Reusable Pet Hair Remover for Laundry Washer and Dryer

You pull the black sweater out of the dryer and it's still furred. A normal wash doesn't remove pet hair so much as work it into the weave. The cycle pushes it deeper, and this catches it first.

This pet hair remover for laundry is a fish-shaped microfiber pad that goes in with the load. As it tumbles, the hair clings to the pad instead of your clothes, which is the whole reason it works.

Why it works in the drum:

• Microfiber on every side: the pad grabs hair from any angle as it tumbles, so it keeps collecting through the whole cycle
• Water passes through it: the pad doesn't block the drain or the filter, so nothing about the wash changes except what comes out
• Washer, then dryer: move it across with the wet load and it keeps catching loose hair in the heat
• Works dry too: between wash days, wipe it over the sofa, the floor or a coat and it lifts hair without water
• Rinse and go again: hair pulls off under the faucet, so there's nothing to replace and nothing to buy next month

Four places it earns its keep: in the washing machine, on the floor, on the sofa and on your clothes. The same pad does all four, so it lives on the shelf rather than in a drawer.

Dry use is the part people miss. Press it against the fabric and drag. The fibers hold the hair the way they do in the drum, so a cushion or a coat gets a quick pass without the lint roller.

How many to use? Two or three per load is the usual number, and a heavier load or a shedding season gets a couple more. Rinse them, let them air dry, and they go back in next time.

Getting the size right

One pad size in three pack sizes: 5, 10 or 20. Two or three pads cover a normal load.

A 5-pack covers everyday loads, a 10-pack covers a household that washes pet bedding, and a 20-pack is the shedding-season size.

Specifications

• Shape: Fish-shaped pad for easy handling
• Surface: Water-permeable microfiber on all sides
• Use: Washer, dryer, or dry on fabric and floors
• Pack sizes: 5, 10 or 20 pads
• Care: Rinse under running water, air dry, reuse

Safety note: Keep the pads out of reach of pets and children between washes, since a small pad shouldn't be chewed or swallowed. Check the washer filter as you normally would.

Leave chunky knits and heavily textured wool out of a load that has pads in it.

Drop a few pads in, run the cycle you always run, and the hair ends up on the pad instead of the sweater.
