Suggestions to help reduce linting
• Shake out items to remove excess lint and dirt before laundering.
• Empty pockets to prevent a tissue from shedding lint throughout
the wash load. Turn pockets inside-out.
• Turn garments made of “lint-taking” fabrics inside-out before washing.
• Use a fabric softener in the rinse water to reduce the static electricity
that causes lint to be attracted to synthetic fibres.
• You may experience a temporary increase in linting if you are
washing new or very old fabrics, if you have changed your laundry
practices, or if you are using new laundry appliances. The increased
linting is the removal from fabrics of surface lint that had not been
previously removed. This linting decreases after several washes.
