Instructions

    • 1

      Hang the article of clothing up at eye height so you can easily see it from all angles. It is easier to remove lint while it is hanging, than when you are wearing it, since you can't see the back.

    • 2

      Roll an adhesive roller over the garment. These rollers are covered with sticky tape that will pull the lint and hair from the fabric.

    • 3

      Peel off a layer of the sticky tape if it becomes too covered with hair or lint to use. Discard this layer and use the new layer underneath.

    • 4

      Spray the garment with a product that repels static. Some fabrics are prone to attracting lint and hair and a static repellent will prevent new hair and lint from attaching itself.

Tips & Warnings

  • If you can't find an adhesive lint roller, try using thick masking tape with the sticky side on the outside or wet a rubber glove and shake the water off.
