The 12 Best Pet Hair Removers of 2026

Best Overall

ChomChom Pet Hair Remover

$25 at Amazon View on Chewy

The ChomChom Roller is a pet hair remover device that combines the easy and intuitive operation of a classic roller with the effectiveness of a reusable lint roller. And unlike a traditional lint roller, there’s no need to stop and remove a sticky sheet every few swipes. Plus, it's 7.5 inches wide, so you can cover large areas fairly quickly. 

The T-shaped tool has a solid but comfortable plastic handle and a hooded roller with a textured fabric brush pad on one side and a fur collection compartment on the other. To use, just roll the tool over a surface with pet hair on it, then flip open the collection compartment to take out the hair you’ve just removed. 

A word of advice: you’ll want to get into the habit of cleaning out the fur reservoir after each use so it doesn’t build up and cause the tool to jam. 

We like that you can reuse this tool over and over without creating waste, and that the manual operation doesn’t require electricity. Most flaws are minor, like how the placement of the button you push to empty the fur compartment makes it easy to accidentally push while you’re using the roller.

We found it works best on upholstery but is also suitable for clothing, blankets, and jackets. Keep in mind that it works better on items that are taut, so if you want to use it on clothes or bedding, hold the item tight while using it.

We also wrote a longer review if you’d like to learn more about the ChomChom.

Best for Clothes

Evercare Magic Lint Remover Brush

$10

$9 at Amazon $9 at Chewy $10 at Target

This classic lint-removing brush works great at removing pet hair from clothes with just a few quick one-way swipes. We like that it offers an eco-friendly alternative to the sticky-sheeted roller tool and that it can be reused many, many times. To remove collected pet hair, you simply swipe the brush pad against something in the opposite direction.

Although the lint-removing material is soft, it has a roughness to it when you rub your finger across it. This traction is how the brush picks up pet hair and lint from fabrics, and it’s also why it’s best not to use the brush on wispy or non-knitted fabrics, as they may catch, pull, or become pilled. The short hairs and tight weave of the lint-removing material can also cause a buildup of smaller lint and dust particles that can be difficult to completely clean off the brush pad, especially once wet or exposed to the oils in your fingers.

Best for Furniture

Uproot Clean Cleaner Pro Pet Hair Remover

$20 at Amazon View on Uprootclean.com View on Walmart

We’ve found that the Uproot Clean Pro Pet Hair Remover often works better than a vacuum to remove pet hair and debris. This handheld device has a patent-pending design that uses two micro-serrated metal bars to lift deep-rooted pet hair and debris from most fabric fibers instantly. During testing, we were consistently shocked at how much material this tool managed to pull up—pet hair, litter, and dirt—even when the surface looked clean and pet hair-free to start.

It’s lightweight and portable, making it easy to carry between rooms or even out to the car. It works amazingly on carpets and rugs, pet furniture and beds, human furniture, and car interiors, but please note that it’s not meant to be used on smooth, non-knitted materials like leather. Because you’ll need to use a scraping and raking movement to catch the pet hair, it may damage delicate or knotted upholstery.

Best for Floors

FURemover Pet Hair Rubber Broom

$21 at Amazon View on Ace Hardware View on Walmart

The Furemover Broom is what you’d get if a rake, broom, and squeegee had a baby that grew up to become a rough-and-tough pet hair remover for nearly all floor and pet hair types. Essentially, this double-sided pet hair removal tool features a rubber-toothed broom and a rubber squeegee-like side that uses friction to attract, uproot, and collect pet hair from carpet, tile, concrete, and linoleum floors. Truth be told, the broom side can be a little too disruptive, tossing debris and hair into the air, but we found the squeegee side to be where the magic is, at least for shorter carpets and hard floors.

As a bonus, the plastic handle is adjustable between 36 to 60 inches in height, making it comfortable to use for taller people. Tall or short, everyone should be prepared to put in a bit of muscle for this broom to do its thing, and you’ll want to follow up with a vacuum to capture all the dirt and debris left over. Use it with a dog doormat to catch dirt before it gets in, and your house will be spotless.

