It doesn't matter how comfortable or pretty a couch is if it's covered in pet hair. The hair will make it itchy and prickly. It can make even those without allergies feel like rubbing their eyes or go into a sneezing fit. Whether you want to make guests feel more comfortable in your home or you would like to sit on your own couch for a change, getting that cat and dog fur off your couch will make a huge difference in your living room.

Whether it's called "micro suede" or "micro fiber", the couch is advertised for being the best for homes with pets. Most of them are stain resistant and come in a wide variety of colors that compliment your home... or perhaps the color of your pet. While the pet hair doesn't exactly fall right off the material as often advertised, it is much easier to remove than some other fabrics that are woven or knitted. Simply choose one or a combination of the steps below to easily remove the pet hair from your couch. Before trying one method in particular, be sure to first spot test it in an area that is easily hidden to be sure that it won't affect the over all look of the couch permanently.

Good suggestions! We don't have a pet anymore but my mom does and she has micro-fiber as well... I'll let her know your tips.
