A FACT of life most dog owners know to be true: Love the pet, hate the pet hair.

But one social media user's easy hack for sweeping up Lassie's locks from the floor has hundreds of viewers reacting with amazement.


Elizabeth Samuel Home, a Texas-based home store, shared the cleaning trick in a video on Pinterest.

The incredibly simple update to a traditional broom has some commenters asking why they didn't think of it themselves.

"Seriously? where have I been?" asked one.

The hack requires a regular bristle broom and a roll of wide packing tape.

Simply pull out a strip of tape the length of the bottom of your broom.

Stick one half along the bottom of the bristles, with the bottom half of the tape forming a sticky barrier underneath.

When you sweep, the broom will catch most of the dog hair – but anything that slips past will stick to the tape.

The broom tweak should allow you to sweep up more in a single stroke and ensure no hair gets missed.

If pet hair gets stuck to your clothes and you don't have a lint roller on hand, Apartment Therapy says rubber kitchen gloves will work in a pinch.

Simply put on a glove or two and run them over the hair-covered garment.

The friction between the glove and the fabric creates static that forces the pet hair – and other lint – to stick to the glove.

You can also try dampening the gloves before rubbing them over the fabric, which will also make the hair stick to them.
