There is a product that will help keep bits off a wool coat ? for last winter i brought a dark navy coat from m&s ,i had money and a gift card for birthday so i decided to put them towards a new coat its a lovely coat smart, warm and looks good dressed up or down the only problem is it attracts bits i only wear it once and it looks covered so next time i want to wear it i have to clean it down with one of those sticky rollers, i had it dry cleaned a few months ago and told them the problem i was having they couldn't come up with a solution so I'm passing the problem on to you folk .

As the owner of a white haired dog I can confirm that the only thing whihc works for me is a rubber clothes brush with fine teeth (are they called teeth on a brush?) I use it when I am about to leave the house, when I put anything like nice wool coats away and in between when necessary. I try to avoid tissues, anything woolly and pale and hope that the beautiful dog doesn't greet me when I am coming in/ going out. I find the rubber brush so much more effective than the sticky roll things but a bit harder work.0

The coat sounds lovely and, if the weather forecast is to believed, will be very necessary in the coming week(s).
Alas, I have no solution. It is a well-known fact that there are two kinds of dirt - the dark kind which is attracted to light-coloured objects and the light kind which is attracted to dark-coloured objects.
(Is there a Scotch Guard for clothing?)0 -
Blinking heck Sticky just googled it ,amazon came up with scotch guard for fabrics and upholstery and is suitable for clothing.Mig0

On second thoughts, isn't it just a stain repellant not a 'bits' repellant0

It's for stains - my mum was very excited to use it on my clothes when I was little...I can't think why :roll:0

Hi Mig..I was just going to say the waterproof stuff for clothing helps ,its similar to scotchguard..but see SW thought of it...I have a navy one and it does help..and keeps the rain off..x0

Hope someone finds a solution. I have a lovely black coat which is often covered in white dog hair from either my daughter's dog I'm looking after for a while or my son's dog when I visit or get in my his car.0

We are a house full of hair shedders (particularly we girlies) so I use sellotape !

Perhaps we could find a way to get paper hankies that have been through the washing machine off of fleeces?0
