Our dog is so close to my husband. When I started nursing school I don't sleep on our bed due to my study time. Since then dog would jump and sleep there. I wanted to stop this but my dog is hard headed.

Another way to remove cat/dog hair from blankets is to get a bowl with warm water, wet your hand a little bit and start rubbing your blanket, the hair will absorb the water and it will become little hair balls. You can then pick em all and throw em away.

Using a rubber glove does work. However it really only moves the hairs around so your stuck with them at one end of the object unfortunately.

I vacuum my mattress with the fitted sheet on it, then I vacuum the top of the blanket after I make the bed, this works, and it also removes "bed bugs".
I have three kitties that sleep with me, and this works well for me.

Yes, Yes , Yes finally a perfect solution. THE RUBBER GLOVE IS THE CHAMPION OF ALL PET HAIR REMOVERS.

The best thing available is Sticky Sheets. They are big plastic sheets with a sticky backing that can clean a whole room or car in minutes. The sheets are easy to use and don't stick to themselves (like saran wrap does).

I use them on the bedskirt that my dog likes to brush against, as well as the car and the couch.

I have a white dog and a black cat so no matter what color clothes or furniture I have one or the other's hair shows up.The damp sponge works well(a large one like you use for washing the car) but doesn't always get it all.I went to the dollar store and bought a paint roller and a roll of packing tape. Wrap the packing tape around the paint roller sticky side out and roll the hair up.This works very well for fine hair that gets embedded in the fabric and it's super cheap. I store the tape on the roller handle and keep it in the closet so I can run it over my clothes just before I go out the door. Hope this helps, it's the best solution I've found.

I have a dog that sleeps with me. He sheds a great deal. I place an old sheet over the top of the bed and then use a lint remover on a roller to remove the hair. It works great.

I have the same problem. I have 2 dogs that sleep with me. I cover the bed with an old sheet, then twice a week I use a handheld vacuum and vacuum that sheet. then I take it out side and shake it real good and then wash it. I do the entire bed than way once a week. While the bed is stripped I spray it good with febreze. It's a lot of work for me but I love my doggies and wouldn't trade them for anything.

I've heard that putting on a pair of rubber gloves and then running your hands over surfaces will pick up hair and fuzzies.

I have a cat that leaves cat hair all over the place and I have found out that using a lint remover takes it all up and I get the arm exercise at the same time!!

I run my bedspread or top cover in the dryer on air-- take it out, rearrange it and repeat. Lots of hair recovered that way.
Sheets-- you could do the same before washing and drying. I haven't yet done that, but it's probably a good idea if you have lots of hair. I have two cats who get a good brushing every day-- they still shed. The vaccume has pretty good hair balls, too!

First, wash the sheets and blankets. Then always shut your bedroom door so that the cat and dog can't get into your bedroom and jump on your clean bed. Say 'no'.
