STOP Using a Lint Roller…Use THIS Instead!

About this video

The Gazette team explains why clothes brushes are a superior long-term investment compared to lint rollers for garment maintenance. They detail the benefits of clothes brushes, discuss what to look for in a quality brush, and demonstrate proper brushing techniques to extend the lifespan of clothing while reducing dry cleaning expenses.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that clothes brushes outperform lint rollers because they remove dirt from beneath the fabric surface, last a lifetime, and eliminate recurring consumable costs, while lint rollers can damage garments and leave adhesive residue
• The Gazette team recommends looking for clothes brushes with natural horsehair bristles, a hardwood body like beachwood, and a distinct handle for ergonomic grip and durability
• The Gazette team teaches proper brushing technique: use short, brisk flicking motions against the nap first to expel debris, then brush with the nap to restore the fabric’s appearance, and avoid scrubbing or long strokes that risk damaging garments
