If you’re a dog parent, you know the joy of taking your furry friend on car rides—whether it’s for a trip to the park, a vet visit, or a weekend getaway. But what happens after the fun? You’re often left with a car full of pet hair clinging to the seats, carpets, and every crevice imaginable.
Pet hair in your car isn’t just unsightly—it can also trigger allergies, create lingering odors, and make your vehicle feel less inviting. Luckily, you can tackle this problem head-on with the right tools and techniques. In this guide, we’ll explore the best way to clean pet hair from your car and introduce you to The Bare Brush, the ultimate pet hair remover for cars.
Why Does Pet Hair Stick to Car Surfaces?
Pet hair has a knack for embedding itself into car upholstery and carpets. The combination of static electricity, fabric texture, and your pet’s movement during the ride makes it easy for fur to cling to every surface. Before you give up and accept a fur-covered car as your new normal, know that there are simple and effective ways to remove it.

2. Quick Cleaning Hacks for Pet Hair in Your Car
While The Bare Brush is your go-to tool, combining it with these quick hacks will make your car cleaning routine even more effective.
Hack 1: Use a Damp Cloth or Rubber Gloves
- Dampen a microfiber cloth or wear slightly wet rubber gloves. Run them over your car seats and carpets to create friction, which helps lift pet hair.
- Follow up with The Bare Brush to gather any remaining fur.
Hack 2: Vacuum with Precision
- Use a vacuum cleaner with a pet hair attachment or a nozzle designed for tight spaces.
- Vacuum the seats and carpets after using The Bare Brush to pick up loosened hair.
Hack #3: Static Control with Dryer Sheets
- Gently rub a dryer sheet over your car’s upholstery to reduce static and loosen embedded pet hair.
- Pair this method with The Bare Brush for a thorough clean.
3. Best Way to Clean Pet Hair from Car Carpets
Car carpets are often the toughest spots to clean because pet hair gets trapped deep in the fibers. Here’s how to tackle them effectively:
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Pre-Clean with The Bare Brush: Start by sweeping The Bare Brush over the carpet to lift surface hair. Its eco-friendly design makes it perfect for loosening fur stuck in carpet fibers.
- Vacuum Thoroughly: Use a vacuum with strong suction and a brush attachment to lift hair from deep within the carpet pile.
- Use a Rubber Squeegee: For stubborn hair, run a rubber squeegee over the carpet to gather fur into clumps for easy removal.
Pro Tip: Regularly clean your car carpets to prevent hair buildup and maintain a fresh interior.
4. Preventing Pet Hair in Your Car
While cleaning is essential, prevention is even better. Here are some tips to minimize pet hair in your car:
Groom Your Dog Before Rides
Brushing your dog before they hop into the car can significantly reduce shedding. Use a high-quality shedding brush to remove loose fur.
Use Car Seat Covers
Invest in removable, washable seat covers to protect your car’s upholstery. These covers act as a barrier and make cleanup easier.
Feed a Healthy Diet
Your dog’s diet plays a big role in coat health and shedding. A diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids and probiotics can help reduce excessive shedding. Consider trying Candidly Fresh Chicken Kibble, which contains probiotics to support your dog’s skin and coat.
Why Choose The Bare Brush as Your Pet Hair Roller Alternative
While traditional pet hair rollers can be effective, they often create waste with disposable sheets. The Bare Brush is a sustainable and reusable alternative that works just as well—if not better—on car surfaces.
Key Benefits of The Bare Brush:
- Reusable & Sustainable: No need to buy refills or disposable sheets.
- Versatile: Works on multiple surfaces, including car seats, carpets, and even clothing.
- Effortless Cleaning: Lightly sweep it across any surface to lift pet hair instantly.
Whether you’re cleaning your car or your home, The Bare Brush simplifies pet hair removal while protecting the planet.
5. When to Deep Clean Your Car
While regular cleaning is essential, deep cleaning your car once a month can keep pet hair and odors at bay.
Deep Cleaning Checklist:
- Use The Bare Brush to remove surface pet hair from seats and carpets.
- Vacuum thoroughly, focusing on corners and crevices.
- Wash removable seat covers and floor mats.
- Wipe down hard surfaces with a damp microfiber cloth.
By staying consistent with your cleaning routine, you’ll keep your car looking and smelling fresh—no matter how many adventures you take with your furry friend.
