Start with the easy fixes
Brush pets often, vacuum the floor edges, change HVAC filters, and wipe baseboards with a lightly damp microfiber cloth. Do not leave oily polish, wax, or silicone on painted trim because residue can hold more grime.
Why dryer sheets come up
Dryer sheets are often suggested because they can temporarily reduce static. They can help for a quick wipe, but the effect wears off and the surface may still collect hair again.
When repainting makes sense
If the baseboards are flat, chalky, rough, or old, repainting with a smoother trim finish can make them easier to clean. This is also the moment to add RepelX, because it has to be stirred into the paint first.
Where RepelX fits
RepelX is an anti-static paint additive for interior water-based latex and acrylic paints that it has been tested with. Use 1 fl oz per 1 US gallon of paint to help the finished surface hold less dust, lint, and light pet hair from static.
Set the expectation
RepelX does not replace vacuuming, air filtration, grooming, or normal cleaning. It only helps with the static part of the problem, so painted baseboards, trim, doors, and walls are less likely to grab fine particles between cleanings.

Quick Questions
Why does pet hair stick to my baseboards?
Pet hair can stick because of static, dry air, airflow, surface texture, and residue from cleaners.
Can I treat painted baseboards so hair does not stick as much?
Yes. Clean them well, avoid oily coatings, use smoother trim paint when repainting, and consider RepelX in compatible interior paint.
Can I wipe RepelX onto existing paint?
No. RepelX is mixed into compatible paint before the surface is painted.
