5. Use a pumice stone
Natural solutions are often the best remedies to a problem. The famed pumice stone is more than just a natural skin exfoliator. Due to its abrasive texture, it makes for an excellent lint-remover. Simply rub a pumice stone against lint-covered clothes, and watch the lint fall off willingly and easily.
6. Use a gentle cloth brush
For high-quality, non-washable clothes like cashmere and silk, or for your favorite wool coat, a cloth brush is a must. Cloth brushes usually have a wood handle and bristles of horse or boar hair, making them natural — but not vegan.
With a light, gentle brushing in one direction, a cloth brush lifts lint, dirt, and dust off those delicate closet centerpieces. You can be much more commanding on your heavy wool peacoat or corduroy pants, even using scrubbing or sweeping motions if that’s what works for that particular piece.
We’re not biased or anything, but we love this eco-friendly lint cloth brush for its look and its functionality. This no-waste lint brush has two sides: the fabric side effectively removes fine lint, dust, dandruff, and light pilling. On the other side, rubber bristles pick up larger lint and debris, and hair.
7. Use your hairdryer
If you’re short on time, or extra-big on lint, your hair dryer is a handy tool that makes it quicker and easier to remove lint.
Hang the piece on a hanger, set your hair dryer to the cool setting, and turn it on high. While one hand brushes the piece with a dryer sheet, pumice stone, or cloth brush, use the other hand to maneuver the blow dryer in a way that sends stubborn lint into the ether.
