Stand-alone device that pulls lint and hair off of all fabrics with electromagnetic charge

a. Similar to personal steamers, for individual pieces of clothing

b. Solves a persistent problem for many pet owners

c. Inexpensive input parts

Why it will work: modern fabrics oftentimes attract and retain hair and lint; difficult to remove with rollers and brushes; pet owners are plagued by the quantity of hair that is shed; increases personal professionalism; alleviates significant hassle

I like this product and I think it will benefit a lot of pet owners. Can it be used in upholstery, too?

Thanks for the comment Alicia. I suppose it could be used for any fabric. Perhaps you could push the idea forward :)

A portable electromagnet that would collect hair and dust more effectively than a suction vacuum could sell. Rubber brushes and brooms do not generate enough static electricity, why not have a wand that attracts the hair? I’m not smart enough to come up with the actual device, but this idea has haunted my imagination for years. I know I’m posting a little late, but if someone could produce this, I’d buy one in a heartbeat. PS It’s “Lint,” Lent is observed by christians around Easter.
