There are many methods of carpet cleaning, as well as ways to remove hair from your carpet. Here are several different ways for cleaning carpet plus hair removal:

• Use baking soda - Baking soda provides two benefits at once - it's a great room deodorizer, and it's also a great way to remove pet hair from carpets. First step - Sprinkle some baking soda all over the affected rug. Second step - Sit back, relax, and let the baking soda sit for a few moments before vacuuming it up. Third step - Check what your vacuum cleaner contains. There should be lots of dog and cat hair in addition to baking soda inside your vacuum trap.

• Use fabric softener - First step - Make a mixture of water with liquid fabric softener in an empty spray bottle. The ratio should be a 3:1 dilution. Second step - Spray the mixture on the affected area of your rug. Third step - Relax and wait while the mixture dries. Fourth step - The fabric softener will loosen the embedded hair that's in the carpet as it dries, and all that's left to do is to vacuum.

• Use a sponge mop - First step - Vacuum the areas affected. Second step - Lightly infuse the sponge mop with water. Third step - Go over the heaviest areas of hair in your carpet with the sponge mop. Fourth step - You'll be amazed as the sponge mop acts as an agitator and draws out all those embedded pet hairs to the surface of the rug. Fifth step - Use your hands or a vacuum to mop up the rug, removing all the hair clumps that will be on the surface of your carpet.
