I brought two from my daughter's that were matted with cat hair. I shooked them out and then hung them on the clothesline for the day. What didn't come off then, I washed them and rehung them on the clothesline and I would say I got 99.4% off so I'm happy. I love animals, but, the grandkids and I have allergies and the critters should not be allowed all over the house, bedreooms should be off limits.

Thank you for all your responses. I will try your suggestions. One of the quilts was a chistmas quilt that had lots of embroidery on it (machine embroidery) and I so didn't want to watch it. Perhaps I won't have to launder with the help of your suggestions.

I use a combination of lint rollers AND rubber gloves. You know the kind you can get at the grocery store to do dishes with. I rub the quilt with my hands (inside the gloves) you'd be surprised at how much hair you can get to that way. I shake it and then lint roll it. Finally, I wash it.
If you like the idea of the rubber gloves - they work GREAT on FURNITURE TOO!!!

... would you not think it was time for it to be laundered?

The Scotch Fur Fighter picks up more hair than anything else I've ever used.
