FurZapper alleviates a hairy problem with pets: shedding fur. Animal-loving Maker Michael Sweigart has two dogs and a cat, and a home full of fur. Using his background in theatrical masks and chemistry, he developed a silicone solution that’s safe and softly adhesive. Instead of clinging to clothing, fur and dander stick to FurZapper.

Drop a squishy silicone paw into the laundry, and it will remove hair from clothing and linens in the washer and dryer. Want to address the problem at the source? Pull on a silicone grooming glove to gently stroke loose hair straight off your pet.
