I have one fur baby who shed a lot. Hair flies no matter how hard you try to keep it picked up. Before you give the quilt to whomever lightly wash in dye and fragrant free detergent (cold water works fine) then use dye and fragrant free dryer sheets. Immediately put into a clear plastic bag. I purchased the large storage bags like you use the vacuum on. You can also purchase Ziploc large storage at 4 per package. These are great. I have saved the zippered clear bags from when I purchased blankets years ago and have used them for storing Not sure if they make clear waste bags but if not in the grocery you can check office supply stores.
