I found out on our last trip that the "Furminator" dog "deshedding" comb does a great job in picking up dog hair from the carpet in our MH and it takes just a few minutes to do it. I have the large one supposed to be for dogs with hair longer than 2inches. It has a metal rake 4 inches long. I have used it on the upholstery but I think it's a bit harsh for that and the old rubber gloved hand is probably better. No vacuum cleaner/stiff brush does a better job. They are not cheap (a little over £30 I think) but they are extremely well engineered and very sturdy and it looks like it will last a lifetime. It's meant for grooming the dog of course and does a great job at doing that too. Other stuff like the rubber mits and standard brushes are a pain to clean afterwards but the furminator has a nifty mechanism which releases the hair it catches. The alternative would of course be to have a dog that doesn't shed so much but I forgive her because apart from that she's a delight.

There is another option......no dog.
That has occured to me Roger as I battle the downside of dog ownership. It's too late I'm afraid as we got her from the "for life not for Christmas" brigade and I would have to hang my head in shame if I returned her.

If like me you have 3 bearded collies then the dog hair doesn´t worry you.
To busy trying to get all the mud and other crap they bring into the van off the light colored interior!!!!