Best Scraper

Analan Mini Pet Hair Remover Brush

$15 at Amazon

The Analan Mini Pet Hair Detailer is a convenient and compact handheld pet removal tool that offers great control during use and effectively grabs pet hair off fabrics. The triangle shape features serrated edges of different sizes on each side, letting you pick the best size of serration for the type and texture of the hair you’re trying to capture—a rare and valuable part of the overall design.

Additionally, the ergonomic shape fits comfortably in the palm of most adult hands, helping to alleviate some of the labor involved in using the tool. We also like that you can wedge the corners into furniture crevices to help dislodge accumulated tufts of pet hair. Since this is a small and detail-focused tool, it’s not ideal for removing pet hair from larger areas like rugs or couches.

Best Lint Roller

Evercare Pet Hair Extra Sticky Lint Roller

$7 at Amazon $8 at Chewy $15 at Target

Every pet owner faced with the task of removing pet hair has likely tried some version of a sticky-sheeted roller. We feel your pain, and that’s why we recommend the Evercare Pet Lint Roller Extreme Stick Plus.

While it may look like your typical pet hair roller, these sheets are extra sticky and pick up a decent amount of hair in a single swipe. We also like that the roller picks up long hair and that you can buy a pack of three (though the refill rollers only have 60 sheets, vs. 100 for the new product).

The plastic handle is decently sturdy and has an ergonomic shape, which we appreciate when working on surfaces practically coated in pet hair. The refillable sheets are a convenient way to start from maximum stickiness over and over, but we wish they were at least made from a recyclable material. Also, one downside to the extra stickiness of the sheets is that it can sometimes be hard to rip off the used roller sheet.

Best Disposable Sheets

Swiffer Sweeper Pet Heavy Duty Dry Sweeping Cloths

$15

$15 at Amazon $15 at Target $10 at Home Depot

The Swiffer Sweeper Pet Heavy Duty Dry Sweeping Cloths are made for use with a standard Swiffer dry mop and feature a fluffier surface texture made from over 30,000 3D fibers with an overall look and feel similar to loose cotton balls. This texture is highly effective at trapping and picking up errant pet hair (particularly soft undercoat hairs), dust bunnies, and other lightweight debris from smooth floors and surfaces.

We also appreciate that each sweeping pad has a very light Febreeze scent that helps to neutralize any lingering pet odors. In addition to pet hair, these sheets are also effective at picking up dust and 98 percent of pet dander allergens, making them a great resource for pet owners with allergies.

We’ve also used these dry sweeping cloths for quick wipe-downs of furniture with hard surfaces, like bookshelves, tables, and counters. These sheets work best at catching softer textured pet hair and may not work as effectively for coarser types of hair.

Best for Laundry

Smart Sheep Wool Dryer Balls

$20 at Amazon View on Smartsheepdryerballs.com

Dryer balls are an easy way to remove pet hair from clothes, sheets, blankets, or anything you’re already throwing in the wash. These dryer balls by Smart Sheep are impressively effective at removing pet hair, even from full and large loads. They work by adding extra air circulation to your dryer cycle, which, in turn, removes static, shortens dry times, and pulls off pet hair and whatever else may be clinging to fabrics.

We particularly like these dryer balls for removing pet hair from pet blankets, pet beds, and clothing. Plus, they last for up to 1,000 washes before needing to be replaced, and they act like a natural fabric softener, cutting down on overall costs and chemicals. However, wool dryer balls work best on natural fiber fabrics.

They aren’t recommended for delicate or thin, synthetic materials like spandex, which can pill or become damaged by dryer balls. Each order comes with six balls, and there are options for plain white or three cute animal designs.

