About this deal

Knitted or woollen sweaters should ideally not be spun at all and should only be left to air dry flat. If you have one of the newer, bigger sized washing machines, 2-4 Lint Lifters are recommended per 5kg+ wash. Other than taking the garment apart and using one of those devices for shaving off lint balls, I don't think the shirt can be repaired.

An example includes a black pair of pants that’s been washed with a white cotton towel – you’ll see that the lint has a different color than the actual piece of the fabric itself. If your fabric shaver is small and the garment is covered with lint balls, you may need to stop and empty the collection chamber before all of the balls are gone. Even if we take special care when washing out clothes, it's simply impossible to keep them looking like new forever.

This will then give your smooth fabric a rough texture filled with white piles of tiny pieces of fiber: lint.

Key Takeaway: To remove pilling from your clothes, try using a lint roller or tape, a razor or sweater stone, or an electric fabric shaver or pill remover tool. It's always a good idea to fasten zippers on jeans and hoodies, and buttons on shirts to reduce friction. This can lead to the fabric fibers becoming tangled, creating those pesky little fabric pills on your laundry. By following our tips for preventing pilling during normal wear-and-tear on your clothes made from polyester or heavier materials such as wool blends, you can avoid having those pesky little pills form in the first place. This is also how to get fuzz and pills off sweaters which can show up on this loose fabric even after the most careful washing.This could include avoiding wearing a backpack with your favorite top, reducing your layers to prevent fabrics from rubbing, or choosing a tightly woven fabric as your second clothing layer. And if you’re dealing with holes or tears in your clothes, be sure to check out my tutorial on darning with a sewing machine for easy repairs. Key Takeaway: To prevent pilling on clothes, choose fabrics with a tighter weave and higher thread count.

This tool has an adjustable blade that quickly and safely removes the pilling from clothes without damaging the material. Whether it's a lint roller, clothes brush or razor - there are many ways to remove lint, pilling and fluff from sweaters and clothing in general. This was always present on the shelf right at the entrance and was used always to brush jacket shoulders and pants.

If you opt for a brush with a wooden handle and natural bristles, this is not only more sustainable, but also gentler on your sweater. Whether you choose to use natural solutions or more traditional methods, removing pilling from clothes is an easy process that anyone can do. While chemical fabric softeners can sometimes cause fibres to stick together, you should use a normal, mild all-purpose or wool detergent when caring for your sweater, depending on the fabric.

Unfortunately, there is little one can do once the lint is formed, so we will deal later with some methods to prevent it from forming in the first place. To further protect garments from lint balls, it's essential to know how to properly care for them when washing and drying. Fabrics such as wool, polyester, acrylic, and nylon tend to pill more easily than natural fibers like cotton or linen.

Loosely woven woollens are vulnerable to pilling; on the contrary, closely-knit tight fabrics don’t pill easily. I don’t have an explanation, probably because microfiber is extremely good at creating static electricity and it attracts lint?
