  • Meguiar's Hair and Lint Extractor Review

    If you are an obsessive compulsive car fanatic, I recommend you turn away for a moment. What you are about to hear will frighten you....IT IS UGLY. Okay...with that said let me get to the horrific details.....

    I let my Golden Retriever and his German Shephard foster sister ride in the car with me. There. I said it and I feel good about it. Hey I love a clean car as well,but, what's the point of having an SUV if you aren't gonna pack the 4 legged kids in there now and then for outings!!

    Well after three years I noticed that vacuuming alone was not getting all of the dog hair out, so I decided to give the Meguiar's Hair and Lint Extractor a try.

    Bottom line..this thing really works. Attached, I have the untouched photos of my work. I was able to do the back of the Expedition in about 20 minutes. I found that if I used quick,short strokes I could get a good pile of hair going and then I'd use the shop vac. In essence it is BRUSH-VACUUM-BRUSH-VACUUM (Sell dogs...oops j/k hun!)BRUSH-VACUUM. Like I said...3 years.

    Make no mistake, you will get a forearm workout. The rubber is very "grippy" and watch your knuckles. I kept dragging them using the shorter bristle side.

    Overall, awesome product for removing embedded hair. I'd give it B+. (Cep't for the knuckle thing). My ten year old daughter gave the following review, "Dad!! It's looks like we have never had a dog back here!!!"






    The finished project!!

            I've got to get me one of them....a bit concerned about the knuckle dragging though, but I'll deal with that later.

                        We have two cats that are inside cats, that have long hair. They sleep on the couches in the front room and I haven't been able to find anything that really works that picks up cat hair.

                        Leave it to Meguiars to come up with a great tool. The Heavy Duty Carpet & Interior Cleaner works miracles on the cat puke when they throw up on the carpet. Is that too much info? How about before and after pics.

                        The Meguiar's Hair and Lint Extractor is on my shopping list.

                          I take my Dalmatian (white hair) in my car all the time. If I don't take her for at least one or two rides a day she gets downright ornery! Yeah, she's spoiled.

                          Fortunately, I have leather seats so dog hair is not a big issue. I wish this would have been available when I owned cars with cloth seats!

                          If I had an SUV, I would get a liner or a washable throw rug for the cargo area. That's a lot of carpet to clean dog hair out of! The tool works great though!

                            I used my extractor for the first time today and it left black marks everytime I used it on the interior especially on short nap carpet. Has this happened to anyone else? I'll have to get rid of it, I bought it through my distributor.

                            Is there someting wrong with my paticular one?
