Best way to deal with lint/pet hair?

[popvulture]

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)

@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.

[popvulture]

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

I so very much want to make an off colour remark that will most definitely get me banned...

@goosehd go for it. You know you want to

[goosehd]

...it's very important to ensure our feline loved ones are properly groomed and loved on a continual basis.

@goosehd I applaud you for your effort. You, Sir, are truly a cunning linguist
