I've had several surgeries on my back and shoulders and can't stand in one place very long. I have two cats that sleep with me. My bedding, especially my comforter, is always covered with tons of cat hair. Every other day I try to use the hair/lint remover brush on the comforter. I have a queen size bed and by the time I'm done, (usually before that), my back is killing me. There must be an easier way to do this! (I live alone too and can't launder my bedding as often as most people because of my back/shoulder problems. I have no friends or family.) Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I would suggest try brushing the two cats, it would also be easier on your back as you can have each cat sit on your lap, I imagine the cats would love it and I think you would enjoy it too.
I should have started when they were kittens. Both cats like to be brushed but only for about 10-15 seconds (they're Bengals). I have several different types of brushes but need to be disciplined about doing it.
I have on dog she is very tiny at three years old but she sheds all year round she sleeps in or on the bed whatever she wants.
So the hair make me itchy after awhile I cant fix it so I have purchased satin sheets and Donna cover that way I can just brush or shake they hair should come off automatically hope that helps the city lady and her cats you circumstances are exactly the same as mine

I have something called the Rubba Scrubba. I bought it at flylady.net. The bristles are soft plastic and pick up all kinds of hair.
Thanks... i'll definitely look into that! I currently have several lint removers/hair remover wands but they're so small, it takes a very long time to do my comforter.
I lightly sprinkle a clean dishwashing glove with a bit of water and run my hand across it with it.
Yes, I've heard this one before but never tried it. The bathroom sink is right across the hall so I can use both hands and rinse :-)). I'm willing to try anything...thank you!
An absolute Godsend. Thank you.
A rubber dish washing glove slightly damp does a good job but you still have to cover the area swipe by swipe.
You're certainly right about them shedding more when the weather begins to get warm! I LOVE your suggestion about throwing a sheet over the comforter...OMG, that's the easiest way to deal with it because I can then throw the sheet in the wash - IF they don't mind sitting on a sheet, which they generally don't like.
I use a wet dishwashing glove with one swipe across the area, it's all gone!
To minimize the amount of effort and reduce shoulder pain, try using these methods while you are still in bed (you can mostly make your bed before getting out, too). Ive found that the velvety lint brushes work well on fabrics, and are more economical since you dont have to keep purchasing sticky refills.
