Go to Flylady.com and check out her Rubba Scrubba.
I have a LONG haired white Persian who is a timid darling, found
in a rain storm as a baby! I do love her but when she strolls through
the house gently waving her tail, I can see a drifting cloud of white hairs
following her like thin clouds!!!! And she HATEs to be brushed, will allow
limited time with the Rubba Scrubba, which works nicely. On her AND
furniture.
