This really helps cut down on lint and pet hair on clothes! Get some "netting" at a sewing shop, I found mine in the wedding section. Cut it into 6x6 inch squares, and toss one in the washer and a fresh one in the dryer, and bingo... it catches pet hair and lint

I tried this with the coarser nylon net....and it didn't work for me. I put one in the washer and a different one in the dryer, and came out with NO hair any of the times...and believe me, our pup sheds (a lot!) I tried it on several loads, and a few loads I couldn't even find the piece of net when I was finished (I just hope it isn't on the back of one of my tops next time I want to wear one, and I don't know it! yikes!) lol

When we were shopping for dryers, the salesman told us to look for a dryer with a stainless steel drum as that cuts down on the static in your laundry. (We have a golden retriever/samoyed and her hair is on everything. When we replace our dryer, it will be with one that has the ss drum.)
But I do plan on trying this hint with the nylon net. (Nylon net is the more coarse net, and the finer net is tulle for weddings and such.)

Would a shower "scrubby" work?

I use a "Magic Brush" for the larger amounts of pet hair, and "Lint Roller" for the lesser amounts, then finally, masking tape for the least. The Magic Brush is a stiff velour which works to pick up rubbing one way, then rub the other way to remove the lint/hair layer! I've recently lost mine and need to get another somehow, Lord? (He always provides for my needs and a few of my "wants") If I have any nylon netting in my sewing closet/shelves, I'll try it ! God bless you. : )
