# Best Pet Hair Remover for Clothes: Before You Reach for the Lint Roller

Fur on your clothes is the most visible kind of pet hair, and it is the kind you notice at the worst moment, usually in the car on the way somewhere. Here are the main options for getting it off.

Lint roller: it is fast and familiar, and it works for a quick fix on one jacket. It is less good for a full load of sweaters, and the refills add up.

Damp rubber glove: it works on some fabrics but leaves them a bit damp, which is not ideal right before you leave.

Dryer cycle with no heat: ten minutes on an air cycle can loosen hair before a wash, as long as you clean the lint trap afterward.

Reusable glove pad: a few short strokes going one way roll the hair off woven fabrics. It needs no sheets and no water, so you can use it on a coat in the hallway.

A habit before washing that helps: running a pad over hairy items before they go into the washing machine keeps a lot of fur out of the drum and off the rest of your laundry. It also helps the filter.

Fabric cautions: knits, delicates and anything with a loose weave can snag. Test on a hidden area, press gently, and stop as soon as the fabric pulls.

We like the reusable mesh pad from LoveMyPuppy for this. It is about 24 x 16 cm and has a strap so it does not slip, and it handles clothes as well as couches and car seats. It is a surface tool only, not for brushing your pet.

Keep a roller in your bag if you like, and use the pad for everything else.

Is there dog or cat hair on your clothes before work? Compare the main options, which include lint rollers, rubber gloves, dryer sheets and a reusable pet hair remover glove. There is also a step before washing that keeps fur out of the washing machine and off the rest of your laundry.
