Hi we bought our first van this year but only just managed to get away for a week in august as I was due to go in for surgery, had great weather and a fantastic time as did blue our dog, only problem was is that he is a very hairy dog and with this in mind I bought a hard yard brush as the carpet area that needed brushing is small but found that I was brushing at least three times a day, any advice on how anyone else with a hairy dog copes would be much appreciated.

We put blankets on the floor and on the sofas, then wash them when we get home and the drier gets the hair out

Don't have this problem now as we have poodles ( don't moult) but with the Labrador we used to have, we had a runner and kept throws on seats, even though he never went on the seats, the hair would still fly everywhere, we also made sure we brushed him everyday when away to keep the shedding to a minimum.

Another vote for a runner and throws - my two don't shed much luckily but the aforementioned keeps the inside protected from the rigours of the dogs and kids.

An easy method is to use a rubber glove.

Gloves with a raised grip work better. Put the glove on and run it under the tap to make it wet then shake off excess moisture. Run your fingers over the pet hair areas in short scraping strokes. You will find that the hair is easily removed and it is easy to get into nooks and crannies .

We put laminate flooring down to make it easier but I still like to use my rubber brushes. I think I got them from Kleeneze one is full length but is telescopic so easy to store and the other is a hand brush for the upholstery. They really do work a treat.

sympathies....we have not one but 2 very hairy golden retrievers, we removed the carpets and put down a lovely new carpet runner every season, this keeps the damp dog smell out of the van, the runners cost just £10 from a bargain shop and im very happy to recycle them as awning doormats when they are past their best, then i discard. i hoover the seats every day and this keep the hairs at bay.

Buy a furminator !
They are amazing and get rid of all the loose coat. we use ours on our cats and hardly get any shedding now.
Like Murano we also have a poodle so don't have dog hair issues... but i remember i could have made a new dog everyday with what i swept up daily from our old springer

sorry titchy1 for the late reply:
we bought a tesco cheap as chips own brand 1600w cylinder bagged vac and keep it in the boot of the car and bring in out when we are hooked up to the lecky on site. does the job.
bought a new van and goin to scotchguard the seats etc before dogs use it (just spray on and let dry)
have no intention of putting covers on seats as bought van cos i liked the seat colours etc.
