How to de-fur chenille throws?
My chenille blanket is super soft but now full of short dog hairs caught in the loops. Washing makes it less fluffy over time. Looking for a dry cleaning trick that preserves the texture.

My chenille blanket is super soft but now full of short dog hairs caught in the loops. Washing makes it less fluffy over time. Looking for a dry cleaning trick that preserves the texture.
Chenille’s looped texture traps hair deep. I shake it outside vigorously first, then use a wide pet brush to lift what I can without snagging. The remaining hairs need strong adhesion. I’ve found lint rollers for pet hair extra sticky are perfect for this—they grip the fine hairs in the loops without pulling fuzz out if you roll lightly. Work in small sections and peel frequently. Keeps the throw cozy-looking between washes.
