Honeycomb care and cat hair

Just for removing the lint

Perhaps getting an older, used dryer, that maybe the heater doesn't work on any longer, and use it strictly for it's tumbling and filtering benefits BEFORE washing the item normally in your washer.
Then you can use your current dryer to finish.

Well I can tell you all this much...

I took this picture about 2002 when I washed our black lab Gladys' blanket that was full of her dog hair. It was washed in my first 1958 solid-tub GE Filter-Flo washer. I clearly remember not finding one hair left in that blanket lol! I didn't have an original copper pan at that time so I made one out of a 70's pan to fit that agitator.

Oh Chris I had another idea I just thought of to share with you. You could take your Pulsamatic and overfill it by about 2 gallons, the take the drain hose and put one of those drain hose filter screens on it and angle it over the tub and start it pulsating. This will cause a recirculation filtering system very similar to the GE picture I posted in the reply above this one.

You may not even need a filtering screen on the drain hose if there is a layer of suds in the outer tub. Suds also work well to capture hair and lint in the outer tub. I remember that worked quite well when I had designed that "Super Unimatic" which I incorporated a recirculation system into it.

I have little doubt all of that pet hair will float over and be caught in the screen!

recirculating filter

Yes Robert I had the same idea. Get the Pulsamatic overflow-rinsing, with the drain hose going back into the tub via a filter screen or bag. I'm busy at present, it will be a while but that's what I will do.
