I keep a roll of cheap clear packing tape in the car, wrap some around my hand sticky side out and use that. Allows me to get into places I can't reach with a lint roller.

Must say the fur cleans off the FR-S cloth seats much easier than I thought it would. It's actually harder to get it off the carpets.

I also use this

you have to go over the area slowly otherwise it'll just throw the hair back as the bristles spring forward, but it has a squeegie type thing on the side that helps by getting into the crevices. This tool loosens the hair significantly so that I can put it in a pile and then hit it with the lint roller. Also small enough to keep in the glove box.

I also give the dog a really good brushing before getting in the car, prevention doesn't stop all the hair but it helps. One time I didn't and I could have made another dog out of all the hair.

lol, love this thread. I have a Husky and a Puggle. Puggle's hair isn't so bad, but I swear the Husky sneaks into my car every night and sleeps. Funny thing is he has NEVER been near my car and the interior is covered with his hair!!! :bonk:

Anyone with some real tips for taking care of this? I was thinking of buying a shop vac and just goin at it every few days.

The Furzoff is what I use (along with the shop vac). Basically a pumice stone. Its fine on the carpets to pile up the hair for easy vacuuming. But dont use it on the micro suede seats. Its just a nasty rock so it will damage the delicate fabric. on the carpets your good though.

you can also try putting on a pair of rubber gloves while vacuuming. with gloves on you can pile it up by hand pretty easily if its not embedded in there

OT: The rubber glove with a vac trick and a stiff nylon bristled carpet brush have been my method of choice for a while.

Don't agree with that. MY FR-S is my DD and I like to take my dog with me when possible. Happiness > pet hair on the car seat.

I use a Dyson DC34. Against cat hair it works OK, it cleans my car good either way.

Lint rollers are your friend. Buy them in bulk.

so far we have been using lint rollers and a high horsepower rigid wet/dry vac. with adams total interior detail spray. works well, in the SO's genesis and my brz.
