How to Remove Fabric Pills From Clothing
Clothing sometimes forms pills, or fuzzy little knots of fabric, that detract from the attractiveness of the item. These pills happen when the fabric rubs together, such as underarm areas, or with general wear. Pills also form on some items when they are washed. Remove the pills to give your garments a new lease on life. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings
Wash sweaters and other clothing that pills easily inside out and use a gentle cycle on the washing machine or hand wash.
Also remove pills by using a regular disposable shaving razor, a small pair of scissors for snipping the pills or a manual comb shaver.
Practice removing pills on an old piece of clothing that is dispensable. Master the light touch with the shaver before attempting to de-pill a nice garment.
