I have tried the method (put baking soda and white vinegar), but still 50% of the lint on my clothes especially fleece items... what should I do then (except using lint brush)?

That is lint. Probably coming from your towels. Always wash your towels separately. wash dark colors separately. Buy a lint brush or roller at wal-mart to remove the lint when clothes are dry.

This could be detergent residue. Detergent residue builds up over time. It seems that more and more detergent manufacturers are adding extra ingredients to their formulas in order to differentiate their products and brands.
Manufacturers are changing their formulas all the time. Differences in water quality and washing machines can affect the performance. For example, some additive ridden detergents will prove problematic for one family, but seem to pose no issues for the next. The amount of detergent used may be different, as may the ratio of detergent to water; they may have used more water, softer water, or harder water – you get the idea! Cautionary words that can warn you of additives include “brighter”, or “whiter”. But if you choose a detergent with no residue, you know you are safe!
Avoid detergents with fabric softeners, brighteners, stain guards, and “natural” additives. Natural additives are most likely in the form of oils. “Natural” Soaps. In actuality all soaps are natural, which is what sets them apart from detergents. The problem with soap is that the minerals in water react with those in soap, creating an insoluble film. This film can leave a residue and turn clothes grayish
Surprisingly, some of the cheaper detergents work quite well because they have less concentrated detergent....Sun for example. So try washing using less of your selected detergent.
To get what you have clean again, try running them through a wash cycle or two without any detergent and with the hottest water possible for the fabric.
Or run one wash, without detergent and then run a second wash using 1/2 cup baking soda and 1/2 cup vinegar in this second wash.
1/2 cup vinegar again in first rinse cycle.
Run a second rinse cycle with plain hot water to rinse out the vinegar.

try this get some dryer balls as they reduce drying time and also reduce static cling and help soften your clothes. i use them all the time they cost about 20 bucks at the bay. secondly clean out your lint trap it may be clogged and not allowing the lint to be blown out of the dryer properly.

run a cycle with rags and lots of vinegar and small amount of detergent. Then run a water only cycle and that should do it. I work in a laundry mat and that is what we do.
