Pet Hair Removal X3 Cargo Area
Our yellow lab is the frequent cargo area passenger, but she sheds like crazy. Any recommendations how to remove pet hair that are stuck in the cargo area carpeting (on the floor as well as the back of the seats and the sides). I tried using handheld vacuum cleaner (I got this high powered Dyson thingy) but dog hairs cling like a velcro and cant be removed.
Thanks for any recommendations in advance! |

Big 'ol lint roller might do the trick better

Shop Vac with the brush attachment - and plenty of agitation when vacuuming. Then, to get the stubborn hairs, a lint roller.
My German Shepherd rides in the X5, and it's a constant chore. -or- SERVPRO... Like it never happened...

I have a Golden Doodle which doesn't shed too much. I have ordered the universal rear seat cover and will pick it up from the dealership next week. Will give a review afterwards.

I have an American Eskimo... sheds white hair and sticks out like a sore thumb on black interior.
ordered a cargo area liner Pt# 51-47-2-164-767 and it should do the trick.

As I posted earlier I am better at preventing the hairs getting stuck to the vehicle mats than I am at removing them. Please find some photographs of my boot-liner. |

I'm on the verge of ordering a 2012 X3, and this issue has been a tough one for me. We travel with our miniature Dalmatians, and I hate the thought of dog hair everywhere in a $50K+ car. I've given up on our current vehicles, and just accepted the white "trim". No amount of vacuuming gets it all out of the fabric material used in the cargo areas.
I saw the post above about the boot buddy, and found a similar product for those of us on this side of the pond at trunk-liners.com. They don't have a product listing for 2011+ models yet, but I emailed them this morning to check on it. |

I use one of these:
