As a pet owner, I feel like I am constantly keeping on top of hair in my house despite having a Shark vacuum with pet features. It’s one of the best vacuums for pet hair, but I wouldn’t be without this simple tool when it comes to the carpet.
I first came across this hair scraping tool a few years ago on Facebook, but wasn’t sold until I read the comments – all the pet owners were raving about it. It was less than $10, so I didn’t think it would be life changing, but I had high hopes.
I have a cat and a house rabbit who both have very soft hair, which is a nightmare for getting out of the carpet – although I didn’t realise how bad things really were until my tool arrived and I got scraping. I’m now convinced they leave behind as much behind as a German Shepherd.
Of course, my tiny tool wouldn’t be practical to use on a fully carpeted room, but I find it invaluable for the stairs, the small landing area, and the rug in my living room. There are, however, larger tools included in the Amazon Prime Day sale, which are ideal for larger areas, as well as other handheld designs that are perfect for small areas, couches and pet beds.
While there are a few different designs, one thing they’ve got in common is that they’re all simple. The power-free design means it’s never going to let you down, and it can be reused time and time again, offering the perfect solution.
The ‘scrapping’ makes it sound like a harsh tool, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it didn’t damage the carpet fibres and was not sharp to touch.
I thought my carpets were pretty clean – I hoovered regularly after all – but I was shocked and, therefore, I really do recommend giving one of these tools a go.
