  • Stiff bristled brush/one with metal bristles or a a comb might work to brush it out, or blu-tack?

  • Try a thick sewing needle (one with a blunt end that's used for needlepoint) and take it between the bristles, row by row. You may need to be patient and repeat a couple of times.

    There's a link somewhere to the velcro site...

    .. but what it says there is that THE best thing for cleaning velcro is...


    VELCRO

    Honest. :)

    Use some of the hook side to grab fluff off the soft side. The hook bits are easy enough to clean with a brush.
