If you have a pet and a carpet or rugs you should have a metal carpet rake for pet hair.

I just removed what seems to be an entire dog from our living room rug.

Basically these rakes use heavy-gauge metal spiral-wound wire to grab on to pet hair, it's kind of magical to see your rug change color lol.

Get one with a long handle so you don't need to bend over.

Note: can't use them on some types of of rugs, like wool or silk; so read the instructions/warnings!

@thomasfuchs I had no idea these existed! Sounds like pure magic.
@billgoats @thomasfuchs we got around this by having non-shedding dogs :)
@europlus @billgoats that's what they want you to think
