An open booklet of 40 LIntZapper sheets

LintZapper 4-by-3-inch sticky sheets.

When I head out to photograph a vehicle for a review on MaynardsGarage.com, I grab my detailing go-bag. In it, I keep several microfiber towels, spritz bottles of quick detailer and glass cleaner, a tape measure, and a multi-tool. I also carried a lint roller until I sampled LintZapper.

It irks me to photograph an interior and see bits of dirt, gravel, and whatever else gets dragged onto the floor mats. A lint roller is good at picking up the big stuff but not so much for getting into crevices. That’s where a sheet of 4-by-3-inch LintZapper excels. I can press it firmly on the stubborn bits and slide it into areas where the roller can’t go.

Car enthusiasts who display their rides at a show can tidy up the interior for the “Clean Car” award.

A pack of LintZapper is lightweight, compact, and much more effective than those tiny travel lint rollers.

LintZapper sheets are sold in a slim booklet of 40 sheets. A three-pack costs $8.97, not including shipping from FurZapper.com.

FurZapper for Home Bliss

The palm-size FurZapper

Use FurZapper in the washer and dryer.

I know many of my car enthusiast friends have furry friends, too. While we seldom complain about picking hairs from clothing, a lint roller is just a part of life. However, the company that makes LintZapper also makes the FurZapper.

This simple disc-like device could smooth uncomfortable relationship discussions about too damn much fur on clothing and bedding.

The FurZapper is made of a flubber-like tacky material. It temporarily grabs onto pet fur or human hair in the washing machine. The palm-size FurZapper is about an inch thick with open dog-paw cutouts.

Toss one into the wash cycle, and FurZapper will gather loose fur and hair. In the rinse cycle, it sends the accumulated fur down the drain. Then, use it again in the dryer cycle, which sends fur to the lint trap.

The company says that FurZapper is small enough to fit between clothing as it tumbles and oscillates. What the FurZapper doesn’t remove, follow-up with a LintZapper.

The FurZapper two-pack.

The company says the specialized material does not allow any material to stick to it permanently. Nor will FurZapper stick to clothing or the sides of machines. Wipe it off after use; it could last hundreds of washer and dryer cycles.

A two-pack is $15. The company recommends using both when the pet owner has multiple shedders in the household.

Shipping is free over $35, and to help you get to that level, the company sells other fur-grabbing inventions. For example, there is the FurZapper Pet Grooming Glove, $12.99. Or opt for the Ultimate Pet Owner Bundle, $29.99, which includes two FurZappers, one Grooming Glove, and three LintZapper packs.
