How to

1. Grab an old pair of synthetic tights.

2. Glide the pantyhose over the sofa where the hair has accumulated.

Result

There you have it—all the cat hair clings to the pantyhose with zero effort! :-)

This method works wonders for cat or dog hair alike, and it's a smart way to upcycle those old tights.
