How to remove pet hair from clothes if you don’t have a lint roller – you probably have a pair at home
EVEN the most stylish outfit can be ruined if it’s covered in pet hair.
But rather than using a lint roller or chemical products to remove the hair from your clothing, you can actually use an object commonly found in the kitchen.
And what’s that? A pair of kitchen gloves.
According to Apartment Therapy, all you need to do is rub your clothes – or any other fabric that you want to remove the hair from – with the gloves.
The friction between the glove and the fabric creates static that forces the pet hair – and other lint – to stick to the glove.
Another way is to wet the rubber gloves before use.
All you’ll need to do is dampen the gloves before rubbing them over the fabric, as the hair will stick to them.
Once you’re done, simply rinse and store them for another time!

To continue freshening up your wardrobe, a cleaning expert shared that you can use Listerine to remove sweat stains from your clothes.
Grabbing a spray bottle, fill it up with mouthwash – in this case, Listerine – and thoroughly spray the armpits of shirts that have sweat buildup.
You then let the shirts sit for 10 minutes before throwing them in the washing machine for a normal wash cycle.

But why Listerine? Well, Listerine was originally manufactured as a surgical antiseptic, according to Grunge.
Creators first used to prevent patients from dying of sepsis during surgeries but because they weren’t making enough money out of this one use, they decided to market it differently.
After that, it was said to cure dandruff and function as an aftershave, along with floor-cleaner and even treatment for STDs.
But that STILL didn’t hit it off with consumers so it was claimed to kill bacteria in your mouth, which prevented teeth loss.
And therefore, the Listerine you know now was born.
But just because it’s manufactured from a healthy mouth doesn’t mean you can’t use it for some of its original uses.
