Have you tried one of those things that looks like a window scraper?
It supposedly is able to pull the hair out, not just sweep it off. It
has a plastic handle with a rubber -like blade. Check your local pet

Hi,
I had collies when i was young. They surely also gives a lot of hair
everywhere.
I learned that if you damp your hand and stroke gently to the wool, it goes
off very easy.
Used to do this on all our furnitures.

Hi Tea Rose.
The skirt is full all the way round. There is not any over and underskirt.
A very small bumroll round the waist, would improve the look. Skirt would
probably be cartridge pleated to a waistband where the fullness is most from
hips to center back.

But the problem I have with our costumes is that the wool gown seems

I just saw this bit of info on TV today... The person used a rubber cleaning
glove. Once it has picked up a batch of hair she then would use a damp cloth
to wipe of the glove and begin again.

The best lint roller I've found is made of a similar kind of slightly
sticky rubber, and all you have to do to clean it is to rinse it in cold
water, when all the hair comes off -- let it dry and it's ready to use
again.
I read that as it referring to the 'hair', not the roller. Conjuring
