How do you get rid of all that lint when it goes in the wash?

I don't. I have lots of these blankets - they feel so nice when they're new. But they are garbage. They all ball and put off LOTS of lint. I have a couple of white ones that drive me crazy! I think after lots and lots of washes it gets better - but I dont' use the white ones all of the time, so they may never get to the point where they don't give off lint. I keep buying them thinking maybe they'll perfect the technique - but I just think this particular kind of blanket is always going to be linty - which is too bad - because as I said, they are super soft and nice when they are new.

After washing, first tumble dry, lay it flat on the bed, and comb it at an angle with the fine side of the comb. You should be able to pick up most of the lint. Then turn it over and do the other side. Its really a great blanket. I haven't had to comb it since then.

There wasn't any lint in the washer (gentle cycle cold like the tag said) so I thought great some of the reviews were wrong and tumble dry low heat which I did and WOW. The blanket is full of fuzz when I took it out of the dryer. Guess I'll see what happens next time I pulled off some of the fuzz but it's all over the blanket.

I empty it out every single load. You can probably get two loads, unless it is something that produces a lot of lint.

You can unhook it and wash it. So, that said, you can probably take it to the laundromat.

Yes, if you wash these separately from your other laundry they are lint free.

I let it dry, then use a stiff bristle brush to clean it.After that, I run it thru my washer with light detergent on a gentle cycle and let it air dry.

Just wash it with cold water and then you can tumble dry it. It is better than new after that. The blanket is awesome :))

I toss mine into the washer with the rest of the bathroom rugs and give it a deep wash. I do NOT put it into the dryer.

It's your fabric softner. When you wash your clothes next time, add 1/2 cup of vinegar in place of liquid fabric softner. You might have to do this a few times. I had this problem mostly with bathroom towels because I love them soft and fluffy, but the problem was too much of a build up on them. The vinegar will also wash your washer of any buildup. Good luck!

I use a very soft linen cloth. Something like a tea towel. I ever so lightly moisted it with water and that usually does the trick.

Kindof a corduroy, with a nap, that runs one way. So you must brush one way to remove lint, and the opposite way, will rub all the lint off the brush.

Well if it gets dust in it, just spray it with water... I got lint from my jean pocket in the little area by the contacts. I just washed it out with some water. If it get's full of dirt, just run it under the faucet. The only parts that are exposed are the four gold contacts. They are protected somewhat by the metal shell of the device. They aren't harmed by water. I have sprayed water directly in by the contacts to get lint out. It didn't even phase it. I of course shook the water off and let it dry overnight. It wouldn't damage the flashdrive, but the computer might not like to have wet things put in its ports. Well if it gets dust in it, just spray it with water...

When I first got them I had to wash them like six plus times to get rid of all the lint. After that they are great. Soak up well and stay thick and pretty soft.

Does not leave lint as long as you wash it before using. It is NOT ideal to use for drying your car off though. Use a waffle weave drying towel. This product is good for buffing off waxes

I put them in the washer and have put them in the dryer and it doesn't seem to bother them. The only thing is that the edges pick up lint from the dryer. They are invincible!

When you run your fingers the opposite direction, you get the lint off. Other than that, I imagine wiping it down with a cold washrag would get rid of any residual dust.

Mine do not leave any lint at all. I'm not sure that would be the case if you washed them with other items. I hand wash mine with only other Nano Tech clothes.

I put Windex on a lint-free cloth, not directly on the cover, and wipe them off fairly easily. You may have to repeat a time or two, but it has always worked for me.
