Removing long hair from carpet

You could ask around friends/family/colleagues to try out their vacuum cleaners, see if there is one that performs better with your hair than current model.


I did the slipper trick with my previous vacuum, changed to another one (Samsung Jet 60, recommended to me by a friend with very floofy cats) and it picked up so much of my hair initially that I had to unblock 😮
I now don't need the slipper trick and remove hair from the outside roller regularly. 

I took savvy_sue's advice and used the shortest nozzle and it seems to work quite well but it does mean it takes a long time!  Some of my hair is stuck fast into the carpet, so I would need to peel it off first before using the nozzle method.

I think it is because I step on to them and so this makes them embed into the carpet.  I will look at getting that brush, squeegee, which may help to peel them off the carpet first before using the vaccuum nozzle on them.

I'd say my advice was more akin to the squeegee - I certainly didn't nozzle much!
