I have a 2002 Honda cr-v. The carpets, mats and especially the trunk area are full of pet hair. I tried vaccuming the places, but its proving very difficult. Any easier way to disinfect the mats and remove pet hair?

If i were you i would lay the mats out on a hard surface and run an upright vacuum over them and then spray them with a household disinfectant like lysol. For the trunk i would just wrap a little duct tape around my hand backward and use it to pick up the hair, then vacuum again and spray with the same household disinfectant that you used on the mats. good luck.

HI
I have lots of cats and the easiest thing I've found to get all the hair out of the furniture was a pet brush ... not the one with the metal bristle's but the one with the regular brush on it.. It should work on your carpets as well. I have also used a house hold latex cleaning glove it well ball up the hair.. but the brush well pull it out.
Good luck

Believe it or not, if you dampen your hands and run them over the carpet and mats several times, it will ball lots of it up for easy removal, then vacuum. Then use sheets to protect them so you don't have to go through it as often. Hair will just shake off the sheets!

Get tape That is sticky on both sides. You can find this in the carpet section of the big box stores. Put some on a small paint roller and have at it !! It works !

there are some very good suggestions here, but having a dog that sheds like crazy, I can tell you the easiest way is with a rubber brush. you can fine them in the 'as seen on tv' aisle of walmart and its called something like the super sweeper idk...anyway you take the rubber brush part off the handle (it screws right off) and wipe in a motion towards yourself. works like a charm.

Use the sticky side of sticky tape to remove the hair. It will take a while and take a bit of tape, but it works well.
