Is there a washing machine strainer for dog hair?


My former Mother-in-law had a sort of strainer that was placed on the middle part of the washing machine and when the tub filled up, and the hair and other small debris floated to the top, it caught the stray stuff in the basket/ filter/ strainer thing whatever. My doggies shed alot and I could use this… and idea’s?

    I think older models had these… I remember them from the laundrymat….

    I would guess that they have somehow found a way to eliminate the need for these basket inserts with the newer model washing machines.

    If the dog hair isn’t clogging up your plumbing…. I can’t see why you would want the basket…. just wash and dry as usual and the hair will be gone.

    I’m sorry that I don’t have an answer for this, but I’m intrigued, and will certainly be awaiting the responses!
