The ChomChom Roller is quite different from your typical sticky lint rollers, especially when it comes to tackling pet hair. Sticky rollers use adhesive sheets to grab hair and lint, but they run out quickly since you have to keep replacing those sheets. On the other hand, the ChomChom Roller is reusable and works with a different method.
According to the manufacturer's description, the ChomChom Roller is particularly good on solid fabric surfaces, like sofas, beds, or even car seats. Our research backs this up. It does well on tightly woven textiles or where the fabric's supported by something solid, like upholstery. It's got this neat system where you roll it back and forth to create static electricity, which helps collect the hair into a little chamber.
Now, for clothes, especially like coats or delicate fabrics, the ChomChom might not be your ideal choice. It needs the fabric to be pretty tight to generate the static needed, and that's not always easy with clothes you're wearing or looser fabrics.
We've found mixed feedback on using the ChomChom with clothing because you can't always get that secure hold on the fabric to generate enough static. Some folks we've heard from noted that while the ChomChom doesn't work as well on all types of clothing, it does pull a decent amount of hair off surfaces it's better suited for.
If getting hair off clothes is your main goal, the standard sticky lint rollers might be more up your alley since they just stick and lift hair, but be ready to go through a lot of sticky sheets.
So, if you're mostly dealing with pet hair on furniture, the ChomChom Roller could be a game-changer. It really shines when there's a firm surface behind the fabric to help it work. For clothing, though, it's probably a good idea to have both kinds in your cleaning arsenal to cover your bases.
Overall, if your focus is more on having a fur-free home rather than a fur-free wardrobe, the ChomChom Roller is a handy tool to add to your cleaning routine.
