Thanks to the cold weather, our wardrobe is mostly filled with sweaters<\/strong> and sweatshirts paired with jeans or leggings. Everyone loves a cozy sweater, but there is one annoying thing, which is when sweaters<\/strong> begin to pill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You put on your favorite cardigan, only to realize that it\u2019s filled with tiny lint balls. They seem like they\u2019re impossible to remove, and they also make clothes look worn out, even when you have recently purchased them. Well, if you\u2019re going through something similar, then don\u2019t worry because we will tell you about 5 ways to remove pills from sweaters<\/strong>. So let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Use a razor<\/strong>
    Just like people use a razor to shave off a beard or remove unwanted hair from the body, you can use the same razor to remove lint from your sweaters<\/strong>. You can also use a lint roller or tape to pick up all the pilling you have collected after shaving the sweater.<\/li>
  2. Try a pumice stone<\/strong>
    Well, it turns out the pumice stones can be used more than just sloughing the dry skin off your feet. All you need to do is, clean the pilly sweater using the pumice stone and then use lint roller or tape to pick up what comes off, in the same way as the razor method.<\/li>
  3. Stop pilling in the first place<\/strong>
    There\u2019s a famous saying that at times the best offense is a good defense, and that\u2019s surely the case with pilling. There are many steps that you can take to stop your clothes from pilling in the very first place, and many of them have to do with how you wash your clothes. A number of tips are recommended to prevent pilling in the first place. One of those tips includes turning the garment inside out while washing and using a gentle cycle or using a fabric softener to wash sweaters.<\/strong><\/li>
  4. Choose a good fabric material<\/strong>
    Another way to counter pilling in sweaters<\/strong> is to stay away from sweater fabric that is most likely to pill. A sweater that is made of three-four layers of fibers is more likely to get pilled. On the other hand, tightly woven fabric is less likely to get pilled. Pilling is very less noticed on natural fabrics such as linen, wool, and cotton.<\/li>
  5. Get hands-on a commercial fabric shaver<\/strong>
    We\u2019ve already discussed 4 do it yourself methods for removing pill from the sweater, but if you\u2019re someone who doesn\u2019t mind spending some cash. Then you can go for a gadget specially designed to remove pills from sweaters<\/strong>. You can easily find them online.<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
