put on your rubber gloves, get them damp, rub the hair off, repeat. you can do he same thing with a damp rag, but you have to change out the rags, with the gloves you only need rinse the hair off.

I have a duck tolling retriever who sheds as much as a golden does. I have had great luck with those Pledge Fabric sweepers. They don't have to be disposable though. You can carefully pop them open, remove the gigantic dust bunny of dog hair, and then snap them shut again. Examine the ends of the rollers carefully. One end's diameter is larger than the other. Turn the sweeper so the fuzzy rollers are facing you and the plastic dome is down away from you. You are going to work at the smaller end of either one of the rollers. Also notice that the end of the roller is partly rounded and then there is a "slot" like opening. Turn the roller so the slot is toward you, exposed. Gently stick a smallish screwdriver into that slot and press toward the roller. It should pop free. Reach in and pull out the hair and fuzz, and then pop the roller back into position. You can do this over and over until you finally push too hard and snap the roller or the tab.

I use a rubber glove. Put your hand in the glove.Make the fabric or quilt tight and scrape the glove along the quilt with your hand using the edge and the flat part. After you have gotten most of the hair up use the rollers for what is left.

Saw an article on TV yesterday & the "home made" suggestion was a pair of rubber gloves with the outside washed in detergent then wiped across the article
Good Luck |
i have not tried this, but a friend says it works, get the "Press and Seal" that is like Saran wrap and press it down on the fabric and she ways when you remove it the pet hairs come with it
|
rubber gloves will roll the hair along into a big bunch and then you can just discard it. HOORAY !
|
I get the majority of cat hair off with a wet (well squeezed out) paper towel and then finish with the sticky roller.
|
I do not have pets, but, when I get a customer quilt that has pet hair I use scraps of batting, works pretty good to remove it. That and the lint roller...
