What sofa covers don't attract dog hair?

Dealing with constant shedding is part of life with a dog — but it doesn’t have to ruin your sofa. Certain fabrics naturally repel hair or make it easy to clean up. Here’s what to look for:

1. Microfiber

Why It Works:

  • Tight weave leaves fewer places for hair to snag.

  • Static can occasionally attract hair, but a light vacuum or lint roller solves that quickly.

  • Often machine washable.

Sofa Decor Suggestion:

2. Velvet

Why It Works:

  • Smooth surface allows most hair to be easily brushed or shaken off.

  • Adds a luxurious look without trapping fur in the weave.

Sofa Decor Suggestion:

3. Polyester & Blends

Why It Works:

  • Synthetic fibres typically resist clinging fur more than natural fibres.

  • Easy to spot-clean or toss in the washing machine.

Sofa Decor Suggestion:

4. Leather-Like or Faux Leather Materials

Why It Works:

  • Non-porous surface means hair can be wiped away with a damp cloth.

  • Perfect for a sleek, modern aesthetic if you like the leather look.

Note: While Sofa Decor doesn’t currently stock leather slipcovers, keep an eye on the New Arrivals section for updates.

Pro Tips for Pet Owners

  1. Brush Your Dog Regularly: Fewer loose hairs equals a cleaner sofa.

  2. Keep a Lint Roller Handy: Simple, effective, and budget-friendly.

  3. Add a Layer: Place a washable pet blanket or throw over your sofa cover in your dog’s favourite spot.
