A while ago some people gave me tips on removing hair from carpet. The most common suggestion was to drag sneakers (or, I suppose, any rubber soled shoes) over the carpet and the hair would all come out in clumps. I stored this tip in my head along with other useful hints (eg. vinegar and baking soda seem to be useful to clean pretty much anything, registration stickers can be easily removed from windscreens using alcohol based hand cleaning gel).
But after taking my new sneakers out of their box yesterday (and I did make it to the church, despite the enormous hill early in the walk), I decided I needed to wear them again. Exercise two days in a row seemed somewhat excessive so instead I thought I'd try out the carpet tip. And you know what? It works! It also seemed to get a lot of other junk out of the carpet, so when I vaccuumed to get all the other junk usually resident in my carpet, there wasn't a whole lot picked up.
Yay for my new shoes! Thank you HCF for subsidising these carpet cleaning wonder machines.
