Ok, if there is one thing I do not like about my car it is that it has a black upholstery that is basically a lint magnet. I used to spend hours vacuuming and removing then vacuuming and removing the lint, over and over again until it was all gone. However, about a week from then it would be basically the same and all that hard work was only good for a few days. I saw a commercial from pledge and went out to buy it. It is supposed to be great for pet hair but does wonders for lint! I am so pleased with this product I recommend it to anyone who wants to get rid of any lint or hair. With just a few strokes, most of the lint goes away, a few more and it's all gone :D. The effort required for using this is minimal, and that is why I like this product.
Oh and it only costs 4.99....

Does it work on floor mats? After mine are vaccumed I always find my Gf's cat hair in them.

Yeah I did everything tonight, mats included. They look super clean. You just have to be careful not to press too hard because I noticed it's not exactly the most durable thing in the world, but it does withstand drops...

I use a swiffer duster on my dash...works great. I also have a black interior...I find your $1.99 lint roller at wallmart works very well for getting what a vacuum leaves behind.

The sticky rollers are amazing at what they will do and they are dirt cheap, give it a go. I'm NOT knocking the product mentioned, only saying that these work well for a long, long time.

Believe me I have tried those, many, many times. It either just did not get my lint out or I had to use a half of one to do an entire seat... Maybe it's because I have a black upholstery so it shows up more :/. Plus the Pledge fabric cleaner is reusable :D so that makes me happy, I don't have to deal with pealing off those layers either. I have wasted plenty of lint rollers on my car without satisfying results :(. If that's what works for you I understand, just trying to show people alternatives...

I had some swiffer samples that I used last time I cleaned my car, worked exceptionally well

I went out and bought the pledge product and it works great. The only thing I would say for the smaller area's it can't get to, use either a lint roller sheet or a small lint remover. But +1 for this product I would recommend it to anyone who has a fabric interior especially black.
