It works great to get lint off the fleece and fluff up the nap!</p> <p>Be warned it does snag in any loose threads around seams or zipper, so you might need to be careful if using this on a more delicate item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cleaning-up-a-fleece#post-2294655 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 05:07:45 +0000 Jaime 2294655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A very useful thread, hope one of these works! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cleaning-up-a-fleece#post-2294650 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 04:28:56 +0000 Jessikams 2294650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LJP I do have a hair cutting razor— something to try, though it sounds time consuming.</p> <p>Jenn, added to cart!

Sometimes works for me, and it’s easy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cleaning-up-a-fleece#post-2294449 Mon, 05 Dec 2022 14:20:05 +0000 Janet 2294449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve never managed to get a fleece looking better once it reaches that pilly/linty stage that seems to make pet hair embedded, so I am on team kkards. But you could try one of those lint devices like the stone or brush if sticky rollers don’t do the trick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cleaning-up-a-fleece#post-2294442 Mon, 05 Dec 2022 14:09:00 +0000 Anonymous 2294442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are a few things- Angie posted maybe last year? Sweater stone, battery operated, and little comb type.<br /> That said, I've personally not had that much luck (haven't tried sweater stone). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cleaning-up-a-fleece#post-2294441 Mon, 05 Dec 2022 14:08:20 +0000 Angie 2294441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wide sticky packing tape wrapped around your fingers and stroked vigorously up and down the garment removes the pet hair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cleaning-up-a-fleece#post-2294428 Mon, 05 Dec 2022 13:31:24 +0000 Minaminu 2294428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>maybe a clothes brush to remove the flint?

This is exactly why I tend to avoid fleece. I will be reading this eagerly in case someone can offer tips.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cleaning-up-a-fleece#post-2294370 Mon, 05 Dec 2022 03:44:30 +0000 Jessikams 2294370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a red plaid fleece from Uniqlo (several years old) that’s great for the holiday season. Unfortunately it’s accumulated a lot of lint balls and pet hair over the years. I do tend to throw it in the washer and dryer, which may be the culprit. Any tips on how to remove lint and make it look nicer again?</p> <p>I have tried a sweater shaver but it didn’t help. The shaver can’t tell what is fleece and what is lint! </p>
