DH housekeeping - hair in velcro

I just need to vent.

DH trimmed his hair in the bathroom and he must have used his shirt or a rag or something to clean up and put it in the laundry basket. I did a load this morning and on the clean clothes there was lots of 1cm bits of hair on EVERYTHING.

I put it all on a second load and most of it has washed away, but a lot is stuck into the velcro of all our baby swaddles. There's a great culture where I live of passing on baby things and these were passed on to us secondhand. Baby isn't even here yet so I was washing them for the first time.

I am usually relaxed about housekeeping but this has got me feeling irrationally angry. There's so much of it, it's a bit gross to look at and what's worse is that unless someone spends a couple of hours picking a hundred hairs out of each swaddle I can't pass them on to anyone else, they'll have to be binned.

Please send advice or sympathy or talk me out of my annoyed mood. It's not the end of the world I know, I just needed to vent.

I use a pointy steak knife to get the hair and crud out of the Velcro on my daughters shoes. Works really well and pretty quick. A job for dh, not you!
