How do you keep your clothes fur-free?

Our kitties shed like crazy (especially Max) and I can never seem to get the fur off of me to go to work. We have the sticky rollers and the felt ones. I've actually started to avoid certain types of fabric (especially black fleece) because of the hair!

I'm sure that the rest of you probably have this problem too. What do you do?

With 4 cats, I have accepted it as a fact of life!!

I usually get to work and steal the sticky envelopes that you put UPS waybills in - you can slide your whole hand in and pat yourself down.

I don't worry about my pet's hair.. since I handle 50-70 animals per day at work, I stopped caring about hair on my clothes long ago. I have a roller brush thingy on my desk & use it a couple of times a day. I suppose if I worked in an office or other professional atmosphere I'd care more..

I use a felt lint brush, but mostly I avoid fabrics like you mentioned above that attract hair. I also brush B.B. almost everynight so that helps alot.

I agree. I don't care when it's on my casual clothes. But in the office, there are clients going back and forth and it's just not the look I'm going for!

I go with Liz's philosophy. I lint roll once I'm out of the house instead of when I'm in it. I know I don't have as many pets as some of you but Jiggy can shed a mean ball of fur when she wants to

I agree Sophie.. my chinchillas shed alot when I hold them... not to mention the dust.

I don't change into my work clothers until the last minute and I always keep a lint roller in my car, in addition to a couple in the house. I work around food so pet hair on my clothes isn't something I can tolerate for work, but outside of work I don't care.

can you get dressed at work??

take your work clothes in a bag, change once you get there and then you wont have to worry about attracting hairs on your way out the door?

Good idea Brandy, but if Candice's house is anything like mine, I can take clean laundry out of the dryer, hang it up immediately and it STILL has cat hair on it when I go to put it on!!
