Trixie Lint Brush, 33 cm is a reusable brush for removing pet hair, human hair and lint from clothes, furniture and other fabrics, from the German brand Trixie. It's made of hard-wearing plastic with an ergonomic handle and comes with a cleaning base that strips the collected hair off the brush. The manufacturer offers it as an alternative to sticky rollers: it lasts a long time, saves money and creates no waste. It's grey.
How a lint brush works
When moved in one direction, the brush's pile surface catches hair and fluff from the fabric and collects it. You then run the brush across the cleaning base, where a comb removes the hair, and it's ready to use again. No tape that runs out or loses its stickiness — just one brush for years.

How to use it
Brush the fabric in one direction with short, firm strokes — the hair will collect on the pile. Don't go back and forth: on the return stroke, collected hair can be left on the fabric. When hair builds up on the brush, run it over the cleaning base. Empty the hair from the base now and then and wipe it with a damp cloth. It's handy to keep the brush by the front door for a quick once-over before going out.
How to reduce hair at home
The brush deals with the result; grooming deals with the cause. Brush your pet regularly, especially during shedding, so the hair ends up in the brush rather than on the sofa. Suitable tools include the Ferplast GRO 5762 brush for everyday care and the FURminator dematter for tangles. Seasonal shedding tips are in autumn shedding in dogs and cats, and home grooming advice in caring for your dog's coat at home.
Caring for the brush
The brush needs little care: clean it on the base after each use, and every few weeks pick out trapped hairs from the pile with your fingers or an old toothbrush. Don't wet the pile or dry the brush on a radiator, as the pile can lose its shape and pick up hair less well. Keep the brush on its base in a dry place so the pile doesn't get crushed.
Brush or sticky roller
A sticky roller is good for travel and quick touch-ups on clothes, but the tape runs out fast. A reusable brush is better value at home, where hair appears every day on sofas, armchairs, bedspreads and throws. Many people keep both — the brush at home and a roller in their bag.
Who it suits
Cat and dog owners, especially those with shedding or long-haired pets, who want to clear hair off furniture and clothes quickly without consumables. More cleaning products are in the home cleaning and comfort section, and pet grooming tools in the grooming tools section.
Verdict
The Trixie Lint Brush is a handy reusable 33 cm brush with a cleaning base that quickly gathers pet hair and lint from clothes and furniture and replaces sticky rollers. Economical and waste-free. Use it in one direction only, and use other tools for your pet and for rugs.
