Remove Long Hair From Carpet

Got long hair? Sick of trying to clean it off your floors?

Humans are always shedding, so long hairs will inevitably accumulate on your floor over time. Short hair can be easy to vacuum up, but longer strands can cause a problem, and lead to frustration. Even the most expensive vacuums may have trouble when trying to suck up long hair on carpet, so it was no surprise when a customer wrote in wondering what may be a better way to deal with it.

If you are tired of vacuum rollers clogged with long hairs that get wound up over time, then you might be looking for a similar solution too.

QUESTION:

FAQ talks about sweeping up pet hair. What about long human hair in carpets. It ruins roller heads on vacuum cleaners.

ANSWER:

Absolutely. Our rubber broom is great for any kind of hair, and it works on virtually any surface. Use it on long or short hair, and it doesn’t matter if it comes from humans or animals. You can quickly collect it on tile, linoleum, marble, hardwood and even carpeting or throw rugs. You can use it to gather long strands in any room of your house, and on any type of flooring. The natural rubber head will build a slight charge as you work, and the flexible bristles will dig down deep into the nap of the carpet. Once you get started, long hairs will be pulled from the carpet, and collected next to the head of the broom.

Vacuum cleaners have trouble sucking up long hair in the first place, and as you have noticed, if it can pull it up, much will get wound up and stuck in the rollers. Most of us would prefer to avoid tipping the vacuum over to cut the long hairs free, and this broom will help you do just that. Even if you have the best vacuum available, this broom will be able to find remaining hair right after cleaning because they all leave some behind.

Why Does It Work So Well?

Folks who run beauty salons, barber shops and kennels love our Rubber Broom for cleaning up hair, and so do professional groomers. This is based on how well they work, but also how long they last. When you sweep on any surface type, the rubber bristles will form a solid wall, and will build a slight static charge. This helps to collect the hairs, but it also prevents them from flying around.

As you continue working, a pile will form in front off the bristles, and you will be able to build and control it as you move along the floor. On carpet and throw rugs, the bristles take it one step further by digging down to clean deep within the fibers. When you use the right technique, you will be able to lift up hair that your vacuum misses. Long human hair, or shorter pet fur will be cleaned and eliminated just the same.

Instructions For Use:

1. If you are trying to remove long hair in your carpet you would want to use short deliberate strokes. Longer, more regular style sweeping will still collect some, but for a better charge, and deeper clean, keep the movements short and firm.
2. Hold like a regular broom, but do not push. Use it by pulling it towards yourself. You can push dirt on a hard flooring surface, but when using on any type of rug, you really need to pull.
3. As you sweep with short strokes you will see the hair begin to pull up and pile.
4. A static charge will build to help pull it out of the fibers and keep it close at the same time, This results in fast cleaning and a neat pile to scoop when finished. The Sweepa Rubber Broom works so well that you can actually pull out hair that the best vacuums leave behind.
5. Move backward across your floor, and continue in a straight line until you finish that area. Go back to where you began, and move over making sure to overlap slightly and then sweep your next piece of floor. This will ensure total coverage, and allow you to clean thoroughly.
6. Once you have finished the whole area, knock the broom head on the floor to release the charge and then sweep the hair into a dust pan for disposal.
7. If dirty, the rubber head can be washed with soap or water to keep it sanitary.
