Keep it clean

Gonzo Pet Hair Lifter When you host a dinner party, do you supply your guests with lint rollers at the door? Are your own clothes constantly fuzzy?

In other words, do you have a shedding dog or cat?

Pet hair is such a nuisance. It ends up everywhere. And, of course, there comes the day when you have a big meeting or interview or date and you might as well startoff with, “Hi! I have a dog!” Or cat. Either way.

The Gonzo Pet Hair Lifter ($5.99) is another way to remove pet hair from the various cloth and cloth-like surfaces of your home. You know, the surfaces that attract the hair and then just will not let it go, like they’re trying to build new pets all their own.

The lifter looks and feels like a particularly dense sponge, but you’re supposed to use it dry, not wet. You take the sponge, then gently, but with some pressure, wipe the clothes, upholstery, bedding, carpet or drapes in question to gather the fur into a little pile. Then, pick up the pile and toss it in the trash or outside for the little birdies to make their nests.

The sponge can also be used to get dust, dirt and pollen off screens, car interiors, lights, fans, vents, baseboards, and so on.

To clean it, just wash and let dry. Visit gonzocorp.com.
