merlina Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Not sure what forum this should be in, but thought I'd try here... Since I moved I no longer have a tumble dryer. The main downside is that my clothes/bedding etc are covered with fluff and cat hair. Tumble drying always de-fluffed what washing left behind. I don't really want to get a dryer just to de-lint everything, but I'm getting frustrated. I just washed a lovely duvet set - it seems to have as much cat hair on it as it did when it went in the machine I have assorted lint rollers/brushes etc etc, but they're really more suited to touch-ups than wholesale de-fluffing. Omleteers know everything - so any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Sorry all that I can suggest is lint rollers or alternative cat sleeping areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 No easy answer - I usually find that machine washing it makes the cat-hair gather in one place and it can then be removed. The easiest way to get cat-hair off carpets, chairs etc is a wet rubber glove rubbed backwards and forwards, which collects the cat hair up but that's not great for a large area like a duvet cover.

Yorkshire Pudding Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I use those sticky lint rollers, we stock up when we pass IKEA. Also I got a latex foam block from Pets at Home that is quite good at pulling the worst of the fluff off. Much as we love our 2 very fluffy cats, my OH sometimes gets frustrated with the fur they leave about and has threatened to shave them on more than one occasion !

merlina Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 thanks for the suggestions The problem is the 'dusty' tiny fluffy stuff as much as the cat hair I've got the sticky rollers, but it's such a pain having to roll practically everything I was hoping to hear of some genius gizmo that went in with the washing and somehow captured all the fluff! I fear I either need to stop wearing black, or buy a tumble dryer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
