The £1 hack to remove pet hair from clothes – one woman tried it and was ‘ashamed' at how much came out
IF you've got a four-legged pal, you'll know how frustrating it is to find hairs covering your laundry.

Taking to Facebook, Sarah Jane Hively revealed how she used a common beauty buy to tackle the annoying problem all pet owners are too familiar with.
According to the cleaning whizz, a member of the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips group, the secret remedy is Velcro hair rollers.
That's right, the rollers not only work wonders for giving you a fancy hairdo but they can also remove stubborn pet hair with no faff - and you can find them for just a quid at Poundland.
All you need to do is simply throw a couple of them in the washing machine, put it for a wash and let the rollers work their magic.
Once the wash has finished, you can rub the rollers together to remove the hair - or you can pick the strands off - and then they're ready to use again.
If you don't have a Poundland store nearby, plenty of other retailers are selling the hair must-have too, such as Savers and B&M - there's really no need to fork out for fancy ones.
However, you should be careful to not wash any delicate items, such as silks or woollens - as the hack could damage these garments, one woman recently warned.
However, other than these, the rollers work wonders when they're put in the drum.
Sharing the game-changer of a hack online, Sarah also uploaded two snaps of the rollers - and the jaw-dropping ball of hair that came out of them.
''The lady that said about Velcro rollers in the washing machine for pet hair...omg I'm ashamed,'' she chuckled in the caption of the post.
Doctor shares why you must never wash clothes at 90 or 40 degrees & the right temperature for 'everything but gym gear'
''Works a treat! Thank you.''
Replying to other fans of Mrs Hinch, Sarah also said: ''These are Poundland cheap Velcro ones.
''They haven't pulled mine (clothes) ..i'm guessing the Velcro isn't as strong as ones purchased from Boots.''
10 Grossest Areas People Forget to Clean
By Danielle Mason, who has 20 years of experience
Under and Behind the Fridge
Crumbs, dust, and spills accumulate over time, attracting pests and creating bad odours.
Shower Curtain & Liner
These collect mildew and soap scum but are often overlooked. Wash or replace them regularly to keep your bathroom fresh.
Toothbrush Holder
One of the germiest places in the bathroom, filled with bacteria and toothpaste residue. Rinse and disinfect it weekly.
Dishwasher Filter
Food particles and grease build up, leading to unpleasant smells and reduced efficiency. Remove and clean the filter every few weeks.
Washing Machine Seal
The rubber gasket traps mould, mildew, and detergent buildup. Wipe it down with white vinegar and leave the door open to air dry.
Light Switches and Remote Controls
Touched daily but rarely cleaned, making them germ hotspots. Wipe them down with disinfectant regularly.
Under the Sofa Cushions
Crumbs, dust, and even lost items hide in the cracks. Remove the cushions and vacuum thoroughly.
Kitchen Sink & Plughole
Food residue builds up, causing bad odours. Pour boiling water, bicarbonate of soda, and vinegar down the drain to freshen it.
Ceiling Fans
Dust piles up on the blades and gets redistributed into the air when turned on. Use a microfibre cloth or pillowcase to clean them easily.
Doormats
They trap dirt and bacteria from shoes but are rarely washed or vacuumed. Shake them out weekly and deep clean them every month.

And people in the comments section were quick to praise the pet owner for sharing the hack, which has been liked more than a whopping 9.3k times.
As fans tagged their friends and family, one said: ''I wish I'd seen this and hour ago, I've just put some cat blankets through.''
A dog lover chimed in: ''I've got 5 spaniels….this is a game changer.''

Bermuda shorts are surprisingly flattering – if you get the length right
It's safe to say that the prospect of shorts is, for many, unnerving. They can bring up all kinds of conundrums, from how to elegantly bring sun-starved legs out of a prolonged period of hibernation to which length to go for. Luckily, recent catwalks and current collections have been fairly unanimous in their endorsement of one particular style: Bermuda shorts. With a traditionally straight cut and longer length, the style is named after the island on which it is said to have originated. Some say they were conceived by heat-stricken British soldiers taking a pair of scissors to their uniforms, while others claim the inspiration came from local tea shop owner Nathaniel Coxon, who devised them for his staff. Whatever the precise source, they've been all over the catwalks for both men and women at the likes of Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Fendi and Chanel in everything from chalky linen to checked wool. The message has been very much received; John Lewis reports that searches for Bermuda shorts were up 381 per cent on its website in May this year versus the same month in 2024. For men, the interest is likely a welcome break from soaring shorts hemlines – see Alexander Skarsgård appearing on Lorraine in a five-inch pair by S.S. Daley, or Harry Styles stepping out in skimpy Adidas stripes. But while men's micro-shorts enter the mainstream, longer styles remain the most wearable. Look to Uniqlo for a reliable denim option, or Carhartt and Acne for neutral patterned styles. It's a similar case in womenswear. If you're bold enough to don Daisy Dukes, more power to you. If not, there are plenty of fashion-forward alternatives out there. There's linen at & Other Stories, cotton at Cos and even suede iterations at Massimo Dutti. When it comes to denim, 'jorts' (aka knee-length denim shorts) have been an enduring fixture over the last couple of summers; as with jeans, it pays to invest, so look to premium brands for the longest-lasting versions. 'We've had jorts in the collection for a few seasons now, as they are a really great, versatile piece to have in your summer wardrobe,' says Annalisa Dalma, commercial director of Italian denim brand Haikure. 'I particularly love wearing mine with a strappy heel and top on summer evenings but they look equally great worn with flats and a relaxed shirt during the day.' Clearly, this is a trend that doesn't come up short in the style stakes. The best Bermuda shorts to buy now For women For men Shopping by Hansveni Dave

