The best and easiest way to remove pet hair

We are animal lovers…and if you look closely around our house, it shows. Thankfully my photography skills aren’t stellar because then you’d see the evidence more often. :) Most frequently the messes are hair balls on the floor and actual hair on the furniture. I never think it’s too bad around here until a friend with allergies visits or I’m deep cleaning for company. (The latter I try to do if I know the former is going to happen, but sometimes there’s not enough time.) THEN I notice it – and the dog is the culprit more often than not.
We have four animals – three cats and the dog:
  
We love them to pieces!! But these sweetie heads create a lot of work. I think it’s like with kids – one or two aren’t bad, but when there’s three or four they start to take over a bit. ;)
The biggest issue is the hair, which I try to keep up with but let’s be honest – it’s usually once every month or so (if that) that I actually address it. Thankfully the cat hair is only (mostly) a problem on the floors, but the dog hair is a sneaky beast that seems to show up everywhere, usually on his “perches.”
Our little dog has little dog syndrome, and must be on the lookout most days:

Beyond the constant cushion smooshing, what you don’t see is all the dog hair that ends up everywhere, especially down the back of the seat:

It doesn't look too bad as far as pet hair goes, so I don’t do this as often as I should. As far as clean up, I’ve tried all kinds of doodads over the years. The lint rollers work OK but they don’t get everything, and I feel like I end up using a third of the roller for one cushion.
I’ve tried other brushes and and they don’t get it all either, including this one:

I got it at Bed Bath and Beyond and it’s OK, but it doesn’t get all the hair and it’s pretty rough. I wouldn’t use it on more delicate fabrics.
My favorite trick is the simplest (as usual) – I use a rubber glove: 

It works just as is, but I find it works even better when a little wet (just be sure that’s OK for your fabric). You just use your hand to wipe the hair into piles:

Look away now if dog hair grosses you out. :) I show you this because I love you:

Even Colby approves. :) It works SO much better than any contraption I’ve tried and it’s pretty much free if you have a rubber glove laying around.
What I love is that you actually use your hands – you can really grab along the edges of furniture and cushions and use your fingers to get it all. It works better than any other method I’ve tried in 20+ years of adulthood with animals.
Peanut watched me the whole time I worked on this chair, and then promptly got back up on his spot:

We pick our battles. :)
Just thought I’d share this quick tip! I use it every time I clean off the sofas or chairs – along with a vacuum at times. But this is a quicker method of getting it cleaned up. Have you tried this trick? Any others you animal lovers use?
