| Hi, I had a job today in a condo. The carpet was full of dog hair. It took me 2 hours to clean a small room. What is the best way to clean this stuff? Will vacuuming remove all the hair? |

I find that a good pre-vacuum will only get so much of the hair because pet hair tends to get woven into the pile and can be a real pain in the butt to remove.  Have you ever tried using a Grandi-Groom Carpet Groomer? After steam cleaning the moisture loosens the pet hair and then can be effectively removed (raked) out of the carpet. It can be used wet or dry but I find that it works best wet. I have sold a few of these to customers after they see the sheer amount of pet hair that the Grandi-Groom removes. They always ask "Where can I get one of those?" Buy some and then upsell them to your customers...  make some extra beer money.  |

Thanks for your answer. I've been using a small brush with plastic bristles and it takes me a lot of time to take hairs out; and some still remain in the carpet. Any idea where I can buy that groomer? I live in Toronto if it helps |

If the carpet really is that bad with dog hair and takes you a considerable amount of time to remove it (you'll never get all of it) make sure you charge accordingly as this should be an add-on to the steam cleaning service...just like gum removal or specialty stain removal.  I buy my Grandi-Groomers at http://www.kleenkuip.com - Kleen Kuip Supply Mart located in http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=11+Banigan+Drive,+Toronto,+ON&hl=en&sll=43.704575,-79.352588&sspn=0.007663,0.016512&oq=11+Banigan+&hnear=11+Banigan+Dr,+Toronto,+Toronto+Division,+Ontario+M4H+1G9&t=m&z=17 - Toronto . |

| A rubber pet hair lifter sponge works great on upholstery cleaning also |

| Rake is a good call on the carpet |
