Can you answer sunnylyn2002’s question about Pets?:

My laundry still comes out of the dryer with pet hair on it. Is there anything I can do to remove the hair?

    Pets Feedback: Do you use dryer sheets? If not try them.
    You can also remove the lint from the lint trap halfway through your load and of course remove it again when drying is done.
    And ALWAYS keep those sticky tape lint rollers around. Those things are life savers.

    Pets Feedback: make sure not to include pet with laundry. let just say, if you ever owned a pet cat that loved to get dirty, you’ve thought about it.

    Pets Feedback: put white vinegar in the rinse cycle, it will remove pet and lint. it does not give your clothes any type of odor either.

    Pets Feedback: Yes you should use a pet mitt to clean off your clothes before tossing in the washing machine, Try the horse mitt it is bigger and does a better cleaning job of getting pet hair off your clothes, it’s better than those pet hair rollers with the sticky. Also can use one cup of White Vinegar in plain water on a whole cycle, without detergent, this will clean and soften your clothes and remove any odors and help to eliminate the static buildup in your clothes that is causing pet hair to cling to your clothes, after that you can wash normally. And to keep the pet hair down, brush and comb your pets daily or at least more often, this will remove the dead hair that is coming out and clinging to your clothes, You can also use a clean soft hairbrush to remove the pet hair from your clothes before washing them, it does a great job of cleaning off the hair, just use as you would a clothes brush. Good Luck !

    Use lint brushes or sticky tapes on your laundry before putting them in the washer.
