Dog hair in office chair wheels.

[Dandred]

Any dog owners found a decent way of removing hair from office chair wheels?

I've just bought a nice chair and it has already started picking up hairs, in my old chair they basically split the wheels apart. For the new chair I'm going to burn them out every week or two, but is there a better solution? Veet, maybe, but would that mess up the wheels?

I've seen guides suggesting taking them a part, but I was hoping for an easier fix.

have you tried putting strips of brown tape on the floor sticky side up and rolling the wheels over?

Blowtorch.

And depilate the dog.

You’re going to set fire to them every week or two? That sounds like an imperfect plan tbh.

You must have very weird wheels that they could be rent asunder by stray dog hairs. Picture?

That looks like something out of the Doctor Who special effects department.

You could try running a vacuum cleaner around occasionally

Wtf is this thread I can’t even visualise how dog hairs are destroying your (second!) office chair wheels, plus how the hell are you going to burn them off I need more details and video if possible

If you mean they get wrapped around the axle then you just have to unwrap them in the other direction

well that works with grass and a strimmer anyway

On the plus side, you'll never get a hangover while you're typing.

Nuke the chair from orbit. It IS the only way to be sure.

its not going to be one or two thick hairs is it, the build up will slowly force the plastic fixtures apart until the wheel splits, in much the same way as the final straw broke the camel's back.

Yes but wouldn’t the hairs have to be quite long for that to happen? How long do dog hairs get?!

Six inches for collie x alsation tail hairs I just measured.

Depends on the dog. But long.

Hoover the hairs up..

Or hoover the dog..

Maybe you could immerse the whole chair periodically into a bath full of that toxic drain cleaning fluid that dissolves all things organic.

I was thinking along those lines. Get some plastic bags and immerse each chair wheel in the solution overnight. Rinse off with a hose or something in the morning.

shave the dog?

Spoiler

I never would do such a thing

I thought this might have been a thread about a new Harold Budd album.

I’ve got four dogs and two seem to moult all year round . Even though I hoover the room they are allowed in every morning the wheels on the hoover still end up being matted with dog hair . I end up using a scalpel to cut the hairs and tweezers to pull them out . Soul destroying .

 

[BillRiver]

Get a desk chair that doesn't have wheels?

 

[Dandred]

Here are some pics. Also to add I do have six dogs.
