How to Use ChomChom Roller: Step-by-Step Guide

The ChomChom Roller removes pet hair using a manual brush system. Many people use it like a traditional tape roller and get frustrated. The key is understanding the back-and-forth motion that activates the brush mechanism.

What You Need

• ChomChom Roller
• Surface with pet hair (couch, bed, carpet, car seat, clothing)

Step 1: Position the Roller

Place the ChomChom Roller flat against the surface you want to clean. Make sure the brush side is facing down and in full contact with the fabric.

Step 2: Roll Back and Forth

Push the roller forward in a short stroke (about 6-8 inches), then pull it back toward you. This back-and-forth motion is what traps the hair. Do not roll in one direction only—the mechanism requires the reversing motion to work.

Step 3: Use Short Strokes

Short, controlled strokes work better than long sweeping motions. Roll forward, roll back. Repeat in overlapping sections until the area is clean.

Step 4: Empty the Chamber

When the chamber fills with hair, press the release button or handle catch (depending on your model) to open the waste compartment. Discard the collected hair and close the chamber.

Step 5: Continue Cleaning

Repeat the process across the entire surface. The roller works on couches, beds, carpets, car seats, and clothing.

Tips for Best Results

• Use firm, even pressure. Too light and the brush won't engage the fabric.
• Work in small sections rather than trying to cover large areas at once.
• Empty the chamber frequently. A full chamber reduces effectiveness.
• For embedded hair, go over the same spot multiple times.

What Surfaces Does It Work On?

The ChomChom Roller works on:

• Couches and chairs (fabric, velvet, microfiber)
• Beds and blankets
• Carpets and area rugs
• Car seats and car interiors
• Clothing (sweaters, pants, jackets)
• Cat trees and pet beds

Common Mistakes

Rolling in one direction only: The brush mechanism requires back-and-forth motion. One-direction rolling does not trap hair effectively.

Using long strokes: Short strokes (6-8 inches) work better than long sweeping motions.

Not emptying the chamber: A full chamber reduces suction and trapping ability. Empty it when you notice reduced performance.

How Often Should You Clean?

Use the ChomChom Roller as needed. For heavy shedders, daily use on furniture and weekly use on carpets keeps hair under control. For light shedders, weekly or bi-weekly use is usually enough.
