Well, I try not to wear clothes that attract pet hair in the house - always wear sweats or jeans. You can try wrapping tape around your hand and pulling off as much as possible before washing the clothes. The hairs weave into the fabric and is nearly impossible to get off.

One of the big downsides to pets. And the drycleaner charge more if you bring in hair covered clothes!

We've got the same problem. I'm thinking of having Daisy shelacked.

Other than that, you're pretty much stuck with the tape method. It's worse in the truck. It gets stuck in the threads, and the vacuum won't even pull it out.

Nudity saves on laundry and keeps clothes hairless!

I always use a lint brush (for pets) I buy mine at Wal Mart before I throw them in the basket. Or at least the ones that have hair on them bad. Meater sheds bad and they are all white hairs but Chino does not seem to shed yet anyway. LOL

At costco we buy in bulk the clothes rollers that are tape sided. they work great for getting the hair off. kind of like this

Are you using a 'bounce' type sheet in the laundry?

I think some types of hair stick worse - the shorter denser coarser hair is harder to get off than the silky long hair.

I just treat it like a fashion statement!

Can't resist telling this story. A couple friends of ours retired, sold their home and moved onto a 42' sailboat. They live on it and sail all over. No, not pet owners, so obviously it's not a perfect life. Anyhow, they came back for a visit once and a bunch of friends got together at a pizza place. Both were very tan. I commented on it and they told us that once they're out to sea, the clothes come off. That way, laundry isn't a problem!

Dental floss

BMDLover: you pick it out ??? I just tell everyone that is dental floss, not dog hair

More embarassing than any pet hair was the time our car was burgalarized and the cop came into the apt.to take the report. Schwinn, TAKE NOTE !!

As the uniformed cop is writing the report, I look over to see the cat lying on her back, CHEWING HIS GUN HOLSTER !!! I hustled him out the door before he found the teeth marks Bebe was a devil

sorry to hijack the thread guys

Yep, the fur is always everywhere. It is like it follows you everywhere you go. I open my lunch at work and what to you know dog fur. My clothes are also full of it. I have tried different laundry detergants to no avail.

It's amazing how much those short little hairs can weave themselves right in! I too have problems getting them out. Briggs is majority of darker hair, so I tend to wear darker clothes. I usually don't wear anything other then denim, sweats, or nylon/polyester/rayon pants. I have one wool pair that I don't weare simply because of all the hair!

Enjoy!

Just in case anybody want to know there is a vacuum cleaner that really does pick up dog and cat hair it is actually amazing. It is made my Dyson and I think it is called the animal it is not cheap but it has a great warranty with it. A friend of mine in Texas has 3 Mastiffs and she got one about a year ago and phoned me to tell me about her new vacuum she went on for 10 minutes about this thing.

Our romatic evening ended with me frantically MiracleBrushing his butt.

SUUUUURE it did!!! LOL sounds like a good trick to me, I must remember that one!!!


As for vacuums...I'm stuck on the Dirt Devil "Bagless Power" or whatever it's called, the one with no bags and a hepa filter...it's great!! and very powerful!! With our gang I ws going through too many bags ($$$ especially for centralvac!!! ugh) and then we moved so I just have an upright and I gotta say...pretty good!!


Other than that, let's just say that we have so much pethair I find you just kind of "give up" at a point. We also have many "hair chairs" and we know where they are and we'll just say "NOOO don't sit there!!" because His/Her Majesty has been napping there for the last three days.....LOL

....guess they have us well trained......

I give Den-Den haircuts while he sits on my lap in the living room! I use the fine slanted wire tooth brush (slicker) to just pick it up and never have a hair problem. Must be the texture thing!

Dog and cat hair removal

I have found that a washleather, well wrung out, especially one made of joined scraps is the ideal tool for removing animal hairs from clothing and furniture, bedding and carpets.Use it in a circular motion and it will be perfect for dealing with the problem and is more efficient than lint brushes or masking tape. "Frizzles" mum.

Like a chamois cloth, sylvia? I'll have to try that!

Welcome to the board, btw!

I have two cats, one is a long haired tortie,(but she suffers with never ending hair balls), her hair does not show as much as her sister's, a beige siamese. My husband uses Everyday Essentials, adhesive lint roller every morning before going to work. We get a chuckle out of it, since this is a part of being a pet owner.
