The best way to remove hair from carpets

carpetcleaning

We do have a vacuum cleaner, but unfortunately that does not do a good job.

I do not mind purchasing a new one, but I am going to be here only for the next 3 – 6 months and I would rather not buy one unless absolutely necessary.

I found the following while searching if someone had already answered

It does a partially better job than the vacuum, but does not remove most of them.

Any suggestions?

For problem areas, I tape together a square of masking tape about a foot (0.3 meters) on a side, and press that onto the carpet after a stiff brushing. The sticky will pull the hair right out. It'd be a lot of work for large areas though.