Zara McDermott breaks silence on Sam Thompson and Louis Tomlinson's pitch-side run-in as she insists it is 'non-existent drama' and discusses focusing on 'real relationships'
Zara McDermott has opened up about her split from Sam Thompson for the first time, revealing she's found the 'non-existent drama' around the break-up 'frustrating'. The Love Island star turned presenter, 28, made headlines this year following the end of her and the former I'm A Celeb winner's relationship in January. They'd enjoyed five years together, with much of their romance documented on Made In Chelsea, but Zara swiftly moved on with One Direction star Louis Tomlinson, 33. Zara and her new flame seemed smitten as they enjoyed dates and romantic getaways before Louis and Sam came face-to-face for the first time at Soccer Aid earlier this month. A seemingly awkward interaction ensued, with Louis reportedly blanking Sam following the match at Old Trafford despite holding 'peace talks' at the team hotel earlier. The woman at the centre of the drama was however nowhere to be seen, with Zara now admitting the reaction to her love life has been 'frustrating'. Addressing their pitch-side run-in, Zara told The Sun: 'The only thing in my life worth writing about is the work I do.' The star also revealed that, despite still posting glamorous snaps to her Instagram, she no longer spends much time on social media and is more grounded in her 'relationships'. 'I don't care about social media as much as I used to, or about the aesthetic or the image, I value so much real relationships and real support around me, and being that to other people,' she added. 'I'm a totally different person to the one I was when I was 21 years old and stepped into what appeared to be a glitzy world of showbiz, my day to day life is not at all glitz and glamour.' After Zara's moved on with Louis back in March, Sam also found himself a new love interest a couple of months later. The reality star - who recently completed an incredible five-day trek from London to Manchester - became involved with Love Island beauty Samie Elishi, 25. Sam and Samie first sparked romance rumours when they shared a passionate and steamy smooch outside Olivia Attwood's birthday party in May. But just this week MailOnline exclusively revealed that the couple had called a time on their fling due to conflicting working schedules. Sam's endeavours with charity in recent weeks coupled with Samie's jet setting with brands to countries such as Greece and Spain reportedly meant a relationship for the couple was not feasible. A source told MailOnline: 'Sam and Samie's romance just fizzled out, there was so much attraction between them initially, but their busy schedules made it difficult for them to spend quality time together. 'For Sam, it was his first relationship since his split from Zara and the feeling is he would rather concentrate on work before getting into another long-term commitment.' And Sam seemingly got straight back to work on finding a new romance, with the star spotted on celebrity dating app Raya just hours after the end of his latest romance. Snaps on his profile showed the reality star at Soccer Aid earlier this month, as well as posing alongside famous pals, including best friend Pete Wicks and fellow I'm A Celeb campmate Marvin Humes. The split came just a day or so before Zara and Louis were spotted putting on a loved-up display as they enjoyed a stroll through Glastonbury on Thursday. The pair cut low-key figure as they soaked up the Somerset sun at the iconic event. The split came just a day or so before Zara and Louis were spotted putting on a loved-up display as they enjoyed a stroll through Glastonbury on Thursday Meanwhile Zara, who also sported sunglasses, wore an black adidas top with dark trousers and tied back her long blonde locks in a ponytail. Louis donned a graphic football shirt which he teamed with black cargo trousers and shielded his famous features beneath shades and a baseball cap. It came just hours after Louis was spotted smoking with friends in what was believed to be a lad's only trip and weekend of partying. The pop star later supported Zara, who he was first linked to in March, as she spoke on a panel for charity Refuge, for a talk entitled How to Create Societal Change: Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls. A source told The Sun: 'Zara looked a bit nervous but kept smiling at Louis and he made sure he was in her eyeline and was beaming back at her. 'It was really sweet to watch, they certainly seem very smitten with each other. 'He disappeared just before it ended so he could go back stage and be reunited with her, but it was heartwarming to see him being a dutiful, loved up boyfriend.'
