It makes me sick to my stomach just thinking about it now. I don’t like it anywhere- in the car, on the sofa, on the rug, on my DAUGHTER. Yuck.

Have you seen Monsters, Inc.? Do you remember what happens when they think a monster has been “contaminated”? Well, they basically get stripped down to their bare skin- all of their fur is removed. That is kind of what I want to do to Kingston from time-to-time.

I saw these commercials for the Pledge Fabric Sweeper for Pet Hair and kept saying that I would buy it to try it out… Five dollars later, I am at home with this little gadget, which according to Pledge “picks up as much pet hair as 145 sticky roller sheets.” All I had to do was slide it side-to-side on the furniture that I was trying to remove the hair from.

Here are their directions:

1. Slide side to side on upholstered furniture using moderate pressure. Use short strokes of about 8-12 inches in each direction (as indicated by the arrows on the sweeper).
2. Fabric Sweeper is self-cleaning! As you go in one direction, one roller picks up the pet hair from the surface. When you go in the other direction, the second roller cleans off the first and pushes the pet hair inside.
3. If pet hair builds up on the rollers, repeat the side-to-side motion a few times on a clean area of the upholstery.

Seemed easy enough.

I tried it in our car first. The interior of the car is gray and Kingston’s brown dog hair is very visible… this doesn’t make Momma happy. There I was sliding side-to-side, side-to-side… working up a sweat determined to get the dog hair off and gone for good.

I must have been in that car for 20 minutes and could still see dog hair all over the place. I will say that the fabric sweeper did move some dog hair, but it definitely didn’t do the trick like I thought it would.

I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt and try it again on our front hall rug. For some reason, Kingston thinks this DARK BROWN rug is his dog bed and that he must lay on it whenever possible. This just burns me to the core.

Again on my hands and knees going back and forth, back and forth wondering- why on Earth doesn’t this come with a stick attachment so you don’t have to bend down like this? Again, the same results- while some of the hair was removed, there was plenty left to go around.

My final thoughts? It’s an okay product, but for 5 bucks, I am not sure if it is worth it. We have a lint remover here that may have done the job just the same. Also, when this fabric sweeper is full you have to throw it away- what is that about? Why can’t you just pop the top off, dump the dog hair and then put it back on? I may be saving my money in the future and sticking to a lint remover or plain old tape… or I can just have Kingston completely shaved, but I don’t think that would fly with the Hubs.

Pros:

- Does remove some pet hair
- Lightweight
- Easy to use- you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure this one out

Cons:
- Doesn’t really complete the job
- Has to be thrown away when it is full- this can get expensive
- You have to bend down to use it on rugs, etc. Where’s the push stick for it?
