Gives great advice on how to solve a problem; then encourages others to come forward with their methods and tips because he’s always looking for a better way to do man👊🏼...That’s the only way to live.

Love that you get right to it. Short and sweet, even with the ‘complex’ illustration. Even better, it’s effective.

I recently had surgery and had all this dog and cat fur stuck in the Velcro of the back brace, the first time I tried getting fur out with a needle and it took forever.. Your trick had it done in minutes, I'm so grateful you made this video. It would have been so expensive to replace a brace like this, thank you so much!!

Thank you for sharing this because this is the second pair of gym shoes with velcro strap and I'm tired of wasting over $100! I wish I would have known this sooner but I didn't know you could clean Velcro so I just threw his shoes away. 👊🏾

I couldn't find a comb so I used needle nose tweezers. Worked great. Wish I could show you the before and after pictures. Thank you for the idea.

I used an eyelash comb which is a little bit more rigid and close together, it worked beautifully!! Thanks for the tips!!

I did not look at any complex diagram mentioned in the other comments… I listened to you from afar. I got an old comb like you said, and I went to work on the Velcro that was on my Robo vacuum that has the mop attachment. There was so much cat hair and my hair stuck in the wheels and on the Velcro! The black comb works really good and then pulled out large pieces with my fingers and my hand held vacuum to vacuum it up and pull out what I could with tweezers. Thanks for the advice and the lint brush did not help much. But it was a clean job!

Thank you for this video. I have been trying to clean the velcro out of a walking cast for months and it has been driving me crazy. I cannot wait to get straight at your technique!

[jacksharkey]

Works really well, thanks. Also if you end up blowing out some of the hooks doing this, you can just trim them off with a pair of scissors.

Awesome video! I use a lot of industrial strength velcro in my home recording studio to keep cables and devises organized on a wall and beyond etc. spent over a $100 the past few years at the fabric store on this stuff. This video just saved me... THANKS!

Excellent advice. It was easy to do and easy on the Velcro! Thank you!

[moniquec]

used a old tooth brush, just cut the bristles short so they are strait, did a pretty good job. thank you.

Much easier to clean than replace! You rock!

I have shoes with a tiny bit of velcro and it works amazing thanks 😊

[PappysCorner]

Now I don't have to pick off with fingers and tweezers. Great job and helpful, thanks.

Bought a new leather couch today and the cushions want to slide from all the build up under the cushions. This is dope. Thank you.

[corrsfan]

Thx for this. I’m hoping your tricks and tips will save me from buying another back support. It’s only the Velcro letting it down.

Thank you so much. Velcro is clean and looks new again 😊

Thanks a lot man. Worked like a charm. I am shocked at two things. How much lint I accrued just like you said and how clean the Velcro got. Usually with my weight belt for my back that means I have to throw them out. Now all I have to do is use a $.50 comb and lint brushes I already have!! Thanks a lot
