It's nigh on impossible to get rid of it all, I had my Tourer for 7 years & even last week when prepping it for the new owner I was still getting durg hair out of the boot trims, I've never had a dog in there, it's all from the previous owner................well I mean his dog

The door lock button on the centre console packed in. I popped the cover off en route to getting at the switch, there was a solid mat of white hair under it. The gearbox tunnel under the console is covered with hair as well.

Hoover what you can, then spray with an all purpose cleaner, scrub with a brush to bring most of the hair to the surface, then Hoover, repeat if needed

I'll give that a go when I next vacuum the back out. (Probably next week)

One of the older tricks was one of these, they worked a treat, but can wear out over prolonged usage. Any valeter worth his salt has one or two of these !

Try and find a boot liner to go over the carpet and maybe give the dog a good brush before putting him/her in the car to cut down on the shedding of lose hair ....

Same item, but a bit cheaper if you don't mind the wait for the slow boat.

Hmm, woof runs away from the hoover, and if I tried shaving her, the wife would push the hoover somewhere you really don't want a hoover
