Heavy shedders leave a particular kind of mess. Short, stiff hairs bury themselves in the couch and ride along on every pair of dark pants. One of the best-known reusable tools for that job is the ChomChom Roller. The PurePath Glove is a newer option, at the same $24.99 price on its maker’s store. The two work in quite different ways, and that difference is likely to shape which one suits a given home.

What heavy shedding does to fabric
Shedding isn’t steady for most dogs. The American Kennel Club puts the heaviest stretches in spring and fall. Thick double-coated breeds such as Golden Retrievers, it notes, are more likely to shed all year. For owners of those breeds, “shedding season” is mostly a matter of degree.
The type of hair matters as much as the amount. Long, soft fur often sits loose on top, where nearly anything can collect it. Short, stiff hairs slip into the weave and hold on, which is why a sofa can look clean from across the room and still coat a sweater.
How each tool works
The ChomChom Roller is a reusable roller. You push it back and forth over the fabric to lift the hair, then clear out what it’s collected. Its maker points out that it needs no tape, adhesive or batteries, and pitches it for pet beds, couches, pillows and clothes.
The PurePath Glove goes about it differently. In PurePath’s description, a tightly woven 5 mm electrostatic mesh pulls hair out of the weave into clumps you can peel off. PurePath pitches it at cat, dog and rabbit fur, whether short or long, and its suggested spots run from sofas and beds to car seats, rugs and clothing. Cleanup is a rinse and an air dry.
Where the PurePath Glove’s design shines
A glove goes where your hand goes, and that’s the main advantage of its design. Seams, the gaps around car seats, the sides of a pet bed and the arms of a chair are likely easier to follow with a palm than with a roller. The shape may suit clothing as well, since a pair of jeans takes a few strokes on the way out the door.
PurePath backs the glove with a 60-day guarantee from the day the order arrives, sale items included. You email support@purepathshop.ca with your order number and wait for a reply before sending anything back. If the glove arrives damaged, defective or wrong, PurePath pays for the return. For anything else the postage may fall to you, and support confirms that first, so there are no surprises. Approved refunds usually land within 10 business days.
Practical limits on both
Hard floors still belong to the vacuum, and both tools are manual, so a big sectional takes time either way. How much any hand tool lifts also depends on the fabric and how deeply the hair has settled.
FAQ
Are the PurePath Glove and ChomChom made by the same company?
No. They come from different makers and use different designs.
Can I use the PurePath Glove on my dog or cat?
No. It’s a cleaning tool for fabric, not a grooming brush.
Which design may suit your home
The PurePath glove may suit you better if your heavy shedder spreads hair into car seats, chair arms, seams and clothing, where a palm can follow the shape more easily than a roller. The written 60-day guarantee is a comfort on a first order, too. Both cost the same, so where the hair in your home tends to end up is a sensible way to decide. Prices and terms as of October 2026.
