Easy Way To Brush Burs Off Clothes
“It works much faster than picking burs off by hand and also saves sore fingers,” says Chris Andersen about “BurzOff”. Made from recycled glass, the soap bar-sized grey block is designed to remove burs from all outdoor clothing, from denim to fleece.
BurzOff is made by grinding recycled container glass into a fine powder, then mixing the powder with a binding agent. The mixture is sent through an extruder, emerging as pliable 6-in. long oblong plugs. The plugs are then baked at 1,550 degrees F. The glass melts and the bonding agent produces a gas, which forms the bubbles that create the rough texture of the BurzOff block.
The block has 3 sides. Two are flat and at a right angle to each other, and the other is curved to fit your hand.
“The 2 flat sides each have a different coarseness. Which side to use will depend on the kind of burs you have and the kind of fabric,” says Andersen. “You place the 90-degree edge where the two sides meet against your clothing, and as you flick the block downward the burs fly onto the ground.”
BurzOff sells for $9.99 plus $4 S&H.
