I have some pants and jacket that are 96% cotton and 4% spandex in black and they seem to attract every little piece of lint in the world! I love them and want to wear them but every time I do i'm reaching for my lint roller. I have tried static guard and fabric protector but they have not worked? I'm stuck, can anyone help me with a tip?

Put your black items in a black cloth bag (die a pillow case if you have to) then throw the whole shebang into the washer - Presto!- clean stuff without the lint!

How do you prevent the lint beads that appear on some garments after drying?

I have washed two pairs of shorts that are black and put them in the dryer and they came out with lint on them. Any suggestions to keep off the lint?

Not sure how to "prevent" it but to remove lint from clothing I use one of those little round rubber things you use to get lids off of jars. They don't take up a lot of room in your purse (I actually keep one in my desk at work). Most of these have been for free from different businesses advertising. Have a couple from my credit union. I like the tule idea too, I never thought of that, but bet it works great and would also be easy to carry.

These are the types of clothing materials that I tend to stay away from. If you notice this type of attraction (between clothing & lint) in the store, please be aware, they'll do this in your closet, as well. Best of Luck with yours.

Buy a piece of some very "fine" netting (toule?). I have been using the same piece for over a year and it works wonders.
