My bedroom rug is a kilim-style Ikea number; the living-room rug has a very low pile. I also have long hair, and I shed, as do both of my cats. Thus there’s all kinds of hair, much of it very dark, on these rugs. Vacuuming, even at the “bare floors” setting, doesn’t do a very good job. (I have an otherwise pretty good vacuum cleaner, newish, that I’m not going to replace). Sweeping doesn’t work (though I’ll admit my broom is old). I end up kind of raking the rug with my fingers, at which point it’s easier to pick up the hair by hand.
Any tips?
