Grandi Groom AB24 Carpet Rake 18-in Head, 54-in Handle - Lifts Pet

Our review of the Grandi Groom AB24 Carpet Rake finds it best suited to homeowners and cleaning pros who need a simple, durable hand tool to lift embedded pet hair and restore carpet pile without chemicals. The rake's 18-in head and long nylon tines are the single biggest reason to buy: they cover more area per stroke and reach deep into fibers so hair, dirt and mud are brought to the surface for easier vacuuming. It feels built for frequent use and also doubles as a turf blooming tool where blades need to be stood upright.

Key Features

• Lifts pet hair: The long nylon tines loosen and lift trapped hair and debris so vacuum extraction is more effective.
• 18-in head: The extra-wide head covers large areas quickly, reducing time spent on rooms and traffic lanes.
• Restructures pile: Reworks carpet fibers to restore the original resilient appearance and reduce visible vacuum tracks.
• Before and after use: Use a push-pull method before vacuuming to surface dirt and after vacuuming to lift pile and remove remaining hair.
• Also for artificial turf: Short strokes and the long tines bloom synthetic grass and work infill between blades for a finished look.

Who It's For

The Grandi Groom AB24 is ideal for pet owners who fight constant fur build-up and for cleaning professionals who need a reliable manual agitation tool for carpets and rugs. Its wide 18-in head makes it practical for larger rooms where covering ground quickly matters, and the long handle keeps use ergonomic for standing work.

It may not be necessary for households that never have pets or heavy foot traffic, or where an all-in-one motorized tool is preferred; someone who wants powered extraction rather than manual agitation should look elsewhere.
