Use This Trick to Easily Remove Hair From Your Vacuum Cleaner (or Anything Else)
I love a simple, classic hack that fixes a frustrating problem without spending a lot of money or time. They are usually quite simple and almost obvious, to the point of asking, “Why didn’t I think of that before?” Well, you didn’t. And that’s why you’re here: to learn how to easily remove hair from a vacuum cleaner’s roller brush.
I’ll get straight to the point. You will need a seam ripper, like this one:
Here’s why: When you pull on your hair and try to pull it out yourself, you can forcefully damage the bristles of your brush. If you try to cut your hair with scissors, you risk cutting off the stubble. Scissors are too big and bulky to get into such a delicate mess, and you don’t have the time or patience—or at least I know I don’t—to slowly and carefully remove the hair by hand, little by little.
Simply insert the seam ripper into your hair and run it horizontally across the brush to cut through hair, lint and other tangles. You can then remove it all in one large sheet without damaging the brush itself. You throw the hair in the trash and continue cleaning.
Other similar uses for a seam ripper
If you have a seam ripper, you can use it in a variety of similar scenarios. For example, I personally hate pulling hair and dirt from the bristles of my broom, but it is necessary for the broom to perform at its best. Before and in between deep cleaning your broom, use a seam ripper, starting at the top where the bristles join the head and working straight down to the end to cut off some of the hair and dirt without risking the integrity of the broom. bristle.
This is also convenient if you use rollers or a round brush to style your hair. I use a round brush to dry my hair and then stick it onto velcro rollers, so I know all too well how quickly these tools fill up with the hair they pull out while doing their job. What I’m not going to do is take scissors to my expensive Dyson AirWrap brush head . A seam ripper, if used carefully from one side of the trunk to the other, is much safer. The same goes for rollers and any comb. Why risk tugging and damaging the stubble when you can simply cut a section of hair and remove it?
