Default Cats loosing TONS of hair

I have had this cat for about 2 years & the best cat in the world so far
She has medium long hair .
This summer the hair that comes off this cat is to much to bear . If she
rubs next to my pant leg it is covered in hair if she gets in my lap i
get totaly covered in hair . The floors and furniture in this house are
covered with cat hair . Everytime i turn around i have a piece of cat
hair in my mouth or on my food .
She goes outside alot and has run of the garage where i have a large rug
in front of a workbench where she lays alot . I can clean this rug and
in one day its covered with big gobs of hair .

Tired of following this cat around 24-7 vacuuming .
I know cats loose some hair but never seen anything like this .

Any ideas ?

I have tried combing or brushing and one can only brush about 1/3 of a
cat for only so long before she gets up & walks off so that didnt help
the hair problem .

I regularly keep her 3 main ( chosen by her ) sleeping places clean . A
chair in a window , the whole love seat and my kitchen chair .
Lately she has taken to trying to spend her sleeping , cleaning time on
other fruniture totaly different spreding even more hair all over things
..

I use a blower to clean my garage floor off and yo should see the huge
tornado of cat hair billow up & fly out the big door .

thanks for your suggestion .

As the owner of a totally white cat who it seems sheds about 50% of her body
hair per day, I would recommend the following:-
1) Brush her as ofter as you can. NB. The wire type brushes are better for
getting the hairs off than the bristle ones, in my experience.
2) After you brush her try to wipe her coat with a damp cloth.
3) Vacuum every day
4) Don't wear a lot of black clothes!

I'm not sure where you live, but I'm in the UK and when the cold weather
arrives the shedding does calm down.
