Can someone tell me what this product is? I have a dog who sheds a ton. I have half carpet/half hardwood and run a roomba every single day, still in the hardwood areas I get huge hairballs gathered in corners ALL of the time..if I get this I can scrape the carpets and take care of that

Oh my god. Oh my god I found that in my basement a rubber broom and I was like WHY WHAT WHY!?!

Now it makes sense. The scratches on the old 1940's doors are from pets.

You hope

"Pets" could refer to so many possibilities.

It's also very good for removing human hair as well

I could use a FU Remover. I'm surrounded by profanity!

Thanks! Two long hair cats and hardwood floors. I’m too cheap to buy a monster vacuum for a few area rugs, but boy do they need something like this when they shed each year!

It’s a rubber broom! It works great on both carpet and hard floors.

It's just a rubber broom. This post feels like an ad. These have existed for at least a decade.

u/BenignPharmacology 7h ago

One of those cases where idc if it is an ad, I want one. Also it would be a weird ad since nobody has linked to an actual product (not that I’m asking)

u/EfficientTitle9779 6h ago

It’s definitely an ad you can tell the fur has just been placed on top of the carpet in a large amount so it looks like it works very well.

Most of these type of posts are ads. You'll usally see OPs alt account commenting something like "Through some internet sleuthing I found the link". At best it's an affiliate link, at worst it's a scam or even phising attempt. Since there is no link, I'm assuming it was one of the bad ones and it was blocked/removed.

Also note: You can achieve almost the same with a rubber squeegee.

Both the account that asked and the one that replied are private accounts with genric usernames. This is definitely an ad

u/Isle_of_Tortuga 2h ago

I can't tell if it is an ad for the broom or the carpet that seemingly does a great job of hiding filth.

u/enigmamonkey 7h ago

It does seem like an ad, I suspected as much too... sadly an effective one since now I'm wanting one of these, too. 😖

When my rubber broom broke because of using too much force I helped myself with (old) Crocs. Rubber ist the ultimate hair removal tool from every fabric.

A dry sponge will remove fur from fabric.

u/LinkInterred5309 2h ago

Ah, so this post is an ad.

One I have is basically a fine wire wide flat dog brush on a stick. Came from Amazon. It was cheap (both in price and quality) but I've had it probably 15 years.

I have something similar from Uproot Clean and they work like a dream!!! About one a month a do run the large broom sized version over all the spots where the dogs lays around and I always get fist fulls of hair up. Then I run the vacuum to remove everything the uproot pulls up.

The little versions are perfect for furniture or the car. It’s basically a miracle for cleaning up the car.

I LOVE these things, I have the small ones strategically placed throughout the house. They're so inexpensive and work SO well.

u/Etnevel10 7h ago

We have one of those, they are not that good. :/

Congratulations, this advertisement disguised as a post was effective for you. Enjoy your new item delivered to you by Amazon.

I use a simple 2€ squeegee to similar effect of you don't want to buy a rubber broom. Works pretty great.

u/sarkzar 4h ago

I prefer carpet rakes in the style of the Uproot Clean. I went with that style because I hate cleaning hair out of rubber bristles, idk it just grosses me out for some reason.

u/bwyer 2h ago

Just get a robot vacuum.

u/tattooedcracker 2h ago

They sell these at the dollar tree. It’s about $3 in total for the head and handle and works just as well as the $30 ones online.
