taken over by cat hair!!
| Wed, 06-23-2004 - 12:57am |
Hello all....I was hoping someone might have some ideas
My husband & I are going crazy! We love our dear Zelda more than anything in the world (she's a Turkish Van, adopted from the animal shelter) and wouldn't give her up for anything! The only complaint that we have is how much her hair has taken over EVERYTHING! I haven't had too many problems cleaning the furniture and the carpets, just the occasional stubborn hairs from her tail....no big deal. The laundry is a whole other situation though. The clothes come out of the dryer covered in it! We CAN'T get rid of it!! We buy the lint rollers that are specifically for pet hair and they do work, but it takes FOREVER! Does anyone have suggestions for this? I thought I had heard something about putting something in the dryer to help with it, but I don't remember what it was!!! TIA!!!!

Hi Valarie,
It does appear that we are all going through the shedding business.

PS...I don't actually use a brand named dryer sheet, I use the cheap brand, does that make a difference?

Absolutely, at least in my experience with them. I think Bounce even makes and extra non-static sheet. You may want to try them. From the sounds of it, it may be your only hope!

Welcome to the board Valarie! I have the same problem, but my dog seems to be worse than the cats!LOL I would try the brand name dryer sheets, the rubber gloves and daily brushings. You can also try feeding a premium cat food (if you aren't already). This might help keep some of it down also.
Good luck!
