Finally a way to get wookie hair out of my Starwars bed sheets.

Maybe you could have them sleep in their own bed?

This isn’t 1950’s America. We share a bed.

What, you don't like to spoon with your wookie?

That's a throw for in front of the TV, not bedsheets. But the trick works on bedsheets also. And yes my cats sleep with me because why not?

I was responding to the person with wookie hair in their Star Wars bedsheets...

So what do you do exactly, do you just rub the glove all over the item you're trying to remove fur from and it sticks?

Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 12 pts · 2y

Yup. You can also use a squeegee if it's a large surface you need to get the hair off of.

Rub in one direction with a flat palm and it pulls the hair out as you go.

nothing beats the petdom it's soft, picks up hairs and then self-cleans into it's holder. When it's full you just take the cap off the end and put the hair in the bin

Other than storing the fur inside the brush, that looks like a normal red lint brush

EssentialCoffee@midwest.social · 0 pts · 2y

You could use one of those too.

I like my chomchom, which is basically a double red lint brush on rollers with a storage spot for the fur to be easily removed after use. So you can do an entire cat tree before needing to stop to remove fur from the device.

Get a fucking chomchom like $20 changed my life with 3 dogs and 2 cats.

FinalRemix@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y

I've had Chomchom before. Fuckin' delicious, but I don't know how it helps pet hair...

We’ve got this weird brush thing that’s kind of hard to explain, and it only works on certain materials, but when it does, boy is it satisfying.

SmashingSquid@notyour.rodeo · 2 pts · 2y

I just use the brush I use on the dog. It works really good on car seats.

Pumice stones work wonders as well
