The time has come to show off our much- loved scarves after keeping them in the wardrobe during the warm months.
When we take them, however, we notice that they have white fluff that makes them look old and worn .
But did you know that it is possible to remove them with some home tricks ? Well yes, let’s see together how to do it!
Yellow-green sponge
The first remedy we propose is to use a yellow-green sponge , the one commonly used for washing dishes.
Then spread the scarves on a horizontal surface, then stretch them well and wipe the abrasive side with the sponge . Obviously, remember to proceed very delicately so as not to detach further wool threads and ruin your scarf.
Furthermore, the sponge can also be used in the washing machine to prevent lint problems.
In this case, you will need to insert a rough sponge into the drum together with the items containing lint and start a delicate wash cycle.
Pumice stone
Another very effective trick involves the use of pumice stone, usually used to smooth rough skin on the feet. In reality, its light abrasive action is also able to eliminate lint from woolen items.
Then gently rub the pumice stone on your scarves , always taking care to be careful so as not to damage the fibers . The pumice stone will be able to break the electrostatic bond and “attract” all the lint quickly and easily!
Plus, you can also use it to clean oven racks!
NB We remind you to avoid this remedy on wool, cotton or other delicate fabrics because you could risk ruining them.
