    If it's dry then can;t you shake/brush most of it off with your hand? Failing that, tumbling it will get it off - works with cat hair.

    Don't forget to clean out the WM as well or you'll get 'bits' on the next wash as well. Trust me, I just know!!!!

    He should get busy with the sellotape, I find the TD gets most of it off too. my DD has black cotton work shirts and they don't suit tissues either.

    I would recommend the tumble dryer approach. Just a short time on a cool heat and it will come off into the filter.

    I agree with the above - it should be your OHs job to get the tissue off his clothes - he left it in his pocket not you. He should be grateful you do the washing for him.
    More helpfully - I usually give the clothes a good shake outside then put them back in for another rinse (make sure all the tissue is out of the machine)
    ;) If you think you are too small to make a difference, try getting in bed with a mosquito!

    Not exactly moneysaving, but I find a tumble dryer will take most if not all of the tissue off. You'll find it in the lint filter!

    Oh yes it works like a dream! What's a real pain in the bum is when you leave lip balm in pockets - goes through the washing maching fine. Not so good in the tumble dryer - the grease stains are hell to get out.
