The 8 Best Pet Hair Removers for Clothes, Furniture, Carpets, and More

In our Lab tests, OXO’s Furlifter Pet Garment Brush left surfaces looking completely clean after just one swipe. Even when we thought it couldn’t pick up any more faux hair, it continued to collect fur. The reusable brush features a self-cleaning base that holds multiple passes worth of hair before needing to be emptied, and while you need to follow the arrows on the handle to use it correctly, it’s simple to operate.

Its compact size makes it easy to stash in a bag for on-the-go touch-ups. Just keep in mind that it’s best for surface-level fur and won’t remove deeply embedded pet hair from fabrics.

If you’re looking for one tool to tackle pet hair on multiple surfaces, the FurDozer X6 is a versatile option. It features six uniquely shaped surfaces designed to collect fur from everything from carpets and upholstery to hard-to-reach spots like between couch cushions. In our tests, it pulled a surprising amount of fur from a carpet that had already been lint-rolled clean, though it gathers hair into piles rather than removing and containing it.

While many tools we tested snagged on clothing or struggled to glide over plush fabrics, this one moved smoothly across materials thanks to its flexible rubber design. The rubber extends into the handle, making it feel sturdy and comfortable to use. It does, however, require some extra effort to get surfaces completely clean.

After washing and drying a sweater covered in faux pet hair, just half of a Bounce Pet Hair and Lint Guard Dryer Sheet left it almost completely fur-free—a result the other three laundry products we tested couldn’t match.

These dryer sheets are designed to trap pet hair and lint while also softening fabrics, making them a convenient option for tackling shedding in laundry. Like other single-use solutions, each sheet is discarded after use, but we found that used sheets can be repurposed for quick dusting jobs around the house.

For larger surfaces covered in pet hair, the Scotch-Brite Pet Hair Roller is a more efficient option than a traditional lint roller. Its wider cleaning head and 50% stickier sheets pick up more fur with fewer passes.

Like other Scotch-Brite tools we’ve tested, this roller impressed us with its sturdy construction and performance. In the GH Institute Cleaning Lab, it quickly removed fur and lint from upholstery in just a few swipes. The horizontal design is comfortable to hold, covers more surface area at once, and makes it easier to clean cushions, chair backs, and carpeted stairs. Like other lint rollers, it does require regular refills.

Of the five Lilly Brush pet hair removal tools we tested, this long-handled option was our favorite for carpet cleanup. Just a few short strokes gathered all of the faux pet hair we applied to our test carpet into a neat pile, making it easy to pick up.

To prevent fur from being redeposited, we found it’s best to clear the rubber blades as they become covered with hair. The lightweight handle is comfortable to hold and long enough to reach under furniture and into other hard-to-reach areas. While the included handle isn’t adjustable, the tool head fits on standard broomsticks for added versatility.

Despite its compact size, the Analan Mini Pet Hair Remover impressed us across every surface we tested. Each side features differently sized rubber grooves that can be used individually or in sequence for a more thorough clean.

On upholstered furniture, a single side removed the visible pet hair covering the surface. On carpet, using the three sides in succession (large, medium, then small) helped lift both surface-level fur and embedded hair left behind by other tools.

Unlike metal-toothed removers that can snag or damage fabrics, Analan’s rubber grooves are gentle enough for clothing. Its compact size also makes it easy to hold and store, though the small surface area means it’s better suited for quick cleanups than large jobs.
