Fabric shaver, lint remover, Pilling remover—all of these are tools to make your wardrobe look and feel flawless for longer. They not only help extend the life of your clothing but also make it look as good as brand new. The trickiest part is to find the best lint or pilling remover tools for your fabrics, from cotton and cashmere to silk and every fabric in between.
With all that in mind, we did some research to find the best lint removal tools for your clothing.
Cotton Lint Removal
Cotton is one of the most popular fabrics used for both hot and warm-weather clothing. Being a natural fabric, cotton feels comfy and breathable. However, it is also highly prone to lint and pilling.
Our best pick for cotton lint removal is BIORESTORE Re-Tergent a simple-to-use laundry powder. This lint remover for washing machines gets rid of pilling and bobbles and also restores the original texture and colour of your clothing only in-home laundry wash.
Add 6-8 pieces of clothing with one box of BIORESTORE Laundry powder.
Run a 40ºC Cotton or Eco wash for 2 hours.
Tumble dry/ Rinse off with a little detergent to complete the process.
The best part is that BIORESTORE cleans 100% lint and pilling only in one session. Unlike lint rollers, it leaves no residue behind on the fabric, keeping it lint-free and fresh for longer.
Silk, Cashmere, and delicate fabrics
If you are dealing with delicate fabrics such as silk, or cashmere blends you’ll have to invest in a high-quality fabric shaver + lint remover. Unfortunately, there is no lint remover for washing machines made specifically for cleaning these fabrics yet.
Our top choice is the Gleener Portable Compact Fabric Shaver & Lint Remover. This lint removal tool comes with three different settings, one of which is exclusively designed for delicate or sensitive fabrics.
Having a customized shaving edge helps protect your textile fibers from snags and tears, but it also makes the tool a little ineffective. For instance, when tried on a cotton towel, it took approximately 15-20 slides to get off all the pilling. This means that you may need to put in a lot of work and extra hours to get a completely flawless look.
Sweaters and Knitwear
Sweaters and knitwear are generally made of textured yarns or open-knit techniques, making them more prone to catching lint and pilling as compared to other types of clothing.
If we talk about different fabrics, then sweaters made of wool and cashmere get the worst pilling, followed by cotton, and then synthetics.
For wool and cashmere knits, Allisable Fabric Shaver is an amazing fit that also doesn’t break your wallet. A single swipe can erase more than 25% of the lint. When tested, the shaver showed better results on thicker sweaters and knits.
For cotton sweaters, there is no better choice than BIORESTORE Re-Tergent. This all-in-one laundry powder removes lint and pilling and restores the colour and hand feel of your clothing in only one home laundry wash. Plus, it is highly sustainable and helps in extending the life of your garments without any extra hassle.
Keep in mind that the one-size-fits-all approach never works for laundry care. Picking the best lint and pilling remover tool depends on different factors such as fabric type, budget, sustainability, etc. By doing some research and investing in the right products, you can easily keep your clothing brand-new for longer!
