Getting Cat Hair off Vertical Blinds..Help!

Lovelyjoolz

Not sure if I should have put this on the Pet board or not...

I have vertical blinds in my bay window and the cats LOVE to sleep in that window because it has wide sills and sun all day. Trouble is, the cat hair sticks to the blinds. There's a tide mark, like a shadow, at cat height all the way around :rotfl:

My mum suggests rubbing the blinds in my hands with rubber gloves on to pull the fur off, but unless I do this every day it takes ages. I work full time, and don't relish the idea of doing this after dinner each night!

Does anyone know if there's an easier way?

A loop of wide tape around your hand and most should wipe off.

or shave the cats..

I gave up and deal with our furry borders once a week.

Ikea do cheap packs of lint/hair rollers which are the best we have found. Otherwise the nozzle attachment on your vacuum cleaner might do the trick (we have a dustbuster, which is good for rogue cat hair)

Lint rollers
Tape
Hoover the hair up
Damp cloth
Make the cat sleep else where!!

lol pigpen! I don't fancy my chances against Bert's claws if I tried to shave him. My arms would be shredded! It takes two of us just to cut his claws - that's a story in itself!

Will try the tape idea, I'm sure we have some parcel tape somewhere.

I've tried lint rollers before. I've always got some in the house to get the white fur off my black jeans, but the cheapies from B&M never seem up to the task of cleaning the blinds. Are Ikea's much better?

Haven't tried vaccuming them. Will try that. I foresee a rainy Saturday morning stood in the bay window hoovering my blinds. The neighbours already think I've got a screw loose!
