The 5 Best Pet Hair Removers of 2024, Tested and Reviewed

This small but mighty tool from Analan beat out the other competing products for many reasons, but its dependability was what really sold us it. From the first few wipes, it was clear that this product worked exactly as advertised. It even made easy work of removing embedded hair. We were very pleased with the performance of this reasonably priced pet hair removal tool.

The tool’s triangular shape allows you to use its differently grooved sides to dig out even the most lodged hairs, and its easy clean-up process makes this product a standout. Its small size makes it easy to store in a car compartment or even your pocket for quick, on-the-go cleans, but that’s not to say it’s inefficient for around the house. In fact, this product is recommended for use on smaller surfaces like throw pillows or chair armrests – wherever your furry friend likes to lounge.

However, due to its small stature, this tool would not be ideal for bigger cleans. While it’s possible, it would be quite labor intensive, and there are better tools out there for cleaning large surfaces. But for a quick pick-up, the Analan is your new best friend.

The Evriholder tool is mash-up between a broom and squeegee and is ideal for those tough-to-clean area rugs and carpets. For a combination of two cleaning tools, the reasonable price tag makes this product hard to beat. Equipped with rows of unflagged rubber bristles at the end of the tool, picking up hair in thick rugs has never been easier. When we used it on a high-pile rug, the hair came up in a ball that was easy to pick up. Cleaning the tool was made simple due to the rubber bristles attracting the hair into a large clump, so it could be easily extracted from the broom.

The only grievance with this budget-friendly option was the length of the handle. When we used it on our hands and knees, it felt too long, but when we stood up, it felt too short. It depends on personal preference, but the ability to extend or shorten this handle from three to five feet should minimize the discomfort for anyone interested in the Evriholder tool.

Best for Laundry

Smart Sheep Wool Dryer Balls

Perhaps the most unconventional of the list, these Smart Sheep dryer balls are made from 100 percent premium New Zealand wool and have a textured surface to pick up the stray pet hairs that stick to your clothes. This pack comes with a set of six dryer balls, and it’s recommended to use three of the wool balls for a small load of laundry and five to six for larger loads. We were amazed at the results which provided a hands-free way to get hair off of our clothing. Keep in mind, that while they do an excellent job of removing most of the pet hair, you may need to use a lint roller to remove a few stray hairs.

In addition, these wool balls also cut down on your clothing’s drying time as they absorb water and are an eco-friendly alternative to single-use dryer sheets. If you’re looking for an easy-to-use pet hair removal process for your clothes or bed sheets, then this product from Smart Sheep is calling your name.

Two is better than one! This tool kit is not only a crevice-cleaning set complete with one wide “blade” and another spatula-style tool, but it was also a standout product for deep cleaning during our tests. The 14-inch spatula is perfect for reaching down into hard-to-clean areas, like in between car seats, and the wide blade is equipped with a finger strap for more control over the hair removal process.

We were amazed by how easy it was to clean typical problem areas. We found the crevice tool surprisingly helpful (although the handle was really so much longer than it needed to be). It got into the folds of the chair between the seat and the back. Though the handle is a bit long, it comes in handy in tight spaces.
