Vacuum first

Use an upholstery attachment and slow passes. Work seams and cushion edges where fur collects.

Use a fabric-safe tool for remaining hair

Reusable rollers or rubberized tools can lift surface hair from many durable fabrics. Test an inconspicuous area first.

Wash removable covers according to their labels

If cushion covers are washable, pre-remove loose fur before putting them into the washer.

Furniture is one of the upstream sources of hair on clothing. Follow with pet-hair prevention for clothes.
