   if your not having much luck with a soft bristle, try a hard one. a damp cloth should also do the trick

   The static cloths are good, I use them to pick up my dogs fur.A slightly damp mop works too.

   A broom with rubber bristles will do the trick. It creates static that picks up the hairs and the bristles are pliable enough to bend into corners where hair may tend to accumulate.

   Not a broom.

   You may want to use a Swiffer Wet Jet or a damp mop. The best way to collect dog hair is to use something damp, as the hair will stick to it and not just fly around. Depending on how much hair there is, you may have to clean off the head of the mop frequently so it can collect more.

   They have rubber-bristled brooms especially for hair, they work great.

   I think you can find them in most Walmart type stores, or maybe like Linens & Things or Bed Bath & Beyond? They’re not that hard to find if you look around.

   Swiffer cloths do a good job getting the cat hair off my tile floors – not the wet ones, just the dry. They have a swiffer mop that you can attach the dry cloth to so you don’t have to bend over. Also, depending on what vacuum you own, you could try that – set it on it’s lowest setting (furthest away from shag carpet) if you have the option, and just take it into the room with the hardwood floor. If you can get it into a pile first that’s even better, then you can just suck up the hair with the vacuum hose. Good luck!

   Just buy a vacuum. They make them for hardwood floors too. It just sucks it up.

    First use a Swiffer Broom – the dry one – to go over to pick up hairs.
    Then use a Swiffer Wet Jet For Wood Floors to go over the floor and this will pick up any tougher hairs and clean your floor at the same time.
    These work great in combination! Using one alone is okay, but doesn’t do a good enough job.

    THE NEW RUBBER BROOMS WITH THE RUBBER APPENDAGES. GET AT WAL MART WITH ITEMS SEEN ON T.V. OR A WOOD FLOOR CLOTH MOP.

    I use a swiffer. They’re fast and easy but in a pinch, you can even use a damp paper towel. Anything damp will pick the hair right up.

    The swiffer is really good for this.

    Also, soft fabric on a wide mop (they sell them as Cuban mops sometimes) work really well.

    Good luck.
