Cleaning Tips

The easiest way to remove pilling from fabric.
 

Pilling is those annoying little balls of lint that build up on clothes and fabrics over time. Lint rollers don’t work on pilling because these little fuzz balls are tightly attached to the fabric. I have seen people use a razor to go over pilling, but this idea has always scared me a bit. Instead, I found the most amazing tool EVER!

How to Get Rid of Lint Balls on Clothes & Fabric

Let me show you our couch pillows that were covered in pilling.

Grab your Fabric Shaver and select your trim height. I have always gone with the lowest “trim”, but if you want a higher “shave”, you simply set it to what you want to use.

Now look at the results!

I have tried this on many items of clothing as well. Every time the results are stunning. Everyone in our family fights over who’s going to remove pilling on certain items because it is so satisfying to watch all those little fuzz balls disappear.

When you are done using the fabric shaver, simply empty the lint compartment.

That’s all there is to it. Easy and effective… my kind of cleaning hack!
