My second of the day - ideas for picking up hair from the floor tiles - (before I shave my head and permanently defuzz every member of the family!)

I've spent the morning hoovering the tiles, mopping, then getting down on my hands and knees with a cloth - just to remove hair from the bathroom floor .

I've 'googled' - two ideas came up - a 'sticky' roller and a rubber brush ( both US websites) Any ideas anyone or anything you have tried?

I have heard of wearing rubber gloves dipping them in water and wiping down hairy sofas but I don’t know if that works on tiles!

I bought a JML rubber brush and I have a Lakeland "Brush Buddy" .

The Lakeland one is brilliant on the stairs ( the cats like to sit there)

I've only used the long brush on the carpet so far.

I bought a couple of those plughole covers , the amount of hair it collects Shock , at least it isn't clogging up the pipes now .

I might try the rubber glove tip - or perhaps a rubber brush.

I also looked at a fabric mop - looked a bit like fabric whotsits! - might try that.

Rubber broom is amazing. Same as the ones they use in a hairdressers. On tiles/wood, it's horrifying how much it collects (which I just then hoover up) and I've had some success with it on rugs/carpets although it needs a bit more effort.

For human long hair (me and the eldest), easiest thing is rubber gloves to stroke the carpet (where we brush/dry hair) an then collect before using hoover to generally hoover the carpets. I learnt the hard way when I had to take apart the roller from my dyson and slowly cut away at one massive matted dreadlock that had actually stopped the hoover picking up anything!
