Any tips on what would remove cat hair from clothing and blankets once they're in washer and dryer?

Answer 1

Put the clothing/blankets in the dryer on a cool/no heat setting and just tumble them for 10 minutes. The vacuum effect can suck a lot of loose hairs off the dry fabric without the need to wash them. This may not work as well for bulky items like blankets since they dont tumble around as much but it will help

Answer 2

Ummm...here is a small idea, but it could be quite time consuming... Buy a thick and wide roll of tape (any tape) or use the rolling thing that is sticky to take off pet hair (it's at any stores for about $1 each or so. Anytime you take off a piece of clothing, use the tape or whatever, and tape a bit or roll a bit at a time. The sticky part of the tape will pick up the hair. Then wash it. Another way, is using a blown up balloon. Rub the balloon, so it will produce static. Static will also take off the hair.

Since I have 2 long hair cats I come across this problem alot myself. There are a few things that you can try....
1. Buy one of those lint rollers they anywhere from $1.99-5.99
2. Grab a roll of duct tape, wrap around your hand sticky side facing out of course.
3. SQUEEGEE- it may sound strange but this is the best thing I have found so far. Just like washing your windshield, do the same with your clothes, furniture etc. You'll be amazed how much hair is collected from with it.

Answer 4

You might want to try Vinegar - say 1/4 cup per full load. Works similar to Cling free sheet in dryer, but maybe in washer it'll lift off the hair. It's worth a shot - won't harm your wash

Answer 5

Really good dryer sheets... (Bounce, Snuggle, etc.).... but use 2 or 3 of them so the anti-static properties will help pull the hair out of the material. May need to run through the dryer twice.
