Anyone else seen the Pledge Pet Hair commercial?
I probably watch too much TV...but just now I saw a new product by Pledge. It's a fabric sweeper for pet hair on upholstery like couches and chairs. Pledge claims it picks up as much hair as 145 sheets of sticky paper do. As our current vacuum doesn't have an attachment, I often have to go around the apt with our DustBuster and that only picks up about half the hair. You guys should have seen how many sticky papers I went through when we were hosting a football game gathering a few months back! My main concern is how green the contraption is...I've vowed to make greener decisions in cleaning, with my biggest change being not to bring in any more unnecessary chemicals into our home. What do you guys think about this new product? If anyone else has tried it, please post a review.

Re: Anyone else seen the Pledge Pet Hair commercial?
I just use a bottle of water (or Febreze) and a rubber glove. Lightly mist the furniture with the water, then run your gloved hand over it. The hair comes off like magic! I have tried every contraption and product known to man and this is by far the best method.
I would totally buy one of those if it wasn't disposable. It would have to last a really long for me to justify throwing away that much plastic. It seems about the same or maybe even more wasteful that a regular lint roller. Lint rollers usually have about 60-80 sheets, so this is only like 2 lint rollers. Have you tried using a reusable lint/pet hair removal mitt like this?
I keep all 5 of my pets (3 cats and 2 dogs) off our new couch but allow them on our bed and the large doggy bed in the bedroom.... hair still gets on the couch but ive found if I vacum it (I know you said you dont have an attachment) and I keep my pets brushed and the wood floors pretty clean and things dusted not much gets to the couch then I only clean the couch (vac.) once every 2 weeks
I know Im no help, sorry.
I just bought these and they seem to work well, much better than anything else I have tried. And they were cheap.
My reply is way late but DH bought one of these things the other day at the store. It picked up so much hair it's disgusting! I think that it's probably accurate about the number of sticky sheets it's equal to. It is disposable but it seems like if you were really worried about throwing out the plastic you could probably dismantle it and put it back together with some glue or something and use it again.
It's essentially two of those pads a pp posted a picture of mounted on two half (lenght wise) cylinders positioned right next to each other. When you run it over a piece of fabric the pads rub together, picking up the hair and depositing it in the body of the contraption.
