What Are These U-Shaped Hair-Like Things

✅ Are They Dangerous?

No — they’re harmless, just unsightly and potentially irritating for neat freaks. They don’t pose health risks or signal anything serious like pests.

🧹 What Should You Do?

• Identify the source (worn Velcro item)

• Replace or repair it if possible

• Vacuum thoroughly with a brush or upholstery attachment

• Use a lint roller or tape to pick up stubborn fibers

🛡️ How to Prevent Them:

• Keep Velcro items off the carpet when not in use

• Lay down rugs or mats in play areas or entryways

• Inspect Velcro for wear and replace as needed

• Clean regularly to keep fibers from building up
