I never had this problem with my old top-loader (it had a lint trap). With this washer, though, from day 1 my clothes have come out with these lint/hair balls firmly stuck to them. (Sometimes they look like little laundry spiders. Alas, they don't come off in the dryer.) I'm interested in hearing about what other people have tried--I've heard about velcro balls that are tossed into the wash but have yet to read any comments from someone who has actually tried them.

All the answers I've received so far indicate that I should (a) get rid of my pets and/or (b) clean my clothes of all pet hair before putting them into the washer (meaning that by making the switch to a front loader, I've essentially increased my own work load).

get rid of the pets and buy nylon clothes, they do not create lint and do not get hair on your sofa, or in the washing machine.

I have the same problem, and I found this :
To get rid of lint on clothes, add 1/2 cup of vinegar to the rinse cycle.
To prevent lint from sticking to clothes, add 1 cup on vinegar to each wash load.
~~
I've been using it for months now, and it seems to be doing the trick.... plus every now and then ( once a month or so ) I pour 1 cup of vinegar into the washer and run it through a regular cycle without clothes in the washer. I think it may be that since everything like hoses, tub etc seem to be de-gunked, there's less chance of the "fuzzies" building up.
I hope this helps.....

I always had a top loader for years so when I got my front loader I was wondering where the lint trap was. It took me a while to realise that there wasn't one but I did notice that lint tended to collect in and around the door. I give that a clean every now and again and it seems to prevent any lint balls from forming.
I DEFINATELY frever my front loader!

only 2 ways possible, go ahead physically remove the pet hair before putting it in the wash by using those lint sheets, secondly put it in the dryer so it may remove it for you.

Using a Fabric Softener in your wash Cycle will help alot. I would also throw a Downy Paper softner in your dryer. Both of these should do the trick and are easy to do. I Love my Dog, but she does lose her hair also.

Try those micro fiber clothes in the wash and dryer they tend to be like vel crow and everything sticks to them! I buy them to clean with and they are great! P S buy them in the automotive section and you get like a dozen for 6 dollars! Good Luck!

if you put white vinger in your wash at the same time you put your fabric softner in it will reduce the amount if not all the hair and lint in you laundry.
