Hair on clothing - many dog owners are already familiar with this and most of them don't particularly bother them.
The situation is different with dog hair in the washing machine.
Faithful eyes and a wet nose, dogs are considered by many to be
man's best friend
.
They quickly stole the hearts of their owners.
Even faster, however, their hair just ends up everywhere, even on their clothes.
Many quickly got used to this, but dog hair also collects in the
washing machine
.
Then they can do a lot of damage.
From simple
repairs
to
replacing
too much hair, everything is included.
However , you can avoid this with a few
simple
tips .
Dog hair in the washing machine: this is how you can prepare your clothes
Before you put the
clothes
in the washing machine, try to remove as much dog hair as possible from your pants or sweater.
For example, shake the clothes
out well first.
If this is not enough, then go
over the clothes with a
special brush .
The hair sticks to the brush.
You can also simply use a
lint roller
.
How to protect the washing machine from dog hair
Grooming:
Brush your dog every day if possible.
This reduces flying dog hair.
Washing machine:
Do not fill the washing machine more than 2/3 full.
If you fully load the machine, dog hair will not be rinsed out as well.
Change of coat:
If you wash dog blankets, it can make sense to first put them in an old microfibre duvet cover and then put them in the washing machine.
Care:
Put a little vinegar in the washing machine.
It has a similar effect to fabric softener, disinfects and decalcifies.
Dog hair collects on clothes and in the washing machine.
They should be removed regularly, otherwise there is a risk of repairs.

Dog hair in the washing machine: prepare clothes in the dryer
If you have a
dryer
then you can also prepare the laundry in it.
For example, use the
cold program
, which loosens the hair from the clothes and then you can easily wash them and remove the hair from the dryer.
Attention:
This does not apply to combination devices such as washer-dryers.
Tennis balls and hair curlers catch dog hair in the washing machine
If you can't get the clothes free of
dog hair
, you can simply put a few utensils in the washing machine.
Two
tennis balls
magically attract dog hair.

Alternatively, you can also simply
put hair rollers
in the machine.

After washing, you can take off the hair.

Old nylon stockings as a savior for the laundry
Nylon stockings can wear out or break quickly.
Then they often end up in the trash can, but that doesn't have to be direct.
Tie the
nylon stockings
together and put them in the machine.
Dog hair gets caught in the fine stockings.
After washing, you can throw the nylon stockings in the garbage can with a clear conscience.
Collect dog hair with washing balls
If you don't have tennis balls at hand, you can also use special
washing balls
.
They are made of a similar material to hair rollers and catch the hair when you wash it.
A little tip:
the washing balls can also be used as cat toys.
When playing, the cats then collect the hair in the apartment.
