Pledge ripoff
You may have seen the ads for the Pledge pet hair remover. I bought one
yesterday. It does remove the hair BUT according to instructions, when the plastic cover fills up with hair "simply throw it away". Why pay $5 for a device that has to be thrown away after using it? ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

My cats (all 7 of 'em) shed like beasts, and it's still picking up the hair. I'm not exactly sure *when* it will be full. It looks full now, but just tried it, and it still works. YMMV |

That's ridiculous! I've been looking for one of those since I first saw the ad a few months ago, but the local supermarkets never have them. I'd really like to try it, but I'm not going to dump it after only a few uses. What horrible design (not an accident, I'm sure). Besides, what rock are these people under? Haven't they heard that the earth already has enough garbage?? I'm definitely going to try one of those modifications.

I looked at it but when I realized it was a throw-away I said nope. (Price aside, we don't need more plastic crap in our landfills.) Jill |

I loved this, it is so true.

"MaryL" -OUT-THE-LITTER wrote in message . .. "EvelynVogtGamble(Divamanque)" wrote in message m... The best fur-remover I've ever tried is a simply gadget shaped like a brush, covered with a sort of rough plush surface. Rub it across your upholstery in one direction and it picks up hair, rub it on your hand or other surface in the other direction, and it sheds the fur, ready for its next use. They've been around for a long, long time - some are fancier than others, some come with a storage case, but they all work on the same principal, and get what your vacuum cleaner leaves behind. (Unlike the kind that has a roll of sticky tape that you keep tearing off when it's full, these don't leave any sticky residue on the surface you're cleaning, and last practically forever.) I have used those for years, and I think they are great. They even work on draperies because you can place your hand behind the fabric and then brush over the surface. The ones I have were originally sold under the name of Magic Brush, but I did not find any when I did a quick search a few minutes ago. I have a hand-held Dirt Devil that I use when I want a strong vacuum for furniture--the old-fashioned one with cloth bag and metal controls (not plastic). MaryL Found it! Here's a source in the UK: http://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/cats/c...brushes/139336 And here's one in the U.S.: http://www.drugstore.com/products/pr...6-a414bcb76ccc MaryL |
