an idea for clothes lint removal?

Everyone has the problem, some worse than others. I am talking about lint from your clothes. Sometimes, we accidently wash clothes with a towel or two thrown in, and we end up with a mess! The shirt or pants have a ton of lint balls on them. The lint is like caked on the clothes, and it's so hard to get off! I have used brushes,and also the battery operated lint removal tools. Both processes are quite tedious, and sometimes you wanna just throw the piece of clothing out. It's so maddening, trying to remove a bunch of lint that seems to be magically super-glued to the clothes. Well, there is something called a negative ion generator, which causes dust in the air to vanish, by collecting it onto a needle, or some other contraption. Why don't they make a clothes dryer, with a built-in negative ion generator? It could cause the lint to basically fall off the clothes, with very little effort in removing it with a brush or battery operated contraption. so what's everyone think?

1. Wrap some clear packing tape around your hand with the sticky side out and rub the material with it. If it isn't too full of lint, it will work. Also, rewash the article and use a good fabric softener and a hot dryer.
2. Sounds like a good idea to me.
3. If the lint is thick you can find a lint razor remover usually in the fabric stores but need to be gentle as not to cut the fabric. Also, battery operated lint removers that work quite well. I like this the best....the dollar stores carry a lint remover , has a handle with a roll of sticky tape that glides across the fabric & works great !!!
4. A Razor works good for stubborn hair. The cheapest is a small paint roller with packing tape or even better double sided tape....cheap longer handle makes it so much easier....
5. I think you should get off YA and go invent something to address this problem! (or breed velcro cats)
