Pilling & Lint

There are a few ways to remove pills from your clothes and home textiles. The most effective and gentle method is to use a Fabric Shaver with sharp razor blades that shave off the excess fibers. A few quick sweeps with a fabric shaver can truly transform your old sweaters and make them look brand new again even after years of use. This method works on almost any kind of textile that develops pilling, but we recommend going extra easy on delicate fabrics and knitted garments.

How to use a fabric shaver

Unlike pills, lint sits loosely on the surface of the fabric and does not require a fabric shaver. Use a Clothing Brush to remove lint and surface dirt from denim, jackets, upholstery, or other thick fabrics. To remove lint and hair from more delicate materials, our reusable Lint Brush is a great alternative to disposable tape rollers. Sticky tape may be good for catching lint and pet hair, but it tends to leave a trace of glue and make your newly cleaned textiles attract more lint and hair.
