Pet Hair Removal in Utah: 7 Car Cleaning Tips Every Pet Owner Needs

If you’ve got a dog or cat, you know how quickly pet hair can take over your car, especially during spring and fall shedding season in. We see it every day while detailing cars in Salt Lake City, Lehi, Draper, and beyond. In fact, we’ve helped over 600 local pet owners with professional pet hair removal in Utah, and that number keeps growing. If you’re tired of riding in a fur-filled vehicle, these tips from our Clean Pros can help you stay ahead of the mess

1. Use a Rubber Brush for Quick Daily Cleanups

One of the simplest tricks is to keep a rubber pet hair brush in your car. We have one in each Clean Vehile as well. The bristles are great for grabbing loose hair from cloth seats and floor mats. A quick brush-down after your dog hops out can go a long way in keeping things under control until your next car detailing service.

2. Vacuum With the Right Tools

A regular vacuum may not cut it, but with the right attachment you can make it work. Look for a vacuum with a pet-specific attachment, something with rubber or bristles that agitates the fabric to loosen trapped hair. If you vacuume didn’t come with one you can easily order it separate. This is what we do for the various attachemnets our Clean Pros use. These tools help lift the fur instead of just sliding over it, especially on textured upholstery.

3. Try a Light Mist of Fabric Softener and Water

Here’s a little pro tip we use on stubborn hair: mix a small amount of fabric softener with water in a spray bottle. Lightly mist the area, then wipe with a microfiber towel. You will reduce the static and make the pet hair easier to remove. Just be sure to test it on a small, hidden spot first to avoid staining. Usually we would do that with our all purpose cleaner and it works wonders.

4. Lay Down a Blanket or Seat Cover Before Rides

If your pet rides with you regularly, use a pet seat cover or even a basic blanket. It’ll catch most of the hair and dirt before it embeds in your seats. After the ride, just shake it out or toss it in the washer. It’s a quick prevention move that saves time later. We have done our share of pet hair removal in Utah for all types of vehicles and this might be the best advice we can give you.

5. Keep a Lint Roller in the Glove Box

Don’t underestimate a classic lint roller. It’s a fast fix when you’re picking someone up or heading to a meeting. A few swipes across the seats or your clothes and you’re good to go, we keep one in every Clean Mobile Detailing vehicle for the same reason.

6. Get on a Seasonal Detail Schedule

Most pets shed heavily in spring and fall, so we recommend scheduling mobile detailing around those seasons. Many Clean Car Club members set up monthly or quarterly visits to keep their car clean year-round. It’s a smart move that extends the life of your upholstery and saves time. Plus, the pet hair removal add-on is free with every Clean Membership appointment. So, no need to wait, schedule your car detailing appointmetn today.
