How do you get rid of dog hair on car seats?

Shedding season has finally ended (I hope), and I think it’s time to try and remove some dog hair out of my car. How can I easily get rid of the hair?

Shedding really is the one negative about dogs. Fortunately, there are some easy products or tricks you can use to get rid of dog hair.
A lint roller or dog hair remover are great tools that can adhere to dog hair and pick up the pieces that are on the surface. If you don’t have those, a balloon or duct tape can work in a pinch.
For embedded dog hair, spray a mixture of fabric softener and water onto paper towels to loosen the hair from the fabric. Then, run wet rubber gloves, a squeegee, or paper towels to pick up the loosened hair. Run a handheld vacuum over the area once the fabric softener has dried.
To ward off future hair buildup, consider getting seat covers that can be easily washed in a machine or brush your dog before they get in the car to prevent shedding in the first place.
