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
