“Fur-Zoff” Grooms Horses, Cleans Up Pet Hair
 ✖  |
“It started as an industrial product but one idea led to another, and we’re still uncovering new uses,” says Chris Andersen, about “Fur-Zoff”, a soap bar-sized gray block made from recycled glass that removes pet hair from furniture, clothing, car seats and floors.
“Lots of people have contributed to finding uses for it,” Andersen says. “A taxidermist was the first to suggest the hair-removal idea. Then a little girl came up at a trade show and asked if the product could remove bot-fly eggs from a horse’s legs. Turns out it worked great for removing that and also for grooming horses.”
Fur-Zoff is made by grinding recycled beer and wine bottles into a fine powder, then mixing the powder with a binding agent. The mixture is sent through an extruder, emerging as pliable 6-in. long oblong plugs. The plugs are then baked at 1,550 degrees F. The glass melts and the bonding agent produces a gas, which forms the bubbles that create the rough texture of the Fur-Zoff block.
A testimonial from the company’s website states: “Your product is the greatest hair removal item I have ever used and I count it as a miracle in my two-dog household. The first couple of weeks after I got them, I worked on every carpet in the house. I couldn’t believe the amount of dog hair that I ended up with!”
Sales of Fur-Zoff have grown by 25 percent annually for the past 5 years and Andersen says they’re still finding new applications. “My wife and I were photographing eagles along the Mississippi River one day, and I managed to collect a heavy load of burs on my coat and pants,” he says. “She suggested I try the Fur-Zoff on the burs and it worked great. I got rid of the burs a lot faster than if I had had to pick them off by hand.”
Fur-Zoff costs $12.99 on the company’s website and comes with a 100 percent lifetime guarantee. Anderson says they never wear out. It can also be purchased online at similar prices.
