Dog hair overload on my bed


Question Posted Tuesday January 26 2010, 1:32 pm

Ok so I have two dogs ones a border collie mix the others a husky mix. Needless to say that's a lot of hair. I vacuum every other day and that seems to keep it under control but I need some advice on what to do with my bed!

My dogs sleep with me every night. They shed. A lot.

I used to have these cheap sheets I bought from target. They were 100% cotton and they were actually really good for the dog hair I could shake it and it would all fall right off. Problem was they were cheap sheets and thus poor quality sheets, I wanted something better.

So I recently went out and bought some good sheets. They too are 100% cotton but more expensive and higher thread count. But these new sheets are like duct tape to the hair. I can shake and shake and shake and it just clings right on there. The only way to get it off is to use a lint roller...but it takes like 30 sheets of the sticky stuff!

I want some nice quality sheets that I can shake the hair off of. But I can't understand the difference in the two because they are both 100% cotton.

Is there something to do with the higher quality that attracts the hair?

What is the best kind of sheets for me to get that will be able to release the hair?

Hi, A higher thread count means a tighter weave the hairs are trapped inside the fibres. Have you ever concidered giving the dogs there own bed off the floor of course. this would save your linen. why bother with top grade sheet if the pets are going to ruin them. I might be tough separation for you especially but the dogs will get use to a bed of there own. other wise try and get a hold of these sheets that work for you and your pets.

Well, nice quality sheets covered with dog hair makes them not so great! LOL.

Go back to the cheaper ones if those worked. Just buy some extra ones. :)
