    I didn’t understand the plight of pet owners until I adopted a pet of my own. Silently I judged my dog- and cat-owning friends for the pet hair they always had on their clothes and furniture (and on my clothes when I visited, too). If they just cleaned more, they could keep their homes fur-free. How wrong I was.

    I scheduled a robot vacuum to clean my floors every day to no avail; there was hair in the exact spot I knew was clean 10 minutes ago. Even with the reusable lint roller I keep by the door (sticky lint rollers work, too, but think of all that waste), I found stray hairs on my clothes after I looked at my black shirts in the natural light.

    More on Cleaning at Home

    My velvet couch, which was once pink, had sections that were more gray and white where my cat especially enjoys rubbing his body. With some dogs and cats shedding even more than usual in the spring, it’s an issue that only gets worse this time of year.

    For my own self-interest and to help you take control of your own pet hair sitch, I put six pet hair remover tools to the test. Three of my colleagues also tried each tool at home on dog and cat hair (one of them had seven cats’ worth of hair to clean up). After removing Maine Coon hair from velvet and polyester-linen blend pillows, a low-pile carpet, a polyester camisole, and a rib-knit sweater, I found the best tools for the job.
