Locking Bar Eglu Classic

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?

Sorry all that I can suggest is lint rollers or alternative cat sleeping areas.

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.

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 !

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

Or just be fluffy, like me, and the entire inside of the family car, so Everyone is equally plastered!!
