How to Get Rid of Lint on Clothes

As you wear and wash your clothes, small fibers from the fabric’s outer layers tend to detach, forming lint that clings back onto the garment. While there are preventive measures like emptying pockets before washing or using dryer sheets, there comes a point when you need to tackle lint that has already accumulated.

No need to worry, though! Removing lint is a straightforward process, and this guide will help you navigate through various methods. Check it out!

1. Lint-Roller

Let’s start with a simple solution – the lint roller, readily available in most supermarkets’ laundry sections, as well as textile and pet stores. Unwrap the roller section and roll it across the fabric you want to clean. You’ll notice the lint sticking to the roller.

As it becomes less adhesive, peel off a layer to reveal a fresh, sticky sheet underneath. Continue rolling to effectively remove lint from your clothes.

#2 Lint Brush

If a lint roller is not available, consider using a lint brush as an alternative. Resembling a hairbrush in shape, these brushes have a pad instead of bristles to catch lint.

Similar to the soft side of velcro, you need to brush the pad against the fabric to collect lint and remove it. The key is to brush the entire garment in one direction, starting from the top and moving towards the bottom hem.
