How to get rid of dog 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. 

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 Kleen Kuip Supply Mart located in Toronto.

Rake is a good call on the carpet
