detailing hack / pet hair

So,
I took a camping trip this week end , I have a white dog that sheds 24/7/365 days a year, My Jeep Grand Cherokee interior is black not a good combo, so I was looking for a good way to remove pet hair other than the sticky roller that I was having to re-peel approx every 2 seconds , came across this !! a pumice stone, they sell them on Amazon as fur busters for about $10-12 but you can buy them at Ace for $3.59 Ace advertises

them as BBQ grill cleaners or toilet bowl cleaners !!
It works great removed almost 95% of the pet hair caution you have to go easy because it will remove fibers, don't know that I would use it on delicate fabrics but it worked really well on the rear cargo area of the Jeep !!

Pumice is formed first in volcanic event. It’s generally the highest elevation volcanic fragments to form consisting of molten magma + water, it forms rapidly upon immediate cooling (generally obtained reaching the highest and coldest atmospheric conditions). Some call it hammered whale $HIT. Subduction leads to orogeny.

Hahaha. This reminds me of the days back in the Navy on the submarine. There was a "new guy" in the division we nicknamed "Pumice". He wanted to know why we kept calling him that. Leading First said it was simple- Pumice was "the lightest rock." Ex-Navy guys will get that one. Rock meaning essentially bonehead, and being heavy or light was the descriptor of job knowledge level. Ah, the things you could do back when you didn't have to worry about whiney b*tches getting triggered and burning your city down.

As for scrubbing the interior, I guess that pumice would work, but I'm not sure I'd do it to the fabric too often. I'd probably get something else that would pose less of a threat to the seat fabric.

If subduction leads to orogeny, then seduction leads to orgasms. My version sounds better.

Mmm yeah, dog hair in the back of the Jeep. I gave up over 10 years ago and just resigned the Jeep to being a canine transport vehicle. There's so much dog hair in there that I don't see any way to get it out other than replacing the carpet and seats.

Yeah as I stated probably not good for delicate fabric, but for the cargo area worked great !! better than the 3 piece magic pet hair removal kit I wasted my money on a few years ago.

One of my co-workers back in the early 2000s had a spinning wheel and loom and we discussed making dog hair blankets. She said it would be about the same as using sheep wool, but unfortunately I never followed through with her. That would have been kinda neat to have.

Well if ya ever decide to do it , maybe Tedd and I are your suppliers, our house is mostly tile except for bed rooms. I have a big wide dust mop I use it every day !
we have two ceiling fans that run 24/7 one in the family room one in the dining room they seem to blow the dog hair into the same corners every day ! you can have it !!
in kind of related topic I saw a article about a woman who didn't want to waste her dryer lint so when she emptied the lint trap she seperated the colors the best she could and used it for art, she would spray the canvas with adhesive and basically stick it to the canvas like a painter would use paint !! the end result had depth and were quite amazing she was quite the artist. so you never know you may be on to something !!!

Thanks for the offer, but there are plenty of "dog hair tumbleweeds" rolling around the tile floor at my house as well. Isn't it amazing how it piles up in certain spots?

I have a German Shedder as well along with two Corgis. We used to have dust/hair bunnies that we named because they always came back. The wife finally convinced me to get a Roomba and it collects a Chihuahua sized pile of hair every night. We have a split-level house so we ended up with two Roombas and now we just empty them once a day and use the vacuum once a week. The little rotating broom is great at collecting the hair around the feet of chairs. Our vacuum came with a "pet hair" attachment with rubber surrounding the opening. It does a passable job but once you decide you have inside dogs, you are pretty much resigned to having pet hair on the FURniture forever.

I have a white English Bulldog.....I honestly don't know why he isn't bald he sheds so bad. I've had pretty good luck using a longer nap microfiber cloth picking up dog hair. However, I gave up trying to eliminate it years ago. If you don't like dog hair tumbleweeds....don't come to my house...

Cheers,

Troy
