How to Get Dog Hair off of a Peacoat
Peacoats are made from wool. The wool attracts dog hair, lint and fibers that cause the coats to look unattractive. Peacoats are difficult to wash and frequent cleaning can harm the fabric. When dog hair sticks to your peacoat, you do not have to hide it in the back of the closet.
Remove the dog hair with items you have around the home.
Things You Will Need
- Lint roller
- Microfiber washcloth
- Packaging tape
- Dryer fabric softener sheet
Tip
Place a dry cleaner bag or garbage bag over the peacoat when you store it to prevent dog hair from sticking to it. Bring your coat to a professional dry cleaner if you have difficulty removing the dog hair. Apply an anti-static spray to prevent dog hairs from sticking to the peacoat.
-
Lay the peacoat on a flat surface. Spread the arms out to the side.
-
Run a lint roller over the peacoat. Remove the lint paper when it no longer feels sticky. continue to run the lint roller over the peacoat until you remove all of the dog hair.
-
Dampen a microfiber washcloth with water if you do not have a lint roller. Wipe the washcloth over the peacoat until you remove all of the dog hairs.
-
Wrap packaging tape around your hand so that the sticky side does not touch your skin. Run the packaging tape over the peacoat until you remove the dog hair. You may have to replace the packaging tape as it fills with hairs.
-
Rub a dryer fabric softener sheet over the peacoat to pick up the dog hair. Replace the dryer sheet as needed until you remove all of the hair.
