I bought a fleece sweat suit and first time I washed it balled up and has lint all over it. I followed the washing instructions and that is what happened. I have used all kinds of lint brushes and nothing has worked. Any suggestions please to how I can get all the little lint balls off?

Thanks,
Vicki from Texas

I don't know if it would work on fleece, but when I was young my husband's police uniform pants would get pills in the front across the stomach area and I went over them lightly with sandpaper. I would dig around in his shop equipment and find a piece of the sandpaper whenever I needed a new piece. One piece would work for several times.

Just tried one of the suggestions for this same problem - I washed a pair of black pajamas and got so much lint. I rewashed several times, then got this wonderful suggestion.
Wash item in water and white vinigar - worked like a charm.

Is it made with acrylic fibers? Don't ever buy anything made with acrylic - they are the worst for fuzz balling up!

Sometimes going over the surface with a rubber glove will pick up lint and pet fur.

going over it lightly w/ a arazor works pretty well. just remember to be light handed, you don't want to knick the fabric
