I again used this method when getting PUG dog hairs off vintage upholstered chairs. Worked beautifully. We originally tried the damp cloths for the quilt and the chairs. Just didn't do the job.

I use all of the following to get hair off quilt:
1. Vacuum
2. Damp cloth
3. Lint brsh
4. CLothes dryer on air. I even do this several times. Also helps get rid of loose threads and such on completed quilt and just makes it fresh.
5. Hang outside on windy day.

I like the Pledge one, too. Use it to clean my ironing board cover - muslin and lots of other things. Members on here advised us to cut a flap into the top so you could empty it and re-use. Works just great!
Pledge makes a pet fur remover that works really well. They call it the Pledge Fabric Sweeper. The downside is that it's expensive, $12 (cheaper through Amazon). But, you can empty it when it's full. Scotch also makes the Fur Fighter. I like the Pledge product better.

I made this mistake too......
I was hospitalized in January for 29 days and then spent another 2 months recuperating. During this time I inadvertently left the quilt I was working on draped over the chair in my sewing room. Well, the cats decided this was the best place in the house to sleep. Now I have 3 months worth of cat hair embedded in the quilt. The quilt is almost finished. I have about 25% to finish the hand quilting on.
My question is: Does anyone have a good way to remove a lot of cat hair from the quilt? I have tried lint brushes and masking tape, but it is taking forever. Any suggestions appreciated.

Glad you are feeling better and are wanting to finish the quilt, though! Post pics????

When I complained that there was an unusual amount of cat hair on a window seat cushion, my sister whipped of her flipflop and swish, swish, swish the cat hair was rolled up in a wad and disposed of! Get the kind of flipflops with texture on the bottom. I went right out and bought a pair--one shoe to keep upstairs, and one to keep downstairs.
