Question for Pet Owners

[CatsandCars]

What brand of pet hair remover roller would you recommend?

My life is furry, and the rollers I have leave a lot to be desired! 🐈‍⬛️🐈

[falalalala]

We vacuum a lot and use the cheapo rollers or I weep until it blurs my sight.🤣🤣🤣

[CatsandCars in reply to falalalala]

That's impressive! 🤣🤣

[falalalala in reply to CatsandCars]

My hub decided to brush the dog inside.😜

I used to vacuum the dog but it doen't get the hair the way a brush does.

[CatsandCars in reply to falalalala]

My grandma used to vacuum my mom's cat when she came over. I was forbidden from telling my mom! 😁

I can just imagine seeing someone vacuuming a dog! A brush might work better, but vacuuming makes a better story. 😁

I hate to admit it, but I probably would have quit before amassing that huge pile! I used to have collies, and I used to think it was impossible to get all the hair out. (Yet, somehow the groomer managed.) Your husband is a straight-up American hero. 🤣🤣

[falalalala in reply to CatsandCars]

😂😂

I love collies!

The vacuum has a dog brush attachment. I'm sure it got some hair but not the undercoat.

The cats like to be brushed and throw themselves on their backs for it, especially Norm.😆

[CatsandCars in reply to falalalala]

Aw. My cats areokay with it but don't show enthusiasm. Maybe my husband needs to do it! 😁

[falalalala in reply to CatsandCars]

My son has a vacuum cleaner that has attachments specifically for pet hair. Have you tried that? He and his wife have 3 dogs and 2 of them are German Shepards. Those two are shedding machines.

[CatsandCars]

Thanks, Peruzzot, that's not a bad idea for when the vacuum we have conks out. It should be lightweight, too, when I get around to it. Hmm, maybe I should accidentally break the aforementioned vacuum cleaner to facilitate that! 🤣

My most urgent need, though is a decent quality lint roller for my clothes. I live with cat hair all over me, then I try to make myself presentable on my way out the door. I have a cat that reminds me of Pigpen in the old Peanuts comic strip, except instead of dirt, he exists in a cloud of fur! 😊

Uproot Cleaner Pro (the one with the handle in the pic) works amazing. I have not tried the Mini, which is the card shaped one, I promptly lost it 😅But my teens used it and said it worked great (it is for clothes, the Pro is for everything else). When I was feeling better, I used the Pro on the carpet, next to the wall, where the vacuum hose is 'supposed' to get. Wow. So much hair. Works great on coats and furniture too. Only problem is that you have to have the energy to use your arm enough to use it! Not too much pressure or anything, it's just more energy than I have nowadays! But it works amazingly well! I got it off Amazon. Just search Uproot Pro.

I absolutely LOVE my UPROOT tools and I can’t imagine my life now without them. I have one in my car and my house. They are not expensive and they are, as my daughter says, “life changing “ . When she first told me about it, I thought she was being a bit over the top about the description, but it really is amazing.

[CatsandCars in reply to Amore55]

Wow. two ringing endorsements! Thanks, Kelly. 😊

[CatsandCars in reply to MSFlea]

Thanks so much! I will check that out. 👍

[bxrmom in reply to MSFlea]

I purchased something similar to this on Amazon and it works great! I orginally purchased it for the cat tower that our cat, Reeses, likes to sleep on as she sheds like crazy when she lays on it.

[CatsandCars in reply to bxrmom]

Those cat trees get a pretty good layer on there, and it works its way into the carpet. I normally use a cat brush, but this might be easier on the carpet. I'll be giving it a try. 😁

[bxrmom in reply to CatsandCars]

I was amazed how easy it was to get the hair to come up off the cat tree

[mrsmike9 in reply to MSFlea]

I got a long handled one of these for our rug! I used to use the dog brush on it (on my knees). This is much better. (My older son broke the part of my vacuum where the carpet head attaches...)

[CatsandCars in reply to mrsmike9]

Thanks, mrsmike9. I have quite a hard time getting up off the floor, so I'll keep that in mind. 😚

[MSFlea in reply to mrsmike9]

I didn't know they had long handled ones!! I'll have to look into that! Thanks!

[mrsmike9 in reply to MSFlea]

They're called "carpet rakes for pet hair removal."

[MSFlea in reply to mrsmike9]

Thanks! Found it! Added to my wish list! 😀

[Xvettech]

wow! Those are great suggestions! I hope you find what works for you! Personally, I have enough to worry about with MS. I no longer care about the fur from my fur baby! But when I did worry I just used a rolly thing that had “tape” on it. I’ve always had fur babies, some furryer than others. So I think I’ve always had fur on me! It don’t bother me, they are my babies and I love them. If it bothers others than I don’t wanna be friends with them anyway. lol. Isuppose ive always had an attitude, but ever since this MS kicked in my IDGAF has gotten way worse! I think good-if they don’t like the fur they can stay away!

[CatsandCars in reply to Xvettech]

I suffer from that where cleaning is concerned! It takes so much energy, and I don't have any. We have hardwood floors and some very small rugs, so sometimes Roomba is the only one doing the cleaning where floors are concerned! I enjoy Swiffering once in a while, if the moon is in the right phase.

I wear a lot of dark colors, though, and I admit that I don't like being covered in pet hair. At home, a little is fine. When I go to an appointment, I like to try to do better. But half the time, it's so much work to get ready that I forget until I'm sitting in the car. Then I look down in dismay, and realize that I've forgotten again! I keep saying I want black cats, but my husband wants "a little variety". Variety's name is Teddy, and I adore him, but holy crap, the fur! 🤣

[Xvettech in reply to CatsandCars]

[CatsandCars in reply to Xvettech]

You know what I'm talking about!

[Xvettech in reply to CatsandCars]

[twooldcrows]

we all love our fur babies and ha if it doesn't wipe off then i guess it is riding with me hahahahahaha,....yes i don't like it if i am going to the store and the doctors office so i don't get dressed until i am ready to leave ...ahahaha...all have a wonderful day with all of your fur babies...we just love them don't we ...hahahaha.........loves all

[CatsandCars in reply to twooldcrows]

Thanks, twooldcrows! That's not a bad idea. Although my clothes come out of the laundry with some hair on them, it's still better than after I've worn them! 🤣

And yes, we sure do love our fur babies! ❤️

[BettysMom]

I use the Scotch Brite rollers. They work well for me.

[CatsandCars in reply to BettysMom]

Thanks, BettysMom. I've seen them on Amazon, and I will put one in my cart so I don't forget which kind to get! 😊
