Does anybody know where to find those little white upholstery pill removers? It seem like no one stocks them any more. They are some real time savers to remove pills and pet hair. I would like to put 3 of them on a handle to make a big one. ( if I can find them.)

We use a Pummus Stone. Never thought the Pill shavers worked that well unless they've upgaded.

I'm not talking about the shavers. I looking for those little 3" removers that are like a very short brush. They are kind of like Velcro for lint, pill and hair. I don't like to use pumice because it flakes off and makes it's own mess.

Never seen one. Is it like a fancy shark tool or what?

The hair has me interested fellas, thanks ; )

They are small but they work very well. They kind of hook or are like velcro for hair and pills. They seem a pit pricy for such a small thing. But are worth every penny if you get a sofa covered with hair and pills.

I never liked them they seems to tear the pills away still leaving it a little fuzzy. I like electric razors they seem to be faster. Pumice or Zeego block work well in removal but stick and then need vacuumed or cleaned afterwards.

Here are a couple of sweater combs that looks similar to that velcro doo dad.

Dave for Hair I think nothing beats a "Horse Sweater" You can find them at Farm/Feed stores.The handle and rubber blade make it real easy to use. It's kind of like a Squeegie for Horses.:yoda:

I bought some of those sweater combs and they are crap and just not the same. I wore out 3 of them on one couch and it stll had alot of hair. The one like I'm looking for will last for hundresd of sofas and do a better and faster job.

I don't want to offend you but you're foo*in CrAzY! :rockon: It's one of those things where they won't pay you for all the time it takes for you to remove them.

I'd buy some of those combs and sell them to the homeowner.


Get a pair of electric clipper get it done fast and go on your crazy way. Is everyone in Nebraska nutz? :p
