Since we will be moving soon, I was wondering how on earth do I remove all the dog hair from my couch? I know that I will not be able to get all of it out, but I would like to remove the most that I can. I have tried vacuuming, shampooing and using a lint roller, but are there any other tips?
Only cats here (but lots and lots of those) - we've had good luck with the Gonzo Pet Hair Sponge but nothing we've ever tried is perfect. mrstewart's suggestion of the clear packing tape is also good but we had better luck with the sponge.
We've also got a napped brush head - similar to one of those reversable lint brushes - for our vacuum and if you're willing to work it back and forth for awhile it does a very good job. This is what we use to get the ground in hair out of cat beds and out of the carpet on their tree/scratching posts. Sorry, I don't remember where got it but someplace like PetsMart is likely to have something like it.
Location: Sometimes Maryland, sometimes NoVA. Depends on the day of the week

A rubber brush works wonder. I have one just like this:Amazon.com: Rubber Pet Brush: Home & Garden and I love it. You can find them cheaper than this one, it was just quick and easy to show.
Dampening the rubber brush works best. Between the rubber and the moisture, most of the hair comes up. The fur is why my furniture is covered with washable sheets.
I just ordered "StickySheets". They are supposed to be a miracle product. I haven't received them yet, so I'll need to get back to this thread to give an update when I personally use them.
Our sofa is a large microfiber thingie. Everything sticks to it!! Spots do clean up well from it though.

My wet hand works better than a dryer sheet.
