How to remove dog hair from a sofa

Sofas are where dogs settle in, which also makes them one of the first places loose hair gathers. A simple, repeatable routine can make the fabric look more cared for between deeper cleans without turning everyday upkeep into a big job.

Start with a dry surface

For loose hair on a dry sofa, begin by working one cushion or section at a time. A quick pass with a suitable fabric brush can lift hair from the surface before it has a chance to build up in the places your dog uses most.

Work in small sections

Use steady, gentle strokes and collect the lifted hair as you go. Smaller sections make it easier to notice the seams, cushion edges and armrests where hair tends to gather.

Keep a simple weekly rhythm

A short touch-up after the busiest parts of the week is often easier than leaving the whole sofa until it needs a larger clean. Add cushions, pet beds and washable throws to the same routine to keep the room feeling fresher overall.

Choose the right tool for the fabric

For suitable dry fabric surfaces, Petnetic's Fur & Fabric Reusable Pet Hair Remover is designed for quick loose-hair touch-ups on sofas, pet beds and fabric car seats. Check the care guidance for your furniture and test gently on a hidden area first.
