1185831 2011-03-14 20:12:00 For much of my life, my clothes turned up in the superheater cupboard or in my drawers. Lint free. However recently I was introduced to a previously unknown space in the home called a laundry. That's where Mum and later, my wife kept disappearing to...

I too then discovered the mysteries of mixing fabrics. Which still defeat me. :D My solution is a vacuum cleaner brush with two velcro strips which seems to grip and eat the otherwise impossible fluff.

Mind you, having a white cat probably doesn't help but he's useless at washing anyway. :lol:

We once decided a lounge suite colour on the grounds that we owned a beautiful silver tabby. Correction, a silver tabby owned us!!

1185836 2011-03-15 05:53:00 I think Poppa John is the only one in this thread that has suggested you check to see if your wmachine has a filter, and see if it is blocked .

x2 for that suggestion . Our old machine had a filter that had a wee fabric bag that collected all the lint, cat hair etc . If it was full, all of that rubbish bypassed the filter and ended up evenly distributed throughout the wash .

I strongly recommend that you check for the filter, and then if you have one, empty it out . It may be the end of your troubles .

I'm indeed very sorry to hear that your drinking water is full of hair and lint .

If it were me I'd drink the washing machine's discharge because I feel once the water is run through your dirty clothes and towels, etc, it will be less hairy and more easily drinkable .

1185837 2011-03-15 10:00:00 To clarify, i specifically used a machine that didnt have a filter listed. There were some machines that had instructions to clean the lint filter before use, but im not sure how to do that exactly.

And its $2 per wash so i cant just keep throwing it back in the machine to wash/dry/etc.

So using mixing vinegar before the wash would remove the hair/lint? How does that work?

Methinks you are being more than usually obtuse SJ . The filter operates on the water circulating in the machine, not what is coming into it from the mains supply . . .

1185839 2011-03-16 02:33:00 I have never seen nor heard of - until now - ANY washing machine having any filters anywhere in the recirculation system.

Why would youse guys cause yer'selfs such grief and have them installed in youse guys machines?

Just something else to screw up.
