Excess Lint on Clothing

Dryer Vent Wizard - Excess Lint on Clothing

Anyone who does laundry knows the frustration of finding lint on their clothes. Lint is annoying to find and even more frustrating to remove. It can also be a pain to clean up, as it tends to get everywhere. In addition, lint can damage dryers if it is not removed regularly.

Lint is a type of debris that accumulates on clothing and other fabrics. Usually made of tiny pieces of fiber, lint can be unsightly and hard to remove. Lint is often trapped in the material’s fibers, making it difficult to remove by ordinary means.

Follow these few simple steps to remove lint from your clothing. First, try using a lint roller. These rollers are covered in sticky paper that will pick up lint and other debris from your clothes. You can also use tape if you don’t have a lint roller. Simply wrap the tape around your hand and press it onto the lint-covered area. The tackiness of the tape will help to pick up the lint.

One major cause of excess lint on clothing is an over-loaded dryer. When a dryer is overloaded, the clothes don’t have adequate space to move around, and the lint screen can become clogged.

Be sure to clean the lint screen regularly, especially after each load of laundry. Additionally, try to dry similar fabrics together and avoid over-stuffing the dryer.

Have you found your clothes covered in lint following a cycle? If so, it may be due to an obstruction of the vent system. If your dryer’s vent is clogged or obstructed, lint will accumulate, and the machine won’t be able to get rid of heat and moisture appropriately, leading to trapped lint in the dryer.

If you want to cut the amount of lint on your clothes, start by regularly cleaning and unclogging the lint filter after each load of laundry and scheduling your professional dryer vent cleaning at least once a year.
