Episode Details

Michael made theatrical masks for a living. One day he dropped a sticky silicone mask on the floor of his house, full of pet hair like every dog and cat owner's floor. When he picked it up, it was covered in fur. That accident became Fur Zapper.

Em talks with Scott about how a dropped mask turned into a reusable, biodegradable laundry tool that actually works on pet hair, why it took time to get customers to trust something so different from a lint roller, and where the product is headed next.

You'll hear:

• The full accidental origin story behind Fur Zapper, straight from a dropped theater mask
• Why the "catch and release" mechanism confuses people at first, and how it actually works
• Where Fur Zapper is expanding next, including vet clinics and grooming studios

Press play if you've ever wondered whether there's finally a real solution to pet hair everywhere.
