Is there a secret???

[assumpta]

Is there a secret to getting dog hair out of doggie towels and bedding after you have washed and dried them? How about out of the washing machine? My dog is lovely, but with hair here, there and everywhere, i am going a bit mad. He is a scruffy terrier cross.

I am also starting to get very worried about people coming for dinner and them finding dog hair in their food. What do you do???

If you are good at cross stitch embroider the following and hang them in your hall :-

Dog hair is a condiment

No outfit is complete without dog hair

When guests arrive, smile, point and offer a gin. Seriously, we're a four dog household. I clean religiously in the kitchen, have a dishwasher, but accept that the odd hair will get through. (And I've got a compromised immune system so don't like infections.)

For the bedding, no. Again, I wash regularly at high temperature, but relax about the odd bits of fluff that accumulate.

You avoid dog hair in your washing machine by taking your dog blankets etc to your mothers house to wash them in her machine. At least that's what I do!

Floral, I just choked on my drink laughing at your post. Brilliant!

A tip I've read on here is after you've washed the dog blankets etc is to let the washer dry out then hoover the hair out!

Shake blankets etc outside before washing.

Hot wash.
Dry on washing line.
When dry shake the blankets etc to get more hair off.
Dog has own towels and blankets.
Brush dog daily
Keep dog trimmed

Love my dog
Hate hair. Be it from a dog, cat, mouse, moose or other.

Bleurgh

Put washer on a rinse cycle before using again

Very funny comments.

I will try the hoover out after leaving the drum to dry.

I do the drying on the line and shaking off, but still loads of hair. I wondered if I put them in a pillowcase with a clip-it holding it shut would that work to keep hair out of the washing machine. I might try it and see.

Acceptance.

My dog blows her coat twice a year and it defies belief just how much hair there is. I fill a black bag with dog hair every week for about eight weeks and still have balls of hair wafting around the hall.

Gave up being house proud a long time ago and no longer apologise for the dog hair in the baby's nappy.

I use a pet wash bag ( search on Amazon - can't do a link as on phone )

Pet wash bag, is this the one Tuna?

How about a petwear wash bag

I run a rinse cycle after a dog bed wash and have ceased to notice dog hair in places it shouldn't be.

gosh see above 2 posts :o

Wouldn't running a rinse cycle clog the pipes with hair after a while though? I thought the whole idea of hoovering out the machine was so the hair didn't go down the pipes! And so hair doesn't get all over the next load of course.

I regularly clog the sink/bath plugs and break the Hoover with my own hair. My hair also relocates itself into sandwiches. It is a fabulous deterrent from people noticing the dog shed.

I have a system

Dog bedding
Then dog towels
Then bath mats
Then people towels then clothes.
