How do I keep my couch free of dog hair?

Sofa Decor Liora Pom Edge Boho Sofa Seat Cover styled for pet friendly sofa cover guide in Australian homes

Keeping your couch free of dog hair can be a bit of a battle, but with the right tricks, it’s totally manageable. Here are some tried-and-true methods:

1. Use a Pet Hair Cover or Blanket

Place a washable cover, throw, or blanket where your dog usually lounges. You can just toss it in the wash regularly—way easier than cleaning the whole couch.

2. Brush Your Dog Regularly

Brushing your dog frequently (especially breeds that shed a lot) drastically cuts down the amount of hair that ends up on your furniture. Consider tools like the Furminator or a slicker brush.

3. Vacuum Often

Use a vacuum with a pet hair attachment at least a couple of times a week. Handheld models or those with upholstery tools make quick work of it.

4. Try Lint Rollers or Rubber Gloves

A sticky lint roller works well for light cleaning. For more stubborn hair, dampen a rubber glove and run it over the couch—the hair will cling to it like magic.

5. Fabric Softener Spray

Mix water with a little fabric softener in a spray bottle and lightly mist the couch. Let it dry, then wipe it down or vacuum—it helps loosen hair and smells nice too.

6. Anti-static Spray

Pet hair clings due to static. An anti-static spray (or even a DIY version with water and vinegar) can help reduce the cling factor.

7. Keep Your Dog Clean

Regular baths and grooming can reduce shedding. Healthier coats shed less.
