The Joseph Joseph CleanTech Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning Set is a three-piece kit designed for removing pet hair and debris from carpets, rugs, upholstered furniture and car seats without a vacuum. The set combines a 2-in-1 carpet cleaning tool with rubber blades and a brass comb, a compact 3-in-1 pet hair upholstery tool with a hook design for reaching into crevices, and a telescopic extension pole that extends from 61cm to 86cm for larger floor areas. Both tools feature non-slip grip handles for comfortable use, and the extension pole increases reach without requiring you to kneel or bend down. The brass comb is effective on carpet pile but should always be tested on a small hidden area first, as the rubber blades are the safer option for more delicate or unknown carpet types. It is a practical set for households with pets that want an alternative to tape rollers or a vacuum for fabric surfaces.

- 3-in-1 Pet Hair Upholstery Tool: A compact tool with a hook design that reaches into crevices to scrape and lift pet hair from upholstered furniture, car seats and other fabric surfaces.

What Customers Ask About This Product
When should I use the rubber blades rather than the brass comb?
Joseph Joseph recommends always testing the brass comb on an inconspicuous area of carpet before use. If you notice excessive fibres being pulled from the carpet during the test, switch to the rubber blades only for that surface. The rubber blades are the safer default for unknown or delicate carpet types, while the brass comb is better suited to tougher pile where you have confirmed it causes no damage.
How does this compare to a lint roller or vacuum for removing pet hair?
A lint roller is quick and disposable but works only on small areas and generates ongoing waste. A vacuum lifts loose hair from the surface but can struggle with hair that has worked its way into carpet pile or upholstery fibres. The rubber blades and brass comb in this set are designed specifically to dislodge embedded hair and gather it into a removable clump, which can make it more effective on deeply embedded pet hair than either a roller or a standard vacuum attachment.
Can the telescopic extension pole be used with both tools in the set?
Joseph Joseph states that the extension pole allows the tools to clean larger areas, suggesting it is designed to work with the tools in this set. The pole extends from 61cm to 86cm, which is particularly useful when using the carpet cleaning tool across a large rug or floor area without bending down. If you are unsure about compatibility with a specific tool or attachment, it is worth checking with Joseph Joseph directly before purchasing additional accessories.
What surfaces should this set not be used on?
The brass comb should not be used on any carpet or fabric without testing first, as it can pull fibres from more delicate surfaces. Both tools are designed for fabric surfaces including carpet, upholstery and car seats, and are not intended for hard floors. If you are unsure whether a surface is suitable, start with the rubber blades on a small hidden area and check for any damage before cleaning a larger section.
In our experience...
Pet hair embedded in carpet pile is a different problem from surface hair. Loose pet hair on the surface of a carpet lifts away fairly easily with a vacuum. Hair that has worked its way into the pile through foot traffic or pets lying down is much harder to remove with suction alone. A tool that physically agitates and rakes the pile, like a rubber blade or comb, addresses the embedded hair that a vacuum passes over.
Testing any new cleaning tool on a hidden area first is always worth the extra minute. This applies particularly to tools with teeth or combs that work into pile, but it is good practice for any cleaning accessory on fabric. A small test patch on the back of a cushion or under a sofa tells you how the surface responds before you commit to cleaning a visible area. Joseph Joseph specifically flags this for the brass comb, but the principle applies broadly.
Car seats are one of the harder places to remove pet hair from. The woven texture of most car upholstery grips pet hair more effectively than smooth sofa fabric, and the surface is awkward to reach with a full-size tool. A compact tool with a hook design that reaches into seat creases and crevices makes a real difference here compared to trying to vacuum the same areas with a standard attachment.
A telescopic pole transforms what a cleaning tool can do on larger rugs. Kneeling on the floor to work a carpet cleaning tool across a large rug by hand is tiring and inefficient. An extension pole that brings the tool to a standing working height means you can cover more ground without physical strain, and you get a better view of the surface you are cleaning. It is a straightforward addition that changes how usable a tool is in practice.
Rubber blades work by gathering hair into clumps rather than lifting it individually. The cleaning action of a rubber blade on carpet is different from a vacuum. The blade generates static and physical contact with the pile that causes loose and embedded hair to clump together, making it easier to lift away in one go. This is why rubber-blade tools can outperform vacuums on pet hair in upholstery and carpet even though the vacuum has more suction power.

Care & Use Instructions
Cleaning the tools: Wipe both tools and the extension pole clean with a damp cloth after use. Allow to dry before storing.
Using the brass comb: Before using the brass comb on any carpet, always test it first on a small, inconspicuous area. If excessive fibres are removed during the test, use only the rubber blades on that surface and avoid the brass comb entirely.
