How to use a pet hair mitt on a sofa and on clothes
Once loose fur has already left the cat or dog, use the fabric side of the Pet Hair Removal Mitt. That side picks hair up from a sofa, a cushion, or clothing with static cling. The nub side is for the pet, not for upholstery or fabric. This is for loose hair. Knots and a heavy undercoat still need a brush or a groomer.
Sofa and cushions
Slip the mitt on and turn to the fabric side. Pass it over the loose fur on the sofa or a cushion. Static cling is what lifts the hair that has already come off. If the animal is still on the cushion, pet with the nub side first so less fur lands on the fabric, then use the fabric side on what is left.
A mitt on the arm of the sofa is for this job. It does not replace a cover on a car seat; that is a different piece.
Clothes
The same fabric side is for loose fur already on clothing. Use it on the garment, not the nub side. The mitt is 9.6 × 7.7 in (24.5 × 19.5 cm). Work over the area with visible loose hair. It is not a wash cycle, and it will not take out hair that has been felted into the cloth.
Which side, which job
The nub side with mesh is for the cat or dog, to pick up loose fur as you pet. The fabric side is for a sofa, a cushion, or clothing, where static cling picks up hair that has already come off.
One mitt is $12.99. Two are $16.99 if you want one for the pet and one by the sofa. US shipping is included. The product page does not list a method for washing the mitt itself, so this guide does not add one.
