This is a good method to remove loose hair as fast as you can.

How to use:

1. Go over areas twice with alternative directions to loosen up stubborn hair

2. Start vacuuming as much loose hair off your blanket. Remember to vacuum the sides.

Be careful with large amounts of dog hair
as it may clog up the vacuum cleaner and damage it.
