Make Old Clothes Look New Again: The Lint Remover Trick for Sweaters, Shawls & Sofas

Your favourite sweater, winter shawl or school uniform can start to look old because of small fuzz balls, also called pilling. The good news: a lint remover can make them look fresh again in minutes.

What causes fuzz balls?

When fabric rubs during wear and washing, small fibres tangle together and form little balls on the surface. Wool, acrylic and mixed fabrics get them most.

How to use a lint remover

1. Lay the clothing flat on a table or bed.
2. Gently stretch the fabric with one hand.
3. Move the lint remover slowly in small circles over the fuzzy area.
4. Empty the lint box when it fills up.

Where can you use it?

• Sweaters, hoodies and jackets
• Shawls and winter blankets
• Sofa covers and cushions
• Car seat covers
• School uniforms

Tips

• Don't press too hard, especially on thin fabric.
• Test on a small hidden area first.
• Wash woollens inside out to reduce new pilling.
