An improved device and method for gathering up loose pet hair, lint, and other fine debris from a variety of surfaces. In the preferred embodiment, the device includes a handle and a blade. The blade is made of an elastromeric material that is flexible. Exposed surfaces of the blade have a rough, crinkled, pebble-grain texture, such as crepe rubber. The blade is greater in height than in thickness; greater in width than in height; and wider at the bottom end than at the top end, where it is connected to the handle. The handle of the device is held by the user, while the bottom end, side ends, or front and back surfaces of the blade are placed on the surface to be cleaned and dragged with slight pressure across the cleaning surface. The blade dislodges, grips, and gathers up loose pet hair and other fine debris into a wad so that it may be removed by hand or by vacuum suction.

A personal grooming device designed to loosen and remove dirt and other debris from the surface of a material, such as a shirt or jacket. The grooming device comprises a handle, an inner cage fixedly attached to the handle and sized to receive a travel-size lint roller, an outer cage sized to fit over the travel-size lint roller, and an outer sleeve made from moleskin sized to fit around the outer cage. The outer sleeve may be constructed from an piece of adhesive-backed material wrapped around the outer cage or a single piece of cylindrical material sized to snuggly fit around the external cage. The outer sleeve may be made from other materials. In use, the sleeve loosens debris from a surface after which the external cage with sleeve is removed to expose the lint roller. The lint roller then picks up the loosed dirt and debris.
