FURZAPPER 2-PACK- Pet Hair Remover For Laundry

Product Information

You may opt to use the dryer again but this second time around on a normal setting. Note: Always clean the lint trap after each use. As a certified animal behavior consultant, I write about pets for a living. And as a pet owner, I know the struggles of excess fur (which is why I always keep a lint roller on hand for pet hair removal). Two years ago, I started testing the FurZapper—and today, because fall shedding season increases the amount of pet hair I find all over me, I still use this laundry tool to fight the furry blizzard. After lint rolling your laundry, place laundry in the dryer. Throw in a dryer sheet or two. These sheets contain anti-static properties that will help repel pet hair and collect in your dryer’s lint trap. Most other products, like lint rollers for pet hair, pet hair removers and fabric scrapers that de-pill sweaters and remove fur from clothes, require a lot of work. Brushing and combing your clothes takes time and, if you’re like me, you have better things to do. Due to the unique shape, proprietary RSX™ material, and soft texture, FurBall® prevents damage to clothing, while removing pet fur, reducing wrinkles, and neutralizing static in your laundry.

To make sure my FurZapper review would be as thorough as possible, during the first few months of testing, I included hair-covered pet blankets, lap throws we use daily and even my fur-covered winter coat.

If you don’t want all your wash to come out covered in lint and hair, you *need* lint traps — yes, I mean multiple lint traps,” the reviewer suggested. “It’s like night and day, really.” Five-star reviewer, T Poisson, says, “I have a very big dog—140 pounds worth of furry. He has a fuzzy undercoat that is incredible, but it gets everywhere. I use both of the FurZappers in the load. I put them in the washer and the dryer. For those loads with a lot of fuzz on them, I put the load in the dryer with the FurZappers before I wash to remove some of the excess. Then I wash the load with both FurZappers and then put them in the dryer. It beats trying to use a lint brush on your laundry before you wash.”

Before washing, run clothes or bedding through a 10-minute, no-heat dryer cycle. This will loosen the pet hair, which winds up in the lint trap.
