the painter's tape trick works great. It can even pull hair shafts from flannels and fleece. the dryer works too bbut the tape doesn't use any electricity...

I use a yellow rubber glove.(put it on your hand) I just hold the material, chair, bedspread, etc taught and keep pulling the cat hair towards me. It piles up and I through it away. My cat sits on the same chair and at this time of year the chair becomes a fur chair.

I have a suggestion that really works for me...use the latex gloves like you use washing dishes etc...spritz them lightly with water and then rub them firmly across the area w/cat-hair..works good on furniture..you could also use the disposable latex surgical gloves..(they make these in (non-latex) as well
