Yesterday I was washing 100% wool fabric. I cut three one yard pieces, put them in the washing machine along with a bath towel and a microfiber dish towel. I wanted to wash and preshrink the wool. I used hot water for the washing and then put the entire load in the dryer, on hot. When finished, I went to the dryer, took it all out and all the fabric strays, lint and assorted other fuss was stuck to the microfiber dish towel and NONE on anything else.
There were no snarled, tangled threads to trim from the wool fabric, and there were none in the dryer filter- it was all on the microfiber dish towel. I am going to try this with cotton and see if the same thing happens.

How do you get the stuff off the towel?

Interesting experiment keep us updated on your results:thumbup:

I picked the fuzzy stuff and threads off the towel, but it was easier than usual, which would have been most everything else in the load. It was all contained.

That is so interesting. I am watching to see your results with cotton and if the microfiber towel is reuseable.

Let us know what happens may be a new technique!!

I'll bet a sticky roller would take those threads and fuzzys off quickly. Oh, and microfiber towels are reusable. I wash with mine all the time. You should submit this idea this to Fons and Porter. You may win!
