I use a small rubber brush and follow up with our Miele vacuum with the turbo brush head attachment. A rubber glove also works to gather up the hair before vacuuming.

I strongly recommend one of these; don’t be tempted to buy a cheaper version.
From the long River company,
it was recommended to me and I’ve used them ever since for furniture and mats.

I used to wonder why ‘For Sale’ sites said ‘from a pet free home’.

I suppose that’s why.

Shell: Don't bother! Dogs are hairy shedding creatures - I have three. Just give guests a clothes brush on the way out!

I use the rubber brush that is designed for brushing the cats, or a plastic scouring pad that I dampen well.

Unfortunately, this entails working on ones hands and knees if the animal hairs are on the carpet, but it does work.

It was cats in our case. When it was just family, I kept a throw on the sofa to collect the loose fur, all of which seemed to be white. I removed the throw when we had visitors.

rubber glove you know a Marigold put them on hairs cling to it other than that sellotape ideal for clothes as you tend to use a lot on furniture
damp sponge one of those with a scourer on reverse ideal

Like Auntie E I use our collie's own brushes. There is a black one that is like a felting brush with curved bristles and a double sided one that has bristles on one side and longer straight bristles on the other to clean the other brush. We have a collie which has a very fine undercoat which sheds all year round leaving tumbleweeds of fluff everywhere. Any good pet shop should sell these brushes. The fluff is so soft I was tempted to offer it to nesting birds but apparently the anti parasite meds the vet provides is harmful for chicks.

Sellotape wrapped round hand sticky side out takes pet hair of clothes
If they pet the dogs that’s up to them
Even our solicitor leaves covered in hair
What do you think expect when you pat a dog
