Umm, ... just be thankful you don't have a German Shepherd in your house coating you and every thing in it with undercoat?
I don't know what your couche is made of, but try flouring it as much as it can hold, rubbing in the flour with your hands, then scraping it all off with a plastic scraper. The loose fibers and excess flour should come off with the scraping.

Mark's idea sounds eminently sensible. Regarding couche, Pat's Couche Chronicals is a worthwhile read. This thread is useful too.
I use these bread pans. For me, it's much easier for home use.
