knd643 Posted November 13, 2013 Share #1 Posted November 13, 2013 Was wondering if their are any good and effective methods to get dog hair out of wool. I just got done picking hair out of my WW2 USMC wool blanket for about a hour by hand(grabbing each hair individually and pulling it out) and their is still a little bit on the blanket. Does anyone one know any safe methods to get rid of dog hair in WW2 items. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberguido Posted November 13, 2013 Share #2 Posted November 13, 2013 use packing tape, takes it off and doesn't leave residue behind. I had big dogs all growing up, got creative with my items from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted November 13, 2013 Share #3 Posted November 13, 2013 You can also buy the lint rollers in most retail stores.They are basically a roll of masking tape type material on a plastic handle.and have sheets that you peel off.Fairly inexpensive and have 45-60 sheets per roller depending on the brand.

knd643 Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted November 13, 2013 I have some lint rollers but I didnt know if that could possibly damage the blanket or leave residue behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROBS Posted November 13, 2013 Share #5 Posted November 13, 2013 it shouldn't... as long as the blanket is in good shape. then store it somewhere away from hair. trust me, I feel your pain. (3 cats and a dog) -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitter2k1 Posted November 13, 2013 Share #6 Posted November 13, 2013 It took me a while of picking cat hair out of my WWI blanket just so I could roll it up in a shelter half. Since it is so old, I opted for the method you used, hand removing it until I was happy with it.

AAF_Collection Posted November 13, 2013 Share #7 Posted November 13, 2013 I use a lint roller on all my uniforms, just take care around patches, bullion, ribbons etc. on a wool blanket you shouldn't have any problems. Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRR Posted November 13, 2013 Share #8 Posted November 13, 2013 Lint roller it what I use (wife has a feline) and never had a problem. I use it on patches as well, especially navy rates that show everything stuck to it. There are non-adhesive versions out there that use some sort of sticky rubber instead of glue but I have not used one before on military items to attest its affectiveness.

Sabrejet Posted November 13, 2013 Share #9 Posted November 13, 2013 I wrap wide low-tack masking tape around my hand, sticky side out, and "pat" the affected areas. It lifts hairs, dust or fluff etc. Repeat as necessary when the tape looses its tackiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROBS Posted November 13, 2013 Share #10 Posted November 13, 2013 yup same idea as a lint roller. if you feel the tape or lint roller you are using is too "tacky" and might damage something... run it over your own shirt or something first so it loses the initial very strong "tack". -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
