Can I Use a Rubber Broom on Carpet?

There are a number of different rubber items that can be helpful in removing pet hair from carpet as well. The static that is produced by the rubber when it rubs on the surface of the carpet will attract the pet hair right away.

– Squeegee: Get one that has a long handle so that the job isn’t so back-breaking.
– Rubber Gloves: Rub your hands together and then on the carpet. Once you have created the static, get the glove wet and do it again. This will pull up the hair quickly.
– Brush or Broom: Using long or short strokes, you can work the rubber brush into the fibers and the friction will act as a magnet to the pet hair.
