I wouldn't consider myself a full-on clean freak, but now that I'm a proud cat mom, I notice daily cleaning rituals are happening more often. Since I welcomed my bundle of fur home (a domestic medium-haired cat), you can imagine the amount of hair that has accumulated around my apartment, most noticeably on my rug.
And I can't blame my girl Luna for all of this hair, I'm equally as guilty for how much I shed, too. Even my expensive vacuum doesn't do the trick, I still see hair intertwined between the rug threads. But then I got my hands on this "ultimate fuzz remover" gadget and took it to my rug. I was shocked (and appalled) at how much hair it picked up, and the amount that had been just living within my carpet.
After being thoroughly impressed with my rug results, I thought, what else can I use this on in my apartment?
What is the Gleener Fabric Shaver and Lint Brush?
According to the brand, the Gleener Fabric Shaver and Lint Brush can be used to pick up pilling, lint, pulls and more on almost any fabric and upholstery, from cashmere sweaters to furniture. It's battery-free and comes with three interchangeable blade types, and the other end is a lint brush.
After seeing the insane results from my carpet, I opened my closet and sifted through my clothing and coats to see what needed some tender loving care — and I was not disappointed.
Why I like the Gleener Battery-Free Fabric Shaver and Lint Brush
Every spring, I take my well-loved winter coats for dry cleaning before I pack them away for summer. But this year, my favorite coat started forming pills and pulls; it was looking pretty shabby. A few swipes of this fabric shaver had it looking as good as new. I imagine it even saved me an upcharge at the cleaners, too.
This household gadget is pretty easy to use. I mainly used the heavy-duty blade because I was working with tough fabrics like my rug and coat. It comes with a travel bag, too, so you can store all the blades. I highly recommend utilizing the bag, because the blades are easy to misplace ... I already lost one.
You can even use it on delicate fabrics. As a cat owner, I'm constantly covered in fur, and if you're anything like me and live in leggings, then you know that everything clings to the fabric. Initially, I was buying the sticky tape lint rollers, but the lint brush side of this shaver worked just as well. Plus, you will never have to worry about changing the sticky tape or running out in a time of need.
What to consider
- Handle with care. While this cleaning gadget is a breeze to use, you don't want to go to town on your items. If you press too hard, you can not only snag your clothing, but the blade will easily pop off.
- You'll end up using it on everything. If you weirdly love satisfying "before and after" cleaning content, this fabric shaver is for you. The results are so impressive that you'll find yourself going around your home looking to see what else needs a quick facelift — it should come with a warning on how addicting this tool can be.
