| How To Get Dog Hair Out Of Blankets |
Phase One: The Pre-Wash Pounce
Tip: A slow, careful read can save re-reading later.
Before you hurl your furry blanket into the washing machine, a little pre-wash pounce can make a world of difference. Consider these follicular foes and their furry friends:
Tip: Reread tricky sentences for clarity.
-
The Lint Roller: Your trusty lint roller is your first line of defense. Imagine it as a knight valiantly slaying the dragons of dog hair with each sticky swipe.
-
The Rubber Glove Rubdown: Don that yellow dishwashing glove (because who doesn't love channeling their inner Michael Jackson while cleaning?) and dampen it slightly. Run it over your blanket like you're giving it a massage (minus the happy ending for the dog hair). The static electricity will cause the fur to cling to the glove for easy removal.
-
The Duct Tape Debacle: This one requires a bit of elbow grease (and maybe a lint roller for your hands afterward). Rip off strips of duct tape and press them firmly onto the blanket. Peel them back slowly, marveling at the furry harvest you've reaped. Bonus points for making creepy whispering sounds as you peel, pretending the tape is revealing a secret message from the dog mafia.
Phase Two: The Washing Machine Whirlpool
QuickTip: Reread for hidden meaning.
Now that you've loosened the fur's grip on your blanket, it's time to unleash the washing machine's watery wrath! But hold on, there's some laundry ninja magic to be performed:
-
The De-Furring Dryer Dance: Before tossing your blanket in the washer, consider a 10-minute tumble in the dryer on an air-fluff setting. This will loosen even more fur and send it flying into the lint trap, not your washer's delicate innards.
-
The Vinegar Vinegar Vanquisher: Add half a cup of white vinegar to your rinse cycle. Vinegar, a natural fabric softener, will loosen any remaining fur and leave your blanket smelling fresher than a post-bath puppy (but hopefully without the lingering puppy-breath aroma).
-
The Washing Woof Woof: Wash your blanket on its own, or with minimal laundry companions, to avoid fur from transferring to other clothes. Use the cold water setting to prevent the fur from setting further into the fabric.
Phase Three: The Post-Wash Purrfect (We Meant Perfect!)
Once the washing machine has done its duty, you're almost there! Here's how to ensure your blanket emerges victorious:
-
The Lint Trap Tango: Don't forget to clean out your dryer's lint trap after tackling a furry blanket. Imagine the satisfaction of holding a giant clump of conquered canine fur – a furry trophy of your cleaning prowess!
-
The Fluffy Finish: Give your blanket a good shake to remove any lingering fur. Now, snuggle in and enjoy your reclaimed cuddle haven, free from the tyranny of dog hair (at least until your furry friend decides to cuddle again).
Remember, the battle against dog hair is a never-ending one. But with these tips and a little humor, you can keep your blankets fur-free and your sanity intact. So go forth, brave warriors, and reclaim your cozy corners from the furry invasion!
