My motto has always been, "If something isn't the way you want it, MAKE it the way you want it!" SO..., when i discovered this cool new product from Pledge (since i have two hair- infested cats!), i had to try it out, and i can tell you that it works GREAT! Much better than any other clothes brush i ever had! So the Pledge company is on to something here, except for one thing - it's made to be disposable. The instructions even tell you, "Do not try to empty or disassemble disposable sweeper". Of course not.Then you would have no reason to throw it away and shell out ANOTHER 5 - 6 dollars for another one! Plus, what happened to the "greening" of our country? This product has a LOT of plastic to be throwing away every few weeks - NOT acceptable! So this was my solution:
i did try to empty it! Oh, it's made to NOT disassemble-i looked at the bottom and the seams, and if you tried to take it apart, you'd ruin it. But, all I did was to take a razor knife, cut a door in the top area the trapped hair is in, pull out the hair, and tape it back up! Taa-DAA! Good as new!
Well, it's not real pretty, but so what? i just saved five bucks! And i'll continue to save 5 bucks every time i empty it in the future! Even solved the one problem i had with it - i have dry hands, and it would slip out of my hand at times, but the tape is easier to grip - so i just improved it as well!
Hey, Reuse, Reuse, and Recycle, right?!
