How do I get the fuzzy fluffy lint off of my shirts?

Question

I tried the lint brush but it doesn't get all the fluff off.

Answer 1

First we need to figure out how the lint got onto your shirt.

If the lint is loose fibers rolling into a tiny ball or pull, primarily on knits, (called pilling) you need a sweater stone. This will catch and clip the pills, and make the fabric appear newer for an extended time. Link below.

If the lint is loose it came off something else. What were the shirts washed with? The color of the lint may give you a clue as to the item that is loosing fibers. Sometimes a new shirt will lose fibers in the wash once or twice. If you wash a towel with anything else there will be lint from the towel. Wash new items, especially dark colors, with similar tones, and separate clothing types in general when washing.

Make sure your dryer lint trap is clean. First off your clothes dry quicker, but secondly a clogged lint filter could be preventing lint from exiting the tumbler. Most importantly, many fabrics take on a static charge in the dryer which makes lint cling to them, so use a anti-static sheet in your dryer. When you got lint you really need the sticky-tape roller. Simply roll the sticky tape over your clothes. Then, peel off the lint covered tape exposing a new, clean tape below, and rewrap the roller in its vinyl cover.

Answer 3

Lint brushes, packing tape, and razors are all good answers.

Make sure you clean the dryer screen in between each load, and that you don't wash your shirts with things that will leave lint on them, like towels and fluffy sweaters. I know from experience those things will cause problems.

Answer 4

If it is a sweater then take a very dull razor and wipe it across and make sure not to dip into it. If its a tee-shirt then buy a lint roller or use a piece of duck tape to pull all of the fuzz off.

Answer 5

You can use a shaving razor to remove lint from clothing. Don't push real hard but enough to get the lint.

Answer 6

get a lint roller. they have them at dollar general for $1. it's a handle with a roll of sticky papers that you can peel off for a new one after each use. or if you have duck tape handy you can press it onto your clothes and then peel it off and it will take off any extra fuzz and lint.

Answer 7

lint brush

Answer 8

Try really sticky tape... Wrap it around your hand backwards so the sticky part is exposed. Then rub it on the lint. I use that gray heavy duty tape... it works best.

Answer 9

Packing tape. Wrap it around your hand sticky side out, then brush your shirts with it.

Answer 10

dont wash your shirts with anything fuzzy like towels, you might have to really sit down and pick all the fuzzies off, then wash carefully with like clothing.
