I have static really bad and with two dogs it makes dog hair really hard to clean up. How does this work in regards to static?

I also use the soap nuts for several household chores, we have a collie and a cat so lots of hair in our home. I have found using natural wool wound into balls in the dryer not only helps my clothing to dry naturally and faster, but they are also very soft and static free and the bonus is the hair is in the dryer vent trap and easily cleaned and thrown into the trash. The directions for making these wool dryer balls are on the internet and you-tube, the cost is minimal to get started, and the wool balls last for years which is quite a savings.

I agree completely with the other answer on Feb 16th. I use tennis balls and aluminum foil balls to help with static but that helps only a little. Anything that will grab those balls, such as fitted sheets, get little effect from them in regards to static. Because static is such a problem for me, I'm doing some of my laundry with softener and am continuing to research best products that don't contribute chemicals. I do change out the foil balls about once a month, otherwise they start to break down. I am a SoapNut fan regardless of the complexity of my washdays! My husband has developed pretty sensitive skin but Nuts do help! I agree completely with the other answer on Feb 16th.

Well, I haven't really noticed a change in the static charge of my clothes since switching to SoapNuts. I do use wool balls and an aluminum foil ball in the dryer and see virtually no static except when washing big blankets. I don't think these affect static but it seems to be more so what you use in the dryer.

Hi Tara- Thanks for asking. If you followed the directions on the box to slightly dampen the brush to address static issues, and you used a side to side brushing motion, then you are certainly doing nothing wrong:-) The reason many people love Lilly Brush is because with most kinds of pet hair, it works better and faster than sticky rollers and doesn't ever need refills. However...we include the following in our Product Description because there are so many different kinds of fur out there.. "What if Lilly Brush doesn't work on your breed's hair? Here at Lilly Brush, we completely understand that not all pet hair is created equal! We designed our BE FOREVER FURLESS Brush to work on a variety of dog and cat hair and as many types of surfaces as possible. That being said, some fur is more difficult to collect than others. If you are less than satisfied with how your Lilly Brush works on your pet's hair please return the brush to Amazon.com and we will fully refund your order." So, hopefully that helps, Tara. We want you to be happy with your purchase! Kind regards, Lilly Brush Co.

I can't answer that...have only used it a few times since I moved and the dogs here have very short hair. I think it works great! It's got very powerful suction!!

I have a dog that sheds and usually lays on the area rugs. It does a good job picking up the dog hair. I don't use it on my wood floors, but don't know why it wouldn't pick up.

To the best of my knowledge, it does eliminate static. I had not noticed it at first, but after the question, I paid more attention, and it does reduce static. Hope this helps

To help with static in the winter, like most of us have, we advise to wash the brush with a liquid soap used for dishes or a baby shampoo. This will usually help. Also, using a detangling spray will help with static as well.

Sorry, I have no pets so I don't have an answer. It picks up my hair but I imagine dog hair is much thicker. The brush is a regular one with two straight rows; they're fairly stiff and help to lift hair from carpeting.

I used to use a similar model with my 20 lb dog. When they say 'static' it is like when you walk across a carpeted room & get shocked when you touch the door knob. It is a static electric shock. I only had to use on mine for about a month & then I just had to lay it in front of her kennel & she understood. :) I hope this helps.

Kind of, I was hoping..the grind is really good but the static can drive you crazy. If you find something that works, let me know. You really need to clean it out with each use.

I found that it tended to remove carpet (lint) every time I used it no matter how gentle I was. It seemed to create static, which made any dog hair collected, which wasn't much (and one of my dog really sheds), want to fly away from the tool.

We own a black short hair dog. I think it does a very good job of getting her hair off the carpet, dog bed and furniture. The suction is excellent. The bag is very easy to change also. However, the bag does retain smells. My husband swears it smells like dog after I sweep, so I bought tablets you put in the bag to hide odors. I don't smell dog myself.

It does not get 100% of lint, but a lot of it gets caught. Pet hair should be caught as well. Especially if it is long hair and if there is already some lint in the snare.

I haven't had any trouble with that. I have 3 dogs that shed heavily and long hair and the vacuum works beautifully so far.

I have a dog the sheads a medium amount (weekly vacuuming is ok). And I haven't found any hair stuck to the ball. It doesn't feel sticky and it hasn't gotten a hair grabbing charge like a rubbed balloon either. So it shouldn't be an issue.

It's not designed to collect hair like a traditional brush. It's just supposed to cut the undercoat and pull it away. I always brush my dogs outside or in the garage because the hair goes flying everywhere.

Dog hair is a problem for us, too. I was actually concerned that the sheep balls would collect too much dog hair. They collect some but not much. I did use a piece of tape to remove it from them. I tend to use a sticky lint roller or pieces of packing tape to remove the dog fur from things. Tedious but nothing else seems to work. Maybe I will try some dryer sheets for that...thanks! Might try the dryer sheets plus the sheep balls at the same time.

It isn't the same because they aren't leaving anything on your clothes like a chemical softener would. They help with the static a ton as long as you use enough per load size.
