Step 3

on 11/22/2005 If you are stuck somewhere without a lint roller, or tape, many times a moist washcloth will suffice. Be sure to brush firmly, using short strokes. Practice and you can take off lint as fast as a with a roller.

on 11/22/2005 I have a black, wool coat that would not stop picking up lint. I used a lint roller daily. I finally sprayed the coat liberally with Static Guard (available almost anywhere) and my lint problem was solved! I still have to occasionally use the lint roller, but now I use it weekly, not daily. Apply the Static Guard, as needed.

If you travel with a hairbrush, or a shoe brush, buy some stick-on Velcro tabs. Put the hooked side of the tab on the back of your brush, and leave the fuzzy side on until you need to delint a garment. Pull the fuzzy side of the Velcro off, brush the hooks over the garment, and "presto!" There is no more hair, lint, etc. Rub it against the grain to clean. Reattach the fuzzy side to the hooked side to keep the Velcro clean while not in use.
