Hair on the couch is a common sight for cat and dog owners. Over time, it accumulates, gets clogged in cracks, sticks to upholstery and pillows, flies in the air, and settles on all surfaces.

Of course, it's impossible to get rid of hair if you have pets in your home. The universal advice is to clean the fibers regularly and with high quality. Tap into Roxbury has told you how to remove pet hair on the sofa.

Method 3