Best for Cars

Lilly Brush Pro Pet Hair Tool Kit

$36 at Amazon View on Chewy View on Lillybrush.com

Cleaning and detailing a car's interior is already a hassle, and it can be an even bigger project if you have furry passengers. This pro detailing kit by the Lilly Brush store makes removing pet hair from your car completely hassle-free. The wide detailer tool allows you to quickly swipe pet hair off of seats and floor mats.

The finger strap also gives you added security while working and makes it more comfortable to grip the tool. The detailer tool has both rounded and sharp corners, so it works across multiple surface types and angles.

The crevice tool in this kit is great for those hard-to-reach nooks and crannies between and under seats. It has an extra-long 14-inch handle, so you can reach deep into cracks. Similar to the Lilly Brush Mini Pet Hair Detailer, this tool is easy to wipe off with a damp cloth if there are hairs stuck on the rubber.

_{Dimensions: 15.75 x 6 x 0.75 inches | Material: Plastic, rubber}

Best Handheld Vacuum

Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+ Cordless Handheld Vacuum

$100 at Amazon $100 at Target $100 at Home Depot

Powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, the Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+ Cordless Handheld Vacuum provides 25 minutes of cordless suction to help you clean up after your pet in various spaces, such as the inside of a car. It weighs less than 3 pounds, contributing to its portability.

During our tests, it effectively picked up kibble and wet hair from hardwood surfaces, though it took an additional pass to achieve this on carpeting—not uncommon for other handheld vacuum cleaners we tested. We were impressed by how well the silicone fins on the pet power brush attachment kept pet hair from wrapping around the roller. The included crevice tool cleans between cushions, and the scrubbing brush picks up dirt and debris from upholstery.

While the canister easily emptied into the trash with the CleanTouch dirt ejector, we still had to reach in and wipe away stuck wet hair to clean it out completely. We like the fact that it comes with a washable filter, a power cord, and a 2-year warranty. However, the docking station must be purchased separately.

Best for Travel

Lilly Brush Mini Pet Hair Detailer

$16 at Amazon View on The Container Store View on Walmart

If you frequently travel with your dog in the car or even on planes, this tiny pet hair detailer by the Lilly Brush Store is a great tool to have with you. This detailer can also be clipped to a keychain, so you never leave home without it.

Its simple, yet effective design allows for easy cleaning of tight corners and broad swaths of fabric. Although this detailer was great on taut fabric, such as upholstery, we would not recommend it for removing hair from clothing.

In our testing, the detailer picked up a large amount of hair after just one swipe and balled it up neatly. Although it's recommended that you clean this tool with a damp cloth, we found it effective to rinse it in a sink if there are some stubborn hairs stuck on the rubber.

We recognize that this tool's small size does require more effort for cleaning large areas, but for quick, everyday messes, we think it's more than sufficient. Whether you need to quickly clean upholstery in a rental home or wipe off your car's upholstery, this tool is a great on-the-go option.

Best Glove

Salhap Pet Hair Removal Glove

$17 at Amazon

Pet hair removal mitts or gloves using static electric technology have gained viral popularity as an eco-friendly, reusable option to traditional sticky paper lint rollers. Although we didn't test this pet hair removal glove from Salhap, it's a top-rated pick at Amazon, with over 10,000 sold in the past month, so it's worth including in our list.

The glove-like design fits comfortably around the hand and is constructed of a breathable, flexible mesh fabric that allows it to generate static electricity as you move it across surfaces, allowing pet hair to collect on tiny dual-directional bristles for easy removal. You can use it to remove pet hair on multiple surfaces, such as rugs, clothes, and upholstery—even to remove loose top coat directly off your cat or dog; however, some reviewers report that it's not as effective on short-hair dogs.

Measuring 9.5 x 6.69 inches, the glove covers a large surface area. But for those with small hands, it may be difficult to get a good grip while keeping the glove flat against the surface. Overall, most users find it easy to use and clean; simply peel off the collected hair and run the glove under water.
