How about combing them? We have found that combing during
shedding seasons of Spring and Autumn seem to help them a
lot. Here, we've found that a flea comb seems to work best at
such times. Yes, bathing can help also dislodge some loose fur
that causes itching, but be careful to try also use a conditioner in
shedding seasons to keep skin more comfy, or a pet shampoo
with conditioner in it.
