I'm buying my own home and the closing date is approaching .. I'm going to be buying new furniture and I'm wondering if anyone can suggest the best fabric for pets? I have one dog.. whom I adore.. but he leaves a trail of white hairs pretty much everywhere he goes. I had a red microfiber couch most recently and that was a nightmare. So .. any suggestions?


Thanks

I hear you pain. I have a light color dog and a dark blue couch, not a good match. I have given up and keep it covered with a "dog colored" blanket that gets washed about once a week. Doesn't help that she sleeps on it when we aren't looking.

I have a Golden Retriever, and a dark brown fabric couch. You get the picture. The best, fastest, easiest way to get rid of the fur is simply to put on a dry rubber dish glove, and wipe your hand over the couch. The fur balls up into a little roll. It also gets alot of the dirt off the fabric. Give it a try.
