They did a test in Consumer's Report on the Pledge thing and they said you can pop out one of the rollers and empty it out and put the roller back in and use again. Just a nice hint. Dolores

I vacuum quilts that have pet hair on them. The small brush attachment works great. I bought a good hand held vacuum to keep in my sewing room.

I have a rubber bristled hand brush which works very well on upholstery and the quilt that my cats and I are in dispute over ownership. Doesn't do too well on clothes though.

I have three Pekes and a lot of hair. I found at WalMart a Scotch Fur Fighter which I have found works much better than the rollers.

Did you put a softener sheet in the dryer when you fluffed it? I find that gets it so much better than just running it thru the dryer.

Get a spray bottle, fill it half full with downey fabric softener, and then fill to the top with water. Spray a light mist, vacuum, and poof. Works like a charm

You can find those sticky rollers really cheap at times. Lots of times target has them in the dollar bins. I also bought some last week at rite aid for a dollar last week.

I do have the sticky rollers if I have to resort to that and use bunches and bunches of sheets. Any other suggestions?

I have made myself a quilt block that says "No quilt is complete without a few pet hairs" with paw prints circling the words.

:D Someday I will include that in a quilt. As for removing pet hair, you might try a vacuum, followed by sticky roller.

Sometimes I wrap packing tape around my hand and just dab at things that way. The packing tape picks up the hair. When it gets too much and stops sticking, I rotate it around and use the other side (back of my hand). If there is a lot of hair, you might have to keep using more tape.
