Black Cords and white fluff

Red_Fraggle_3

Hi

I have 2 pairs of black cords which have got white fluff/lint on. :mad: I have tried with a lint brush and sticky tape to get the bits off but it doesnt seem to help.

Does anyone have any ideas please?

Thx in advance

I can't be overly helpful but when you next wash them (after you have solved THIS problem) try washing them inside out...
I would try a lint roller or maybe washing them the right way out on their own so there's more room for agitation but I don't KNOW that this would work.

You could try wiping them down with a damp cloth? and or rewashing by themselves HTH.

or you could do what I did with mine last week - give them away to a charity shop! :-)

Try tumble drying them for a short time. You might have to dampen them a bit (some driers have a sensor that stops the machine when it stops sensing moisture) but it worked for me when my DD's black wool coat was covered in white stuff (fluff or lint or something)

Sometimes wearing a rubber glove on one hand and rubbing all over the item helps.

It's wonderful with dog/cat hairs on clothese AND furniture as well.

if i were you, i'd get a black dye, hopefully that would solve the problem, hope this helps x:D
