The companionship my dogs offer brings great joy to me. I love taking them on trips in the truck. The mess they leave on my seats from shedding however, does not bring me great joy. My blue heeler sheds like he is paid the salary of MLB player to do so. The hair refuses to just vacuum up out the seats too. You would think that he glued it to the seats just to mock me. I have vacuumed with big shop vacs, the giant vacuum at the car wash, and even brought the house vacuum out to use the rotating brush and "pet" attachment. No joy. I pretty much settled on the fact that I just had to live with the hair, or should I say, any passengers I took in my truck had to live with it.

After watching some YouTube videos on vehicle detailing, I decided to try out a couple of pet hair removal tools. I picked up the Chemical Guys Professional Rubber Pet Hair Removal Brush and the Lilly Brush Mini Pet Hair Detailer. After they arrived I took them out to the truck to attempt cleaning up a weekend trip's worth of hair from the back seats. Without using a vacuum, I wanted to see how much of the hair I could get out of the seats.

Surprisingly, both of them preformed great. The Chemical Guys brush costs about half of the Lilly Brush and ironically comes in at about twice as large. It worked great, cleaning up large amounts of dog hair in moments. However, it did not get into the seat crevices and crannies as well as the Lilly Brush detailer. In combination they removed nearly all of the dog hair from my back seat. Combined with using a vacuum I believe it would make the seats look good as new.

If you have a SUV and your dogs ride in the back with a large carpeted area you definitely want to get the Chemical Guys brush. The larger surface area will clean it up in no time. If you just want to spend the least amount possible and still get good results the Chemical Guys is the way to go.

If your pets ride on the seats, like they do in my truck, and you only want to spend money on one thing, get the Lilly Brush detailer. While it is more expensive, the small size and square corners clean up those small space a tiny bit better. Especially if you are not vacuuming. I am often traveling with people and the dogs so being able to let the Lilly Brush detailer just live in the center console or glove box means I can always get the seats cleaned up quickly for passengers.

Truthfully I am glad I got both and I think that having the combo will be the best way to go in the long run. The Lilly Brush will definitely be riding with me all the time while the Chemical Guys brush will go in my car cleaning kit to use on all the vehicles. Let me know if you have a secret to getting dog hair out the seats of your vehicle. I'd love to hear it if you do.
