    I am so tired it's untrue.
    The house & garden are both a tip.

    Does anyone have good ideas for getting cat hairs off blankets before washing? Thanks.

    One of those sticky lint roller things? That’s what I use. Or sellotape wrapped round your hand - but might be hard work on a large area 😬

    I’ve just remembered I bought a grooming glove for my cat from B&M and that removed loads of loose fur from her. I wonder if one of those would work on fabric?
