Fleece getting rid of hair?

I know this seems bad haha, but I take my fleece liners to the public washer and dryer(is that how you spell that lol?) place. I never have to brush mine though, the washer usually gets all the hair out.

Ah! Well when I do my weekly cage cleaning, i vacuum a decent amount of hair up while vacuuming up poos, then i shake my fleece liner in my cage to shake off any remaining poos, and some hair falls off that way too, and I vacuum it up then. Usually there isn't much hair left on it, then i wash it.

My problem isn't hair, its hay, so I do have to go outside and just give it an additional shake to get all the hay off. If you don't do this already, you can try this, it works for me!

Hope this helps

Hi guys, I need help.
I'm tired of fleece liners. It takes me so long to take off the hair. I never get to finish because my wrist starts to hurt, and because I always get hair flying everywhere! I shake out my liners on my balcony, and I brush it out with a rubber brush. Is there an easier way to get rid of the hair?
I'm also tired of my laundry having guinea pig hair.

You could wash them in a old pillow case to catch the hair. When I used fleece I didn't worry so much about the hair staying over poo and hay.

I shake mine in the cage, so poops, hay, and some hair fall off. Then I put ours on the ground and vacuum it. Takes me about 1-3 mins. I also bought a handheld vacuum off Amazon that is meant for pet hair. It works wonderful when I want to tidy it up a bit

Another option is to purchase horse blanket washing bags. I'm not sure where you are located but they are available online. The only place I've been able to find them is in the UK. I purchased mine on Ebay from a seller in the UK. They work beautifully to keep all the hair out of the washer.

Oh, I will look into that! I have 2x6 liners, so I can't put them in pillow cases.

Have you tried a lint roller? That might help.

Wondering what hand vacuum u use? I've been looking but reviews are so mixed and for the price of some it's hard to choose.

I have to agree with anyone who mentioned the washing bags. I have a blanket washer bag that I purchased on Amazon. It works great! I just sweep my fleece, then shake any loose hay, hair or dropping off onto the puppy pads under the fleece, and then I just put the fleece in the washer bag. If there is any hair, or hay left on the fleece it stays contained in the bag. Then I just take the bag and shake it out after washing the fleece. It works perfectly!

sorry I didn't include the link with my original response but this is the bag I have, and I also use 2x6 liners. (broken link removed)
