New product battles pet hair

We love our pets, but pet hair is a frustrating thing to keep on top of as a cleaning chore. The war has a new weapon: Fur Fighter by 3M.

Fur Fighter is a new system for hair removal that was introduced in April. It uses a curved-handled tool, fitted with disposable sheets with tiny rubber fingers to pick up much of the hair that vacuums and sticky lint rollers may miss. It can squeeze into hard-to-reach corners and cushion seams. My sister, who has two Siamese cats, says it’s the best thing she’s found for this problem.

The basic starter kit with five sheets sells for around $10; eight-sheet refill packs are $5.
