Recommend me your pet hair remover!

The cat is moulting and it's a nightmare!! My duvet cover is a mess! We brush her with a Zoom Groom but obviously she still sheds where she sleeps, and our bed is the one place she refuses to sleep on a blanket!

At the money we use the lint rollers that have removeable paper but costs a fortune and they don't last long before you need to buy a refill.

So recommend me your device!

Thanks!

    Brush the cat with a Furminator and maybe turn your heating down a bit.

    You can pick shed hair up with a damp rubber washing up glove apparently.

    Thanks for your reply - we have a zoom groom whih does the same as the furminator and we haven't started using our heating yet.

    It's general shedding But just really obvious on our cream

    Quickest, easiest and cheapest solution, I use for my girls fluff........a rubber glove! Just wipe briskly over the fluffy remains and they ball up so you can dispose of or, in the case of my girly, make into another kitty :)

    Furminator for the cat ... dyson for the carpets and furniture.

    Also use a lint roller as and when required ... oh and most importantly the cats are shut out of the bedrooms apart from the odd weekend morning when one will come in for a cuddle as we have a cuppa in bed :) ... All other times the bedrooms and my white linen is strictly out of bounds :p

    For removing cat hair from fabrics, either just wipe it with a damp hand or rubber glove. You'll be amazed.

    We have a couple of lint brushes. Not the sticky rollers, the red velvet type. You brush in one direction to pick up the hair, then rub your thumb the opposite way to take the hair off and bin it. I've seen them in pound shops, so cheap enough to get a few.

    I use these too, the results are amazing :)

    I use this, although mine is green, the handle has broken off, and some of the rubber bits have dropped off, but it still works a treat :)

    I got mine from Wilkinsons and it was about £1

    Yes I second those rubber brushes and also the red velvet lint rollers. I Use these thoroughly BEFORE I put things into the washing machine, otherwise the hair just gets evenly distributed over the clean washing!
    I also use one of these on furnishings, stairs, bed clothes etc.
