Best lint roller for clothes
Sticky sheets, a reusable roller or a brush: which one for a black coat before you leave.
A lint roller does not clean the house. It lifts the last layer on pants, a coat or a seat before a visit. Here is how to choose without buying three gadgets that do the same job.
Disposable sheets
They stick hard, including short cat hair on black fabric. The downside: you keep buying refills. Keep one by the door and one in the car.
Reusable roller
ChomChom-style rollers lift hair into a bin, with no sheet. They suit sofas and coats if you empty them. They are less handy in a purse than a mini roller.
What it will not do
A roller will not pull hair packed into a rug or a washer filter. For that, use a vacuum and washer balls. On delicate wool, test a hidden spot first.
FAQ
Does a roller damage clothes?
On cotton and coats, not in normal use. On silk or a very fine knit, use a slightly damp glove instead.
