Clothing Pills

RE: Clothing Pills By Kaldaka (Guest Post) It sounds weird, but actually I use a cheap disposable razor to shave them off. It works great. Posted on 01/08/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Clothing Pills By AHA! (Guest Post) Waaa! I recently splurged and purchased high thread count sheets and after washing them have pilling that feels uncomfortable to lie on! I know it is from mixing various materials together in the wash. I used to work in a dry cleaners and they actually have a lava-rock like item that we used to lightly run over clothing which pulls and cuts pills off. Can't FIND it available to the public though. Even tried a pumice stone for nails (which is similar to the Dry Cleaner item) but it isn't as effective. Have tried a clothes shaver, no good. Don't want to give away my sheets but can't sleep on them. Any effective PILL REMOVERS OUT THERE? Help!

(Price is not always indicitave of quality fabrics) Rubbing causes many fabrics to pill. example: sitting in a fabric office chair, you might get pill on the back of your sweater from moving back and forth. Sometimes rubbing together in the washer and dryer contribute to this as well. BUT, I have discovered a solution. A clothing manufacturer told me to put fabric softener in with my knits when washing to prevent pilling. I have been doing this for about two years now and it seems to work. The cost is offset by not having to replace clothes that look shabby from pilling. ALSO, it doesn't take very much to accomplish this task...I use about half of the recommended usage on the bottle.

Notice you never get pills on the inside always the outside. Posted on 08/11/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse
