Removing Pet Hair

I have two large navy blue fleecy throws that I use to cover the sofas in my living room.
They are in good condition but no amount of washing get the pet hair out of them.
They look awful all the time - I have washed them and hung them out of blowy days, I have tumbled them.
Any ideas how to get the hair off? I am this close to putting them in the rag bag.

Oh I have tried sticky roller and clothes brush too but them dont pick enough hair. It seems to weave itself into the fabric.0

Lint brush, the one that looks like crushed velvet.
Rubber gloves - slightly damp can sometimes be better.
Depending on the fabric, sometimes a dog brush can actually work well! It's fab on some rugs and carpets but not good on looped fabrics.
Tape, either sellotape or brown tape.
A petshop I used to work in sold loads of these, though never tried them myself

I'd agree with the damp rubber gloves method - I do that on the stairs and it pulls all the hair out!0

Wrap stickytape around your hand, but sticky side out, and use that to lift the hairs off. Works on cat hair.* Rainbow baby boy born 9th August 2016 *

the damp rubber glove is good as is the sellotape.
I take mine into the garden and give them a good shake too. You could try weighting it down on the floor then hoovering it with the nozzle thing on too.Do what you love :happyhear0
