So every day I seem to use a pet hair roller on and off all day long in my house. I even have one in my car. I have white dogs too and always seem to have hair on me. I use the roller when I make the bed in the morning (cats sleep on bed), I use it on my furniture, cat beds and cat furniture. I buy the bulk set of Scotch rollers at Costco. I must go through a roll a couple of times a week.

Does anyone else use Pet Hair Tape Rollers as much as I do?? :wavey:

I gave up using rollers, lol. I use them too much!

Pledge came out with a really good pet hair removal.. it's now reusable and works great on my part

I agree they get used up way too fast. My husband bought a little hand-held vacuum specifically for pet hair and it works great! He vacuums the sofas once a week and also the pads on the cat tower, that really keeps things under control. (He also vacuums the carpets.) We use the sticky rollers for small things, or clothes if there's hair to remove and we don't want to get the vacuum out.

We have it pretty easy, though, our cats don't shed much since it's always chilly here.

Yep - this time of year there is not as much shedding!!! :clap: Good idea on the handheld vacuum. I have a couple of Dustbusters for use by the cat pans. But a hand held vacuum with brushes would be very convenient to have. HMMMMMMM - great Christmas gift idea :santa: STILL - I couldn't do without my Scotch pet rollers. :lol3: What a great invention. I always say.... "WHY didn't I think of that way back when" :rolleyes:

Where my cats are
I think DH is the only one who uses them here!  The cats don't go in our bedroom so that helps.  I will use it on furniture if I see it built up; but I've found vacuuming it off just as effective.

Over the river and through the woods...
I've given up on the "war on pet fur" and just started naming the clumbs of fur all over the place 
 Just kidding...well...kinda. I usually only worry about hair on my clothes if I'm in good clothes (jeans and sweatshirt, my usual attire, I couldn't care less about). The vacuum gets everything else around the house.

My mom used to have an actual lint brush that had some kind of fabric on it that gathered hair, fur and whatever else off your clothes. She had it for as long as I can remember and it still worked great. In fact, I use it when I was getting dressed for her funeral so it lasted at least 34 years. I wish I had kept it but it got lost in the shuffle of cleaning out her house. I don't even know if they still make them like that anymore.

We have that and really like it. And thank goodness for our Dyson. I also wash all the cat linens and such once a week.

We have the rollers, too, for clothing. I have a pet roller in my car, in the glove compartment (my sister is driving Hannah, the Tucson, right now as she blew the radiator in her Beemer. She would have taken Clarence, the Cruiser, but she's not sure of herself enough for a manual tranny. Anyway, she got into the glove compartment yesterday to go to lunch and found the pet roller; she was a little surprised, but I just said, "Doesn't everybody carry a pet roller in their car???") Although I've gotten to the point where once I'm dressed for work, I just go to work. I don't sit down anywhere, I don't walk around the house. I'm dressed and I go!

My boss told me one time that he knows we have seven cats (now eight). But he never sees a pet hair on my clothing. (Our old boss had three dogs and he used to come into work smelling like dog and with dog hair all over everything. It was rather disgusting and nobody wanted to sit next to him at meetings; that man shed dog hair. I think that's why I try to be so careful....I remember how bad he was.)
