wet wiped your stair carpet?

EW. That was... er hairy

My DH is in the cleaning business, and if working on dog carpet he damps his hand and gets rid of hair that way, he has tried many other things and for this he claims works the best.

yatalkin is it his bare hand or a gloved hand?

I am pretty sure bare hand SurlyCue.

I use the rubber soles of my shoes to get hairs off the carpet. I drag my foot across the surface and get a gratifying line of greystuff/hairs . Very good occupation if you are on a long telephone call.

Another telephone call occupation is cleaning the venetian blinds with a sponge eraser cut into small rectangles.

No, but I use one on the (washable) kitchen carpet all the time, and can't remember how I managed without them.

Never.

Until now...

I'll report back when I've tried it. It sounds ridiculous but a lot of ridiculous things, I've tried after reading about them on MN, have turned out to be genius.

I've just this minute tried it! Pretty effective, but didn't really remove the line of dog hair along the back crease of each step, but then I suddenly remembered - my dm used to use a rubber - gloved finger for that. So I did that as well - hey presto! Clean stair carpet!

So different eh?

Very good occupation if you are on a long telephone call.

I flash wiped the radiators and kitchen cupboard doors whilst on the phone yesterday.

Wasn't it mn of yore that shared the tip that rubbing with a croc is excellent at getting deeply dwelling pet hair out of your stairs?

I have an old pair of crocs which I don regularly for the purpose of scraping grey shit from the carpet. Deeply satisfying.

I would never own crocs. Ew

I put my trainers on, rub feet over rugs etc - no crocs required!

It isn't just the stair carpet guys.

The difference to any carpet is IMMENSE if you wipe it with a damp cloth.

Honestly the amount of hair!

I didn't want carpet in our new house but we couldn't afford hard floors. Hate carpet.

I will NOT have it on the stairs though. They are going to be painted. And vinyl in the halls and landings (lots of landings here)

Who did it?

Read this during last nights sleepless night and will try it after breakfast!

I doubt I'll be sharing photos because with 2 cats that would just be too gross.

That was hard work! Only because I think the nap on my staircarpet runs upwards, so although the cat fur clumped up easily, it just wouldnt lift off!

I'm seriously considering a new carpet. Do they make cat proof carpet? I wonder.
