went to clean a beige synthetic short  pile carpet, the lady had two cats and she didn't vacuum very much. very fine cat hair everywhere and of course it's caught in the carpet fibres. usually i find that pre-spray and brush and the hair sticks to the brush, not this time, the hair is so fine it's like cotton wool, even tried gaffer tape round the hand, no good, tried gently using a scrubbing brush over it, zilch, i know this has been talked about before but has anyone come up with any new idea? my wife has a gas bottle weed incinerator, would that be to fierce for the carpet fibres?

get yourself a good pair of trainers and do the Michael Jackson moonwalk across the carpet. that'll drag the hairs out. I run the Inverness branch of Cats Protection so I know what I'm talking about.....years of experience with many cats

Must say i did the same with a rug once and after removing the hair it looked as good as new.

Not sure what they are called but you could use a rubber broom or brush,the ones with rubber bristles much quicker than trainers

Try a pet store, I know that petsmart do an excellent rubber glove for removing pet hair from upholstery but not sure about anything for carpets, you could use the glove but it would take a while

You didnt mention if you had tried a dry pre vac?

As HQCS14 said, a rubber bristled brush.

The one I have is called a "Sweepa" but I'm sure there are other brands that are just as good.

i have a rubber brush gathering dust in the garage and so i will try that first, thanks for all the in-put, - aqua, i did try the sebo over it but that didn't pull any of it off.
