I've tried corduroy, denim, sheets, and others such as an oil cloth and it doesn't matter. Just give it a shake on a daily basis and wash once a week. I've used fabric softener sheets (unscented) others make them sneeze. Still use the dryer sheets. It's about the only thing you can do. My dogs of course are much hairier than yours. I have to Swiffer the house 2-3 times a day. Every other day I have to vacuum and mop 2xs a week. I get tired and when I look behind me there's more hair. Next time if there is another dog it is going to be one of those bald one's or a poodle.
