Would this work for medium-length synthetic fur or will it pull off the fur? I'd like to remove loose fur, which I typically do with a lint roller.

I'm unsure, haven't tried it. But I would believe it might pull off the fur since it sucks it in and cuts it.

I don't believe it has that feature. I simply pull the fur/hair off the comb and it's no problem at all.

Hi Daisy- I YES, have used it on a black lab -- with their shorter coat, going in the direction of the fur isn't AS helpful as it is going against the grain to get loose fur off. but with any matting of the fur, go IN the direction of the fur, little bits at a time. Get part of the mat hooked on the rake, then give a very quick, but firm YANK, and it'll come out beautifully. With the low cost of this item, and the fact that it works not only on dogs, but kitties as well, give it a shot! I've even bought several because once I show clients, friends and family how well it works, they want one, so I have some handy to give as presents!

After use the fur will usually become "matted" into the glove. I am able to peel it off starting at one end. The fuller the surface becomes the easier it is to peel off the fur. I always use long slower motions with the glove and find it does a great job removing loose hair and I would think undercoat. My cat seems to enjoy it since this glove allows more of a 'petting' feel rather than a combing and/or brushing would.

It might work on paper fibers, it's worth a try. The brush works best on lint and loose hairs, pet or human hair.

The brush removes loose and matted hair. It works very well on my Goldendoodle whose coat mats really easily. It gets down to the base of the hair and untangles everything. A brush seems to only take care of surface hair. I love this brush, it keeps my dogs coat looking great.

I saw that the other response says the teeth are too far apart to effectively collect fur. I use a rubber curry sort of affair for that but this baby is the best for handling tangles and matted fur.

I simply use my hand to remove the fur. The dog fur I need to remove is long so I'm lucky.

I don't think so... I could be mistaken but it just seems to grab the loose fur instead of just brushing through it like regular brushes..then again I'm not for certain.

No. In fact, it barely even collects on this thing. I have a short haired dachshund and a long haired cat, I've had my cover for 3 months, and I've never removed hair beyond tossing the cover in the wash, because I can't even tell it's fur-covered. For super-shedding dogs, it should come right up with the same method you use to remove it from your clothes. The fabric is like velour, but it's not a fur-magnet like velour.

There are probably better options for denim, especially if you want a quick fix while wearing them. I would use either a tape adhesive type roller, or the pledge fabric sweeper. Its a little more pricy but lasts a long time, even the older model. The blade works best for pulling hair out of fabrics with a nap like suede or fleece that normally cling onto and attract hair. If you do use it on and fabrics, make sure they are as flat as possible and taut. I have the blade and use it daily to clean up the pet hair from my bedspread left from the long haired cat and Boston Terrier. I don't know what I did without it.

My dog has a triple coat and sheds excessively, the hair tends to weave into fabric as she moves around. This cover is microfiber with a quilted look to it, so far the dog hair comes up fairly easily with the brush of my vaccum. With the sticky hairs I use a pethair remover brush which brings it right up. Also the dryer lint screen catches all when I wash the cover. We have redclay mud and lots of rain and snow, if she muddies it up, I let it dry and brush it off. Comes right off until I am ready to wash it. I am really happy with cover. It is as close to furnature covers as I have found. I haven't had flyaway fur issues. Her coat tends to stick to everything. It is worth a try for you. Hope this helps. Leslie

I just tried this on a lightweight micro-fleece top. It did remove dreaded cat hair but it also removed some of the nap. I would try it on the back first to see how it works for you. If you also want to remove lint or fur from blankets, rugs or sturdy upholstery, it does the job.

Dear Kevin- Please don't think you are doing something wrong. We wish it weren't so but there are certain conditions where the BFF does not work as well as others. For instance, sometimes pet hair weaves itself into rugs and fabrics and it becomes very hard to pluck back out, and some pet hair is so short and downy that it is really hard to pick up. One of our test doggies is a Boxer with little eyelash size fur, and the BFF works well cleaning his microfiber bed and favorite spot on the couch, but we have heard from the owner of a French Bulldog that she had more difficulty getting up all of the tiny furs in her car's carpeting. Most important to us at Lilly Brush is that you are happy with your purchase, and we would like to refund you fully if you are not. Please give us a call (303-757-4184) or email us (sales@LillyBrush.com) and let us know what we can do to help. You are very important to us! Many thanks! Lilly Brush Co., LLC

it's not difficult and absolutely necessary if you want it to continue to function properly. we have 2 dogs and three cats, and although hubby is bald i have hair down to my waist, so needless to say i'm daily vacuuming an assortment of hair of varying lengths. i'm assuming you are hoping to clean the head beyond the cursory just removing hair/carpet fibers from the bristles of the roller. first you'll have to un-do the two plastic 'screws' on the bottom of the unit. a dime or rounded tip of a butter knife work best. once that's removed find the 4 screw-holes. these screws require a star-tipped tool(we bought a set of them in varying sizes) once you've unscrewed these 4 screws the next bottom plate can be lifted free. at this point you'll be able to free the roller brush bar from the head. pay special attention to both ends of the roller where it attaches to the head assembly. in my experience both ends become literally packed with wound up hair, which ultimately prevents the roller from rotating at all. i've used needle-nosed pliers, tweezers, upholstery needles all in my efforts to remove the wound up debris. experience will teach you what best works for yours. while you have it apart it pays to go ahead and remove everything else that's become trapped in/around the moving part. the head can be taken apart further, though i don't do that usually but twice a year. it's a matter of a few more screws and close attention to putting it all back as it was. however the thorough cleaning of the roller bar i suspect is what you are most interested in. in my experience(with our # of animals etc,) i have to disassemble mine at least once a month to keep it turning freely and doing an optimal job. hope this helps. m. waite

We have 2 cats both short hair. 1 is thicker than the other. It gets down to the skin. My guess would be it would work. You might have to take your time. I have had a long hair cat before and I would have liked to try it on him. Both of my cats love the furminator. I hope this helps.
