I don't know if its because some of my fleece isn't very fluffy... but the liners i made are nearly trashed as i have nearly brushed a hole through them trying to get hay and hair off ! I have since bought some fluffy fleece but not using them until i get my new C&C cage... i have got some fleece which probably isn't going to be suitable for making liners as it is very flat if you know what i mean.. i will have to use that for something else !

Lol the fleece I have that isn't fluffy is a nightmare getting hay and hair off. I give it a brush then use a sticky roller for getting hair off clothes...in IKEA they are less than £2 for 4 and they last ages, got loads of layers in...scared to put them in the washer without using the roller as worried it'll clog it up!
 
I find I don't have much hair or any hair at all on my fleece after washing it once or twice. Mines a fluffy one, but I give a good shake (aka frantically waving about in the garden) and the most comes off before it goes in the wash. Like others have said, I'd try getting a roller thing. You can also get one in Home Bargains - at least my one, anyway!

What about a slicker brush? That's silicone/rubber

I have tried to find one but have had no luck.. I've got a regular one that came with the dustpan and a stiff bristled one - which is the one that has probably ruined one of them as its too stiff !
 
No not Even with the cheapest e bay stuff , though It is no were near as comfortable as the green back
 
Any fleecy items I tend to smack against a wall outside or garden furniture. Sometimes wave them around above my head or batter them against my leg in some sort of Morris dancing style :lol!:
 
The hair gets stuck in my fleece, but with consistent brushing I manage to get most off. Sometimes on the lazier days (:P) I just use a lint roller. Works like a charm!
 
Try a rubber curry comb. You will find them in most horse places, or search 'rubber curry comb' on ebay, it will come up with a rubber oval shaped horse brush that is fantastic for brushing hair from things, fairly cheap too!
 
Hah, lol, nope my liners are stuck with hair, a lot do come off in the wash but yeah I think it's just normal really, one of the liners had ermm boar glue on it so think yourself lucky you've got non of that rofl.
 
None of my liners get rid of all the hair, my mum took the last load out of the washer and said... 'Theyre still hairy but they've been washed honest!' :P
