depends on the tool. if it is a comb-like brush as in your google find, then the catch-all pembersih remah fits. if it is one that is an adhesive roller, used specifically for removing hair, lint and other fuzz from fabric, carpet, sofas, etc, then penanggal bulu gebu fits better.

In the beginning, I would like to use almost similar translation to the suggested term, because 'fuzz' is 'bulu gebu' in PRPM. However, when I entered the term in Google search, its result showed hair remover (mostly for women). I found more common usage, such as 'penyapu remah' or 'pembersih remah' or 'pembersih bulu dan habuk'. Like this one: https://shopee.com.my/1Pc-Sikat-Pembersih-Penyapu-Remah-Koto... What is your thought on this? Thank you in advance.
