To remove lint off sweaters...Use The Mr. Clean magic eraser

Post By erica kaiser-texas (Guest Post) (03/17/2008)
Mr. Clean! Mr. Clean! IS THERE ANYTHING THE "MAGIC ERASER" CAN"T DO? The only thing that worked for caked-in fuzz and lint on a 89%acrylic/9%nylon/2%spandex 'super soft' sweater was the Magic Eraser! The inside and outside were both solid caked-in, down in the nap of the sweater. I used the all-white MAGIC ERASER sponge that is "Extra Power" (the box has a hot pink swirl across it). Thank You Mr. Clean!

*accept no substitutes! Spend the extra change on the name. It works great!

Great ideas, except the one about a damp wash cloth. It doesn't work - not even slightly.

Well I washed my dark uniforms with a maxi pad and there is white lint all over them. Help. I need them for work. How do I get it off?

A damp sponge gets lint off of any fabric. Just be sure the fabric can tolerate water first.

Some great ideas! I'm looking forward to first trying the vinegar in the wash load, and possibly following up with the scouring pad if necessary. Hopefully, that will save my work uniforms and some nicer pants. Thanks!

I would definitely agree with the green scourer. My hubby put a nappy in with his black work trousers, only thing that got rid of the lint. I did it when they were still wet

Rub a slighly damp cloth one way down the clothing it removes the lint. It has worked for me.

HELP - a disposable diaper got thrown in with the wash and really did a job on my husband's shirts. Lots of lint. Anyone have any ideas. We have tried everything we can think of. Thanks

Sister and I are trying this as I type. I had a really nice sweater poncho and it was covered in lint, but we took a blue-white two sided sponge and wetted it a little bit, wrung it till it was damp and then scuffed it over the sweater and it started removing lint really well.

If you find your lint roller empty and have animal hair, or lint, on your clothing, just roll a piece of tape, (I use masking tape), sticky side out, around your 3 middle fingers and dab the areas and the hair/lint will come right off.

Here's a quick way to make a lint remover in a pinch. Roll up a magazine and tape both ends. Then wrap another piece of tape around the top of the roll, sticky side out. When the stickiness wears out, add a new piece of tape.

A great way to remove lint or animal hair from clothes, furniture and bedding is to take a Playtex glove and sweep it with the glove and vacuum the hair. It really works well.

I have found that simply dampening my hand and rubbing it over a garment is one of the best ways to get off lint and pet fur. It is easiest when the garment is being worn.

To remove lint, hair, and especially cat hair from your clothes, take about 6 inches of Duct Tape, wrap it around your hand with sticky side away from your skin and stick end to end. Then dab away. Not much will escape the Duct tape sticky.
