when I wash my black laundry it comes out of the washer with lint on it, how do I resolve this?

Question

All of the laundry is is dark colors, dark blue and black. The materials is mostly polyester.

NO ONE IS REALLY READING MY QUESTION........

I NEVER SAID IM DRYING MY CLOTHING, MANY OF THESE ITEMS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HUNG UP, AND NOT DRYED....

DOES A WASHER HAVE A LINT "TRAP" TO BE CLEARED OUT???

Answer 1

Be sure your washer is clean--- maybe run it once with only water in it. Or wipe it out with a damp (lint-free)cloth. Sometimes lint clings to the sides after washing other linty things in a previous load.They don't have lint traps to clean, as most of the stuff flows out with the water.
Of course, make sure you check all your pockets... bits of stuff can be in them that cause lint.
I always make sure I use a liquid detergent with dark clothes, as powders can leave white residues. (Not your question, but hey, a helpful hint)
Other than those things, I have no idea.

Answer 2

Are you washing them with something that gives off a little more lint, such as a sweater or similar article. Something(clothing wise) you are washing with everything is probably causing the problem. Next time you go to the store you can pick up a lint roller for about a dollar. This helps.

Answer 3

Try cleaning your washer by running it without clothing for one or two times, perhaps the last time with a cup or so of white vinegar. This should clean out anything that might be in it. When washing your darks, be there is anything, especially tissues, in any of your pockets. Tissues (the biggest culprit), sweatshirts and all things fuzzy and warm usually cause the lint.

Answer 4

maybe the lint trap in the dryer isnt cleaned out, you have to make sure its cleaned out before you dry because if you dryed before someone had towels or a blanket in there then thats where the lint may be coming from. Also try washing your dark clothes inside out, that way the lint if any, sticks to the inside not the out
hope i helped!

Answer 5

If the fabric is polyester, most likely you are drying in a dryer. Have you tried using fabric softener sheets in the dryer? These normally work to remove the static cling in the fabric, and the static cling is what is holding the lint to the fabrics. So if you haven't already tried this, get yourself some fabric softener sheets and try it out.

Answer 6

When I launder clothing that shouldn't be machine dried I only put it in the drier for long enough to fluff and remove lint then hang on hangers to finish This method also removes most wrinkles and stiffness . Five or more minutes is usually enough time.

Answer 7

If you don't have alot of black clothes put them in a pillow case and see what happens but turn the the pillow case inside out and tie it tight with a string then wash

Answer 8

The dryer should capture most of your lint! Be certain to clean the lint screen,,;-)=

Answer 9

there are some items like cotton fleece sweat pants that have a lot of lent, and when you wash them it comes off. try separating your clothes not only by color but by fabric content.

Answer 10

Turn everything inside out before washing. I'm serious.
