When you have a pet in your home, animal hair gets everywhere. It clings on your clothes and lingers on your furniture. But you love embracing your best buddy with those homey hugs the second you walk in the door.
At Snuggle®, we’re dedicated to creating more cozy moments in the home, starting in the laundry room. With that in mind, here are a few tips and hacks on how to remove pet hair from your laundry.
A series of technological innovations improved the efficiency of washing machines over the years. They can do much more than simply clean laundry. Now, the washer is a loyal ally in the battle against pet hair.
New machines have a special setting dedicated to removing pet hair. For older machines, the delicate setting will work to help remove pet hair from your laundry. Select the correct setting and wash your clothes how you usually would.
We recommend enhancing this hack using Snuggle® SuperFresh® fabric conditioner to help eliminate pet odor in the wash cycle. Be sure to check your garment’s care label before washing.
Your dryer is another tool in the struggle against pet hair. This one is simple. Place your clothes inside and start the cycle. That’s all. As your clothes dry, the air circulation will capture pet hair and suck the hair out of the drum.
Throw in a Snuggle® SuperFresh® dryer sheet(s) to reduce the static cling on your laundry and help prevent the hair from collecting on your clothes in the future.
Be sure to clean your dryer if you use it for pet hair removal. You can vacuum the drum or wipe it down with a microfiber cloth. To save some time, you can also vacuum the lint trap.
When you master removing pet hair from your clothes, you can focus on preventing it from sticking in the first place.
- Brush your pet’s hair regularly to manage shedding.
- Purchase a special microfiber brush to clean and remove pet hair from couches, carpets, and other upholstery.
- Keep a lint roller handy.
- Use a vacuum.
- Use a rubber glove and get it wet, then move your hand in a circular motion to lift the pet hair from the surface.
You can go the conventional route of removing pet hair in the washer and dryer or try one of our alternative hacks. Whatever you choose, Snuggle® products are here to help keep your home cozy and smelling fresh!
