    Re: Doghair...AHHH!!!!

    Sometimes an extra $50. It really depends on the breed of dog. Yes I discriminate, and I'm proud of it. Boxer/lab/hunter dogs hair is super wirey and a pain to get out and it takes forever. Golden retriever hair seems to be pretty easy, so I would charge less.

    I've found that the best tools for dog hair are the rubber pet hair brush, a lava rock (supposedly its marketed as a dog hair remover but it looks just like a lava rock lol) and duct tape. Along with a strong vacuum, it takes a while but it will come out.

    I hate dog hair. I hate it I tell you! I feel your pain,....

    Haha i hate it!!! I felt so bad charging a lady 40 dollars extra but the amount of dog hair in her car was horrible! Them rubber pet hair brushes are great! With a little bit of patience it comes out pretty easy..

    Amazon.com: Riccar Handheld Turbo Brush. Fits Most Standard Vacuum Cleaners: Home & Kitchen

    One of these attached to your wet vac makes shorter work.
    Many different models and manufacturers.

    Most customers are aware of the upcharge...as in, not their first rodeo hand.

    Another trick to try is a pumice stone. This has worked for me where the rubber pet brush has done nothing.

    They make pet hair stones which are similar to pumice stones. However they work much much better! They are more porous then the typical pumice stone and are a life saver. Trust me!

    They are more expensive but well worth the extra money.

    This is a mini cooper I did a few weeks ago. The owner carries her chocolate lab and yellow lab around in it all the time. The fur was literally embedded in the seat backing and carpets...the pumice stone made it a lot easier. Still took a decent amount of time.
