As I was up at 4.45am this morning and unable to sleep I decided to squeegee my living room carpet (teenagers in bed and no particular desire to wake them) and this is the result :eek:

I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and Hoover religiously every day so was astounded to get this much hair out of the carpet.......

I think this may become an everyday job looking at what I got out.:o

Did you use the squeegee dry or did you damp the edge of it?

You could knit a new pet!

I want a squeegee now! Scared though .... black dog and cream carpet!

I bought a squeegee today... I was shocked at how much hair came off my dining room carpet. I only have one little dog and vacuum at least twice a week! *shudders! Great tip!

I actually saw this on facebook and bookmarked it to refer to. Great minds think alike.

Ditto, but so simple why did we not think of it??

This also works with 'rubber gloves' - just put them on and then pull your hands FIRMLY across the surface of your carpet. You CAN dampen them first, if you want to.

I found it worked best if I used the side of my hand - little finger to wrist .
