"This sponge is not only good for removing pet hair from your furniture, clothes, carpet, drapes...but my Australian Shepherd (sheds enough to knit a new dog!) just LOVES to be petted with it. It removes hair that is about to be shed before you have to find it again. I have 2 of the Four Paws Magic Pet Hair Removers, one is kept with the cleaning supplies and one beside my chair for "petting' any time he comes by for love. Keep a ziplock or bin handy because it picks up a lot!! These last for years, too."
