How to Get Pet Hair Off Of a Fabric Couch

 I have 2 cats and one dog that feel they are humans and share the couch with me, especially in the evening during snuggles while watching TV.

But guess what?  After a week or so it looks like they left a carbon copy of themselves behind!  Fur everywhere, and the worst part is the vacuum simply straightens it without really picking it up.

FRUSTRATING!!

You Too??

Try This Simple Technique Without Any Chemicals

What you Will Need:

1 x Pair of Rubber Gloves!  Preferably with Nubs on Them.

THAT IS IT!!

Check out the Short Video on Just How Well This Works.

I was seriously surprised at how well this works, especially in between cushions and underneath.

Be ready to stop every so often to gather up the accumulating fur and hair.  There are so many products on the market for this chore, but this is the easiest way to get it off the furniture and you will be amazed at how clean and new it will look!

If your couch has seen better days due to animals and even humans, start with this step of using the rubber gloves.

You don't have to stop at the couch either, this works on rugs and carpets.  I especially love how it works on area rugs that can for some reason don't respond to the vacuum cleaner very well!

I love snuggle time on the couch and don't plan on stopping it anytime soon!  So invest in a pair of rubber gloves and keep with your cleaning supplies.

Car Camping Without a Tent - Comfy Car Hotel!

Maybe you love the idea of traveling but not the idea of setting up a tent and all the added work.  Or maybe you are a tiny bit scared of critters in the night sniffing at your tent!

THIS WOULD BE ME!  

I have found these awesome products that can turn the back seat of your car (and you don't have to have a van for this) into a proper bed!  Check it out below:

There are inflatable supports that fit in the foot wells so that you can use that space for sleeping!  You can feel safe and comfortable in your own car off the ground with no worries of critters sniffing at you and you can feel secure by locking the doors.

I personally think this is an awesome way to camp.  Easiest packing up ever!

If You Want to Spread Out a Bit .... Car Tent

If you find you love the idea of sleeping in the car or the back of an SUV especially, there are these cool tents that are designed just for that.  They attach to the back of your SUV or VAN.

They give you the airflow overnight, so you can still sleep comfy in the van and have a place to get out and sit that is under cover from the hot sun or weather.  

It is like having an instant bedroom and a living room while camping!

These attach to the back of an SUV or van as you can see in the above pictures from Amazon.

I was amazed at the products you can get to make camping more comfy!  If you are young and flexible, this may not appeal to you, but as you get older a good night sleep can be hard to get especially on the hard ground!

I love the idea of being OFF the ground myself and cozy.

Window Shade and Mesh

These are portable and can help to keep the sun out of the interior of the car as well as protect from bugs at night if you keep the window rolled down.  

Perfect scenario for me!  Cushy mattress, night breezes through the window without bugs!  Camping has taken on a whole new meaning

Turn Your Car into a Comfy Hotel!

You can travel on the cheap without the setting up of tents or discomfort.  Pack it all up quickly the next day and you are on your way.  You can go to campgrounds or simply rest stops, anywhere you can park your car overnight.

This is also an awesome way to self isolate during these scary times of the pandemic and yet enjoy the fresh air and nature.  Something to consider!

If you are renting and can't do any DIY such as fixing holes or painting, using printable quotes and adding them to different sized shabby chic or dollar store frames will cover that wall with something way more interesting!
