Does anyone know how to keep shirts (especially sweatshirts) free of lint, fuzzies and other fabric remnants after you wash them in the washing machine? I've tried almost everything and they look worse coming out of the wash than what they do going in. And those sticky tape-rolls get expensive after a while. Help!!

add 2 sheets of bounce in the dry cycle after cleaning filters / lint traps. Dow.... helps to but very much of it and your towels they won't absorb water

I wash mine in COLD water and alone, not even with other black fabrics that may have hidden white batting which can leave white bits. Cold will keep the sharp black color. Use a liquid fabric softner in the rinse, and if using the dryer, clean the lint screen FIRST! Good luck, Amy N

Wash them inside out, and go to the dollar store and get a big roll of thick masking tape,and use that to remove and excess,I agree the tape-rolls are expensive ,especially the way I use them./

Put them in the dryer under "fluff" or under a "cool dry". It won't shrink your sweatshirts and the lint and fuzzies will get trapped in the lint trap.
Good Luck.

Turn them inside out before washing.

be sure to clean your lint filter everytime before you use your dryer...if clothing items are not heavily soiled try to wash them in cold water on a delicate cycle, tumble dry them on low heat.. this should take care the fuzzies.

When you are sorting laundry, sort not only by colors, but also by fabrics. Wash jeans with only jeans, sweats with sweats, cotton fabrics with cotton fabrics, and especially towels with only towels.

Always wash them by themselves, and make sure the pockets are empty.
