What is the best way to get cat hair out of a coat?

January 29, 2007 12:08pm CST
Our orange tabby sat on my gorgeous black coat and I can't seem to get the hair out without picking each one out individually. Short of dry cleaning are there any other ways to remove pet hair from clothing?

Lint rollers are good, but if you have to use them a lot, they can be expensive. I just wrap regular tape around my hand, sticky side out. Rub it over the fuzzy areas, and rotate it to a clean spot when you need to. I like the packing tape suggestion. Same idea but it would be faster than using regular tape. I always have packing tape on hand, so this is an idea I'll be using myself.

I think tape would work too, but I don't usually live at home anymore (this is my parent's cat) so I may just buy the sticky lint roller for when I'm home. The cat seems to sense I don't want him near my stuff, haha.

I have 5 cats who are forever shedding on my clothes. I buy lint rollers which is tape on a roller and just roll it over my clothes and it works great. Before I found the lint rollers I used tape around my fingers but it took a long time to get the hair off. Now I just roll it away.

We have a lint roller but its not the kind with the tape and its so full of hair it stopped working. I'm going to go to cvs and buy the tape kind that you can peel off. Thanks.

I have a dog and a cat, both of whom shed non-stop. I have found the best way to remove the hair from clothing is with packing tape. It also works great on the couches. Good luck!

Hi there...consider a product called the Zoom Groom which not only is for brushing cats, but works unbelievably well at lifting fur off of clothes, furniture and carpeting. The pointed brush side works fine on the pets but it's the back side the rubber when misted lightly with water magically pulls fur off in a couple sweeps. The cat Zoom Groom works fine, however the back side doesn't have enough rubber surface so the Zoom Groom for dogs brush is more effective, but still also can be used to brush cats. We use this on our exotic cats who shed buckets of fur in the spring and summer season when losing their winter coats and the fur ends up on us and everything else. After we finish grooming them we turn the brushes backwards..mist some water on them and clean up ourselves.

I usually use sticky tape. A little tedious but it gets the job done
