Velcro Hair Trap

I have a sheddy dog. He sleeps in a shed but that's another story. This is more to do with the fact that he leaves short brown hairs all over everything wherever he goes - and because he goes where I go, that includes me. Often I get egged by irate PETA hit squads for wearing fur (but on the upside I'm always warm in winter). Thank god he's not a longhaired dog or I'd resemble Chewbacca (again, that would have its upsides but I can't think what they are at the moment).

This surfeit of fur (furfeit?) is dealt with by my beleaguered Hotpoint which (bless its little plastic soap-tray) can never quite manage to swallow a weeks worth of hairyness and instead stores some inside its internal gizzard for regurgitation onto the next load. As a result, dirty but hairless clothes emerge clean but hairy (with nice clean hair, mind you) which drives me bananas and contributes in no small amount to my various neuroses (no doubt my obsession with brackets is also a by-product of this hairy stress).

Some of my clothes and other belongings fasten with velcro (I suspect that halfbakery users will (on average) possess more than the 'normal' amount of velcro devices) but many of them fail to operate correctly due to clogging. As many of you may have noticed, velcro hooks tend to clog when used in areas exhibiting high background levels of hair. (You know where this is going don't you...) (No?) (Ok then, hang in there.)

One square foot (one foot square?) of velcro (hook-type) added to the wash should be enough to absorb all the hair from the wash and trap it in its greedy tendrils. Afterwards you can remove the hair with a special velcro-comb, from where it can be transferred to the bin (or incinerated if it makes you feel better (which it won't)).

A hairless wardrobe can be yours.
