    How to clean door seal

    I was doing a detail today and I came across a first

    The interior door seal is not mad of rubber but of a felt fabric

    See below


    The fabric is very dirt but even worse there is lint and dog hair all over it,

    How can I get rid of this?

    Try one of those lint rollers, that'll take the lint & hair off, then proceed from there to clean the fabric.

    Unfortunately the lint roller did nothing. I also used the autogeek rubber pet brush and nothing

    Does a strong vacuum & a toothbrush work? If not, you might have to do it the old-fashioned way ... grab some tweezers and get to picking each piece off individually. Just be careful with any method you choose, you don't want to fray the piece just to get a little bit of debris.

    So you put on rubber gloves, and then what?

    Use rubber kitchen gloves and gently rub and let the static electricity bring out the hair. I use the thick ones because nitrile gloves seem to rip especially if you are using the thin ones. Have your vac next to you, rub then vac and repeat. Good luck.
