Scotch-Brite Lint Brush, Ideal for Removing Lint and Pet Hair on Clothing

I had multiple garments including dress pants and merino wool that were covered in lint, and I tried four different methods to remove it. First I used tape (essentially what the sticky rollers are) which was useless. Then I tried the Evercare Duo with the metal comb, which worked pretty well but was a pain to use as it moved the lint rather than picking it up, so I had to brush it to the edge of the garment and off, and as I went I had to keep brushing the same spot over and over as the lint would often get moved sideways or backwards or get redeposited. I also had to be extra careful on the wool, making an already tedious process even worse. I then tried the Carrand silicone brush, which I had high hopes for based on reviews, but it didn't do much of anything.Finally, I tried this brush, and while it still took a bit of time and I had to brush the same areas repeatedly, it made much faster progress than the Duo brush (the only other one that made ANY progress) while not needing to be careful with it. The dual-sided design is really nice as they are oriented in opposite directions, so depending on how you're brushing you can use one side or the other to make it easier. It also allows for more lint removal before requiring cleaning of the brush. Which brings me to my final point: the reviewers complaining about it being difficult to remove the lint from the brush, which appears to be the majority of the negative reviews for this thing, are clearly doing something wrong. It takes literally five seconds to clean. I do find it helps to brush it with a paper towel, as that somewhat grips the lint to push it off the brush, not to mention you can then pinch it off the edge of the lint brush with the paper towel to collect it. I suspect those having difficulty are trying to just use their hands, which may not provide adequate traction to remove the lint. But it's not rocket science. This things works well, is well designed, appears to be well made, and yes, does clean easily. Could have saved a good bit of money and time had I just tried it first.

Unbelievable sale price (currently only $3.99)! This is my all time favorite lint brush. Don't fall for a 'look-alike' - this one is the real deal. Works especially well on couch cushions and rugs.

Works well (when brushing in the correct direction) to remove lint and pet hair. Easy to grip and maneuver over garment. I just use my hand/fingers to rub the lint off the brush and reuse. I just wish there was some kind of base/cleaner that would make the removal easier. Recommend.

My black cat has some favorite hang outs especially near windows-- the curtains were covered in his black hair. I first tried the sticky paper rollers and while I was making progress with cleaning it out-- so many sticky sheets everywhere. I looked around online and found this- the reviews were good and it is very reasonably priced (most sticky rollers are $5 each, and when they're out they're out). Not only is this product effectively infinitely reusable, my curtains were clean in a matter of minutes. If I hadn't been going back and forth to show my household how awesome the brush was, the job would have been done in less than a minute. In addition to the cat hair, it picked up a bunch of my hair too that I hadn't even noticed. The curtains are my sister's, so I was quite relieved they cleaned so easily-- she wouldn't be very impressed to get them back someday covered in my cat's hair!The brush has directionality with the way the fibers are oriented, and each side is oriented the opposite direction, so you can easily stroke back and forth, sweeping both ways. I tended to sweep all one way and then all the other way for my curtains.Cleaning the brush, I just wiped it off with my hand into the trashcan. If you wipe it in the direction with the fibers (not against them, like when you are cleaning), everything just comes right off. A few times when I was cleaning I lost track of the orientation and swept the wrong direction, and it smeared the hair I had trapped out, but on the next pass the correct way, it instantly took all the hair up again.I'm very pleased with this purchase and have been roaming around the house trying to find any other cat hang out areas. It's gratifying how well it works.

Edit: Below is my earlier review which I kept up for reference, but I now believe this brush is a 5 star brush. I came to this conclusion because I found out the proper way to clean the brush. Each side of the brush has a direction of travel in order to pick up lint, hair and other debris. To clean it off you don't need water, towels or any other device other than your hand. Just run your hand in the opposite direction of travel and the hair effortlessly comes off of the brush for you to throw away. It's simple, easy and works great!---I have a long hair black and white Norwegian Forest Cat (a descendant of the Maine Coon) so I have hair over everything. Everything! I was using up roll after roll of the sticky paper rollers and I was still leaving the house with hair on all my clothes. I thought it was time to invest in something that would save me money.Long story short, I ordered the 3M brush and I am proud of my purchase. It cleans better than expected, even though it leaves some of the more dug in hairs--I can't fault the company on that one since the sticky rollers would have a hard time retrieving those, if they could at all. Also, it doesn't pick up fuzz from the fabric like the sticky rollers did on my wool pea coat.It's also easy to clean. I quickly run it under water then use a paper towel to clean it off. The hair comes off easily, though I don't know if I'm actually saving myself money because of the paper towel usage.Overall, very happy with my purchase. Easy to use, works well and easy to clean. I don't know if I'm saving money in the long run due to paper towel usage, but it is saving my fabric as the brush doesn't pull fuzz from it.
