Lint on Clothing

Possible Solutions

Did you line-dry a load of laundry?

When line drying, you can expect some lint on your laundered items. The dryer's air movement and tumbling remove lint from the laundry load.

Were you washing a large load?

Consider reducing your load size. Leave enough space in the washer for the laundry items to move freely. Make sure that no laundry items are sticking up above the stainless steel basket. A tightly packed load of laundry is more likely to trap lint.

Was tissue or paper left in pockets?

Always check all pockets and the washer's interior before starting a new load of laundry. The lint may be caused by paper or tissues left in pockets.

Were there new clothing items in the load of laundry?

 New clothes tend to create more lint in the first few washes.  Washing new clothing inside out will help reduce linting in the cycle.

Was the load properly sorted?

Separate lint-takers from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.
