Grass seeds and Velcro

[Kim Farley via Canberrabirds <>]

Haha, David. This is a tricky one that also applies to small furry dogs. I have tried picking out the individual seeds and prickles from my small furry dog - which is a tedious business as she and l go for a good walk every day. Lately I have softened the seeds and prickles by wetting the woofer down and then combing the seeds out. Helps a fair bit, though needless to say the woofer is unimpressed with the wetting down. Might work for gaiter velcro too. A bit of soap might soften the seeds even more.

Cheers

Dear CanberraBirds brains trust.

This spring and summer have seen a bumper crop of grass seeds.

The Velcro fasteners on my gaiters have become increasingly clogged up with
them.

I asked Siri for help. Her suggestions were unhelpful.

One option is to continue to pick the grass seeds out one by one, but that's
really hard to do.

Another is to give myself a New Year's present of new gaiters, but that
would be wasteful.

Does anyone have any other (helpful) suggestions to proffer?

With thanks.
