Removing Dog / Cat / Pet Hair From Your Interior
The DC Metro area is full of pet friendly areas: Parks, restaurants, walking trails and more. We love driving our pets around to the best locations and letting them run free. Unfortunately, that also means ending up with pet hair in our car's interior - it's a small price to pay for our pet's happiness! So how does one remove this accumulation of hair?Do-It-YourselfHair differs from stains and crumbs because the hair itself can weave in-between the upholstery fabric, making it more stubborn to remove. In addition, the longer pet hair remains on the seats and carpets, the more embedded it becomes - not to mention the odor that may be associated with it. There are two options for removing hair: do it yourself, or have a professional auto detailer take care of it. If you are planning to do it yourself, just remember that patience is key. One of the main problems with pet hair is static cling. To help alleviate this cling, use a wet cloth to wipe down the seats and carpets - this helps in loosening up remaining hair. Next, use a lint roller, hard wire brush, or even a fabric sheet! After removing a large majority of the hair, a simple vacuum can help remove any excess dog or pet hair.Depending on how long the hair has been in the car, it could go deeper into the seats and carpets and therefore cannot be removed with the simple steps above. Luckily, Capitol Shine has the right tools to finish the job. We have special brushes and high-powered vacuums that are specially designed to remove items like pet hair, deep stains, food and more. Our Interior Shampoo package also helps to go deep into your upholstery and remove stains and odors.Capitol Shine's Interior ShampooOur Interior Shampoo package will leave your upholstery and carpets looking amazing.
