I think you should post a pic codemonkey....

On my stairs which are very steep- too steep for vacuum- I use a wooden handled doofer with a metal blade-can't find it's name- it looks like a hacksaw blade. (It was a commercial product not a home made job!!) that's pretty efficient at removing hairs.
On furniture...hopefully not many hairs, but it happens! I have a rubber bladed brush. Again it is fairly efficient.. but what a tedious job!!
Nothing much works on the sharp hairs which have wheedled their way in!:eek:
Hey, I can send you a link to my houndy girl. Would you like to see her???

Ugh..suffering here too shar pei blow their coat and look like moth eaten old coats while doing it.It also makes our lives an itchy misery as shar pei translates as sand skin and boy does it irritate you!! A lot of people develop rashes just by touching one and when she moults they're like little needles,irritatingly itchy little needles at that!


I also need a new hoover and fainted at the price of a new dyson any recommendations for a cheapo one been looking at bagless hoovers and vax's thanks

I_luv_cats

I have a Dyson digital stick which is great at sucking up hair/dust. (easy to grab n vac)

Though puss doesn't realise it's their mess. (and scatters in fright!!)

I try to brush regularly but you know what cats are like they have to be in the mood!

How cute:One contented dog! of course it is worth all that effort!

My girl is not allowed on the settee and there are barricades in place (boxes, shopping bags etc) but she is allowed upstairs on the bed. She's there now as one of her downstair beds has been dismantled and the duvets drying. She's gone off in a huff! However that doesn't mean she has rejected comfort!!!

Sadly my old boy Billy (in the picture too) was pts last month so she's feeling a bit lonely I think. Am waiting for a suitable small boy to come in for rehoming

Somewhere I saw an advert for £100 off a Dyson if you traded in your old machine - any make I think.
yes- just Googled it- up to £100.
Includes Tesco Direct or direct with Dyson..... they are still not cheap...but a thought

Awk, katiehound, both beautiful! I loved reading the info, we're currently waiting to hear have we got a place for bronze award as there is only one class of it near me and we've to wait until the last bronze people pass and it is too darn long without classes for madam! I really hope you find your perfect dog soon and post all about it, obviously!
