Instructions

    • 1

      Wipe the area covered with fine hair with dryer sheets. Dryer sheets cut down on static and will loosen and soften the hair, making it easier to pick up.

    • 2

      Vacuum the seats with a small, hand-held vacuum cleaner. Though very fine hair is often challenging to remove even with repeated vacuuming, by vacuuming the seat you will remove the loose hairs and clean out the seat crevices.

    • 3

      Dampen a terry cloth towel and wipe the car seat with the damp towel. The hair should collect in a small pile and make it easier for you to remove.

    • 4

      Use a pet roller or wide strip of duct tape to remove any remaining hair.
