Reusable Dog Hair Remover Glove

No more sticky sheets. No more hair on your black jeans.

• The hair rolls up into one clump: wipe in one direction and the loose fur gathers into a ball you lift off with two fingers.
• Emptying it takes one stroke: the pad is split down the middle and the nap runs the opposite way on the far half, so wiping back lets the hair go.
• One pad does the dog, the sofa and your coat: the same surface works on fabric as it does on fur, so a car seat and a jumper get the same treatment.
• Nothing to buy again: there is no sheet to peel off and bin, so it goes back in the drawer and comes out again next week.
• Your dog thinks they are being stroked: it goes over the coat with an open palm, no pins, no teeth, no pulling.

Why one direction picks up and the other puts down

The grey face is not smooth. The fibres all lean the same way, like the pile on velvet, so pushing against the lean catches hair and pulls it into a line.

The far half of the pad leans the other way. Wipe back across it and the same fibres let go, which is how the clump ends up loose on the surface instead of buried in the cloth.

Ten minutes before someone comes round

The grey rope down the middle of the sofa cushion is the thing you see first, and a vacuum drags it around without ever picking it up.

Three passes with your hand flat and it is a ball in your palm. Then the armchair, then the seat of the car, then the front of your coat.

A hand goes where a brush does not

Plenty of dogs back off from a brush. They have felt a pin catch on a knot before and they remember it.

This is your hand with something soft on it, moving the way you already stroke your companion. The hair comes off as a side effect of something they were happy to sit through.
