Removing Burrs from wool pants/bibs
« on: October 25, 2017, 07:01:00 PM »
any suggestions for getting a ton of burrs on wool.  I got my wool pant legs covered in them! other than picking them off one by one?  Any body got any tips?

Thanks,

Kevin

9S-
3Rivers has a tool or brush that removes burrs very nicely! It's pretty cheap and works great! My 2 cents!
Good Luck!

Rub them on a Golden Retriever, everything sticks on them.

A sponge... Get them good & wet, then a stiff bristle brush

I have a dog comb with Teflon coated spines that works well to lift them off wool.

Start with the coarse teeth and work to the fine for the little tick-burrs and pieces.

I picked up a Burz Off thing from the Asbells at Comptons.  It works surprisingly well.

I just toss them in the drier, the heat and action takes them off, watch wool in drier though, clean lint trap after and dont tell wife....

Be very careful with Burz Off, you'll end up with holes all over, it will wear out your clothes.

Fold your wool neatly and put it in the drawer with  wife's sweaters. Should be completely free of burrs in a couple of days.   ;)

Charlie, I'm sure that would work but, I'd have to find another place to live afterwards. LOL
I would've taken better care of myself,if I'd known I was gonna live this long!
