Using a thick tape - masking, scotch or strapping type anything thick - wrap this around your hand inside out so the sticky side is out and rub the tape over your upholstery. Watch how the hair just clings to the tape and then you can throw it away!

Do you have a clean rubber glove that you use for cleaning? The rubber on a cleaning glove will make the hair move to a pile on your couch when you rub your hand over the couch or chair, and you can just pick it up and throw it away!

Another quick method to getting hair off of the upholstery is to use the attachment on the sweeper that you would use for the drapes or curtains, and sweep off the couch in a slow motion picking up all the hair!

You can also make it easier to lift pet hair if you use liquid fabric softener. Simply mix with plain water and add to a spray bottle. Spray lightly on fabric that is covered in pet hair, allow to dry, then vacuum or brush off. Or add to your soap/cleaning solution when mopping the floor or wiping counters and voila! The hair just wipes right up.

If you are grooming you pet. Wear rubber gloves or keep your hands wet when stroking. The hair will stick to the gloves or your hands instead of falling all around your home.
