I Rave About This $25 Pet Hair Remover to Anyone Who Will Listen

When my two black-haired dogs started shedding their winter coats all over my white sofa, it became apparent that something needed to change. My fiancé and I were going through multiple lint rollers a week to keep up with all the loose fur, which seemed wasteful. So as soon as I discovered the ChomChom Roller, I placed an order for one. Couldn't hurt, right? 

Once it arrived, I noticed its compact design looks a lot like a traditional lint roller, but instead of strips of sticky tape, it uses brushes to collect pet hair and dust in a small compartment (similar to a bagless vacuum), making it easy to remove and discard. After one use, I was appalled at how much hair was actually on my sofa, but at the same time, I was blown away by how well the $25 tool performed. Since that initial test, I’ve found that it’s not ideal for removing hair from clothing, but it works so well on my furniture I can't believe I've lived this long without it. It’s that good.

This reusable gadget uses a high-quality brush system made with rubber teeth and small bristles to pick up hair and dust. It doesn’t require batteries or power (beyond that of your arm); all you have to do is roll it across your sofa, bedding, blankets, throw pillows, or almost any other furniture fabric with short back-and-forth motions. It’s recommended to clean the brush and remove any collected particles from the trap after each use to keep it in pristine condition.

Everyone thought I was a little crazy for purchasing white furniture with three animals in the house (we also have a cat), but thanks to the ChomChom Roller excess pet hair hasn’t been an issue. Before getting the reusable roller, I vacuumed once a week and took an hour or more to deep-clean the couch. Now, it takes me less than 20 minutes to get the job done. I use the roller once every other day, and the difference it makes is incredible. I can officially call this roller life-changing.
