Easy Way To Brush Burs Off Clothes
![]() |
BurzOff is made by grinding recycled container glass 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 BurzOff block.
The block has 3 sides. Two are flat and at a right angle to each other, and the other is curved to fit your hand.
“The 2 flat sides each have a different coarseness. Which side to use will depend on the kind of burs you have and the kind of fabric,” says Andersen. “You place the 90-degree edge where the two sides meet against your clothing, and as you flick the block downward the burs fly onto the ground.”
BurzOff sells for $9.99 plus $4 S&H.
