My cat thinks she has to lay on whatever quilt I am hand sewing the binding on. After I am finished, I hang it in my large doorway and vacuum it like crazy. Have also used Pledge's Fabria Sweeper for Pet Hair.

Tissue paper patterns get MY cats all worked up. I try to unfold them quietly, but they are both there, ready to SHRED!!!

I've also found it to be effective on cigarette smoke odor as well. It's cheap and found in the laundry soap aisle. It doesn't leave any odor at all including the cheap perfume scent found in so many laundry products that make me sneeze and would offend me even without the sneeze.

I use those sticky sheet rollers & it gets the cat hair and lint off my quilts.

Oh, yeah, the tissue paper patterns. I dont even TRY to use them anymore unless I put kitties in the basement while I use them!

My quilts are all given to family members and they all have cats and dogs so I don't worry. The RRs that enter my home are kept in plastic bags til I work on them. All my fabric is washed right before using and I keep the cats locked up til I'm done.

Whoever came up with the idea that heavily perfumed products equate freshness..... I have to have everything fragrance free or I have asthma problems. I totally agree about perfumes and the ppl who bathe in it. |
