        I picked this up recently and it works really well. I use it on my clothes, furniture, the bed, even the dog bed.

          Lint rollers all day. We lost both of our elderly cats this year, but we used to keep lint rollers in every room of the house and in our cars. Not all lint rollers are created equally though. I wish I could recommend a brand, but the one I liked changed their product and it sucks now.

            @seawolf nothing like buying a value pack of an off brand lint roller only to find out they suck and now you have 10 of them. Been there before. Like you said, not all are created equally. 😂

              yea lint rollers for sure. When we had two cats, my wife worked in a salon (wore black all day everyday) and I was a touring musician (mostly wore black and gray all the time). We just got used to having them in the car, the dressing room, at work, by the front door, etc.

              I used to buy the bulk packs of the heavy duty Scotch Brite ones to have around the house. I also used this one with great results as a reusable option.

                Those Black and Decker thingies like @Matt suggested work wonders. I used to use lint rollers on my couch to get rid of the copious if not downright excessive amounts of hair my cat layers on it. The B&D really cut down on a lot of cost, plus it’s easier to use.

                I still use lint rollers on my clothes, and I’ve found the best ones are these super sticky Evercare ones. Well worth it.

                EDIT the url was a hideous amount of link gore, so best to just look up Evercare lint roller on Amazon, should do the trick.

                  My mom taught me a handy trick for getting the massive amount of dog hair I accumulate off the seats and floor carpet of my truck. Simply take a wet hand towel and rub in the same direction. It collects all the hair super easy into a disgusting pill of hair. Then just pick it up and toss into the trash. Works 1000x better than trying to vacuum it up. (Note: this trick is for excessive hair build up from having the hound in the ride for weeks to months on end)

                  In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                    @derek111 Exactly!

                    This thread is so validating. I knew I wasn't alone with the lint rollers, but it's not something that's discussed very often around here.

                    Some of my shirts in particular were especially difficult to deal with. I have a flannel that loved to attract cat hair on the inside, and that was really frustrating. Or, the lining of a leather jacket. Annoying! I miss my cats so much, but I'm getting hours of my life back every month to lint rolling. I'm also looking forward to getting new cats someday 😁

                      I loved our cats, but when we finally decided to adopt a new pet last year, we went with a hypoallergenic pup that doesn't shed. Forgot about all of it until reading this thread.

                        @popvulture I never thought I would be influenced on this forum to pick up a black and decker lint roller, but @Matt and yourself should be getting royalty cheques in the mail. Damn you Jeff Bezos and your next day delivery. I will report back with my findings on the hair of two vizsla dogs who have taken over our tiny bungalow.

                          Just a simple back and forth motion grabs the hair and releases it into the collector compartment. You’ll be seriously astounded at what you find in there. Like copious quantities of hair and lint u didn’t even know were there.

                            Yeah I found a whole other cat in there. He’s part of the family now.
