If you love cats, then you probably have one - and then you need to know how to get rid of pet fur.

Cleaning furniture from cat fur can be a challenge, but with the right techniques and tools, you can effectively remove the fur and keep your furniture looking clean. 

Here are some methods to clean cat fur from different types of furniture.

Lint Rollers and Sticky Tape

Lint rollers and sticky tape are simple yet effective tools for removing cat fur from furniture surfaces. 

Roll the lint roller or wrap the sticky tape around your hand, then gently press and roll it over the fur-covered areas.

The fur will adhere to the adhesive surface, making it easy to dispose of.

Vacuum Cleaner with Pet Hair Attachment

Use a vacuum cleaner with a pet hair attachment or a specialized pet hairbrush. 

Run the attachment over the furniture's upholstery or fabric to suck up the cat fur effectively.

Rubber Gloves or Damp Sponge

Dampen a rubber glove or sponge and run it across the furniture surface. 

The cat fur will stick to the damp surface due to the static charge.

Lint Brush or Fabric Shaver

For delicate fabrics or clothing with cat fur, use a lint brush to gently remove the fur. 

For pilling or balled-up fabric, a fabric shaver can help restore the surface.

Steam Cleaner

A steam cleaner can effectively lift and remove cat fur from furniture upholstery. 

Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and test it on a small inconspicuous area first.
