How to remove Pet Hair?
If you have ever battled pet hair in cars (especially in Hondas with their repurposed velcro backing material pretending to be carpet), you know how relentless it can be. Over time, I’ve developed a whole set of tips and tricks to deal with it. One of my favorites is the Tornador (Z-014); I also have the Rag Company Ultra Air Blaster as a backup. I’ve found that pairing these air tools with a very light mist of rinseless wash or certain interior cleaners, such as DIY Detail Clean and Protect, Detail.co Sword, or even a homemade mix of fabric softener and distilled water (10:1 ratio) is super effective.
(Extremely light mist of the carpets and upholstery, then letting it dry.) This loosens up carpet and upholstery fibers, as well as eliminates static, making removal 10 times easier.
That said, when it comes to serious, stubborn pet hair, the Buff Brite Fur-eel has been one of the best tools I’ve found. It really works wonders.
Today, I spotted a new tool from Buff Brite called the Fur-nado. This caught my attention because it appears to be an upgrade to the current setup. The Fur-nado features a heat-tempered cone designed to replace the factory trumpet on the Tornador Mini (Z-007). This lets you attach the Fur-eel directly to the Mini, and it looks like it could make removing pet hair even more efficient.
Here’s my situation: I haven’t bothered with the Tornador Mini up to this point because my regular Tornador has always done the job. I usually don’t rush to buy new tools unless there’s a clear benefit. But after seeing this combo, I’m genuinely interested. My experience with the Fur-eel alone has been great, so adding it to the Mini could take things to another level.
I’ve decided to order the Tornador Mini and the Fur-nado setup. I’ll be testing it out and will post a full review in the next couple of weeks after giving it a good workout.
While I wait for my order to arrive, I’d love to hear from anyone who already has this setup. Does the Fur-nado live up to the hype? Is it worth upgrading from the regular Tornador to the Mini for this new attachment? Please share your experiences, or tell us about your toughest pet hair cleaning jobs!
Stay tuned for my review, and as always, thanks for reading!
