Get rid of pet fur in laundry with this simple household item

Having a dog or cat is a beautiful adventure but comes with many responsibilities and small inconveniences. As you might guess, one significant issue is the omnipresent fur. In the summer, it's everywhere — on the floor, bedding, chairs, or couch.

Fur also settles on clothes. Before leaving the house, you need to use a lint roller, which is quite time-consuming. How to get rid of fur from clothes? Throw one thing into the washing machine, and you'll forget the problem.

Shedding, or losing fur, is an entirely natural phenomenon. It involves changing the fur covering to adjust the body temperature to prevailing weather conditions. It usually happens twice a year — in the spring and fall. However, it all depends on the weather and the breed of the pet.

During the period of increased fur shedding, hair is everywhere—literally everywhere. It often ends up on our clothes, which don't look very good. How do you get it off? The most common solution is a lint roller. It consists of sticky tape that "pulls" contaminants from the clothing.

Instead of a roller, you can use a damp rubber glove, which works similarly to tape. This trick has one big downside—it takes a lot of time. However, there is a way to remove fur during washing.

Do you have a few plastic bags at home and don't know how to use them? Roll them into a ball, throw them into the washing machine drum and dirty laundry, and choose your preferred program. The bag will act like Velcro, removing fur and hair from the clothes. Remember not to wash it at high temperatures, as the thin plastic will surely melt.

To wash bedding or towels, replace the bag with two wet wipes. After removing the clothes from the washer, you will notice that practically no hair is left on them. Use this trick with every wash, and the lint roller will become a thing of the past.
