OXO vs. Lilly Brush: two ways to clear furniture fur
Compare the OXO FurLifter Furniture Brush and Lilly Brush Mini Blade by hair collection, cleanup, price, and what to check before buying.
If you’re choosing between the OXO FurLifter Furniture Brush and the Lilly Brush Mini Blade, start with where you want the fur to go. OXO has a base that collects it for later emptying. Lilly’s rubber blade gathers it into a pile that you pick up. That difference gives you a useful way to choose, even without a promise that one will clean your couch better.
This comparison uses the manufacturers’ published details, checked October 1, 2026. We haven’t tested either tool. It covers these two furniture-cleaning options, not grooming brushes or every reusable hair remover on the market.

Prices are USD for one tool on each manufacturer’s site, checked October 1, 2026, before tax and shipping. Check the current total before ordering. Sources: OXO Furniture Brush, Lilly Mini Blade, and Lilly’s use and cleaning FAQ.
OXO’s arrows show the brushing direction; turn the brush over to work the other way. Its system requires no replacement lint sheets. The base still needs emptying, so include that step when deciding whether the routine suits you. OXO details
Lilly markets the Mini Blade for short to medium, wiry hair embedded in fabric. Its upholstery FAQ uses the name Mini Pet Hair Detailer and describes sweeping hair together with the rubber edge. That’s the manufacturer’s intended use, not a finding that it outperforms OXO. Lilly product details · Upholstery FAQ
Choose for one problem spot first
Our suggestion is to write down the job before buying another tool. “The cat’s end of the couch” is a more useful starting point than “all the fur in the house.”
- What surface are you cleaning? Find the furniture’s fabric name and care instructions. If compatibility is unclear, ask the furniture maker and tool seller about that exact material before ordering. A general furniture claim doesn’t answer every upholstery question.
- What is your current method missing? Describe whether you’re picking individual hairs from the fabric, repeatedly peeling lint sheets, or finding the cleanup awkward. Use that description when comparing tools; don’t assume a different shape guarantees a better result.
- Which final step would you rather do? Empty a collecting base, or pick up a gathered pile and wipe a small blade? Include where you’ll keep the tool between uses.
If a collecting base is the feature you want, OXO is the closer match. If you want a compact blade to try for the embedded hair Lilly describes, look at the Mini Blade. You don’t need to buy both to start answering one household problem.
The pages we checked don’t establish which removes more hair from your particular furniture, how long the job takes, or whether either will replace your current routine. Keep those questions open until you’ve tried the chosen tool according to its instructions.
For a purchase you decide to make, put your actual checkout total into the pet budget planner. If the chore is washing a raised dog bed, our cot-cover cleaning comparison covers that separate job.
