If you have pets, you already know—hair gets everywhere. And once it’s in your clothes or bedding, it’s not easy to remove.

Why Pet Hair is So Hard to Remove

Pet hair:

Clings to fabric fibres
Builds up in washing machines
Doesn’t always rinse away

Common Mistakes

Throwing hairy items straight into the wash
Overloading the machine
Skipping the dryer

How to Remove Pet Hair Properly

1. Remove Excess Hair First

Shake items outside
Use a lint roller or brush

2. Wash with Space

Don’t overload—hair needs room to lift away.

3. Dry Thoroughly

This removes remaining hair and prevents it sticking back on.

Why Laundromats Work Better

Commercial machines:

Have stronger cycles
Better airflow in dryers
Larger capacity for proper movement

At The Speedy Bubble Laundromat, pet owners regularly use our machines to properly clean bedding, blankets, and pet beds.
