    Try the razor, or even an electric shaver. Honestly, it works! I do it all the time with jumpers and tee shirts. Just spread it out over the ironing board, and carefully shave the bobbles off. I tried a pilling machine but it ws a waste of money.

    I shave my carpets too when they go fuzzy - especially if you have spilled something and rubbed the carpet to get it off and all the pile comes up and makes it look even more noticable.

    Absolutely fantastic!!

    Just tried the razor idea, and it worked a treat. I used a disposable razor, which seemed sharp enough to remove the bobbles but not sharp enough to cut through the fabric if you slipped.

    Many thanks for the advice - brilliant - I'm chuffed - it makes the shirts look new again.

    PS: Probably best to do it when no one else is in...if you are caught shaving your shirts - someone might call a doctor!!!
