Mike Halliday says he just spits them out  :o

For me though, Sebo Vac slowly back and forth, pre-spray then Envirodri brush prior to rinse extract. Normal stuff really. If I was using an LM system, I'd still probably use the E40 after the pre-spray.

Safe and happy cleaning :)

why bring me in to it :D

I find once the carpets damp they just collect onto what ever you are agitating with.

on furniture I find once they are dampened i can just rub my flat hand in a circle and they just ball up

Ditto with upholstery Mike. And I find that blue marigolds work better than yellow ones ;)

Safe and happy cleaning :)

Wear a latex glove for furniture, and brush your hand across the DRY fabric, it will all ball up and be very easily vacuumed

I bought a yellow top brush from active chemicalls thats alltec for those whom dont know there full trading name, about ten years ago, you can by them now in the likes of B&Q for about £5.00 they have lots of rubber tenticals on them a bit like an artex brush,you just dip them in water and brush them across the carpet the dog and cat hairs stick to them like a magnet

While I agree with above
