| 1185801 | 2011-03-13 07:18:00 | This just happened to me today. Threw some clothes, socks and a bath towel into the washing machine, and most of the shirts ended up with hair and bits of white stuff that looks like lint stuck onto the shirts. Pretty much unwearable without looking like a furball. Any idea why? Are you not supposed to wash socks together with shirts or ? |

| 1185803 | 2011-03-13 07:37:00 | Won't it be the fact you put a towel in with clothes? After many years of washing and learning from my mistakes... my wash loads go as follows: Whites and colours (bright colours inside out so they don't fade on the clothes line) Darks (turned inside to prevent fading) with jeans, dark fluffy socks etc Towels, tea towels, hand towels, face clothes, cleaning cloths (you get the picture) Sheets - if they are Summer cottons, all in the same wash. If they are thick Winter sheets I wash them separate from other sets so you don't transfer coloured fluff haha Anyway, probably not the answer you were looking for but there really is a knack to washing! You can't just throw everything that needs washing in the machine and hope for the best. |

| 1185804 | 2011-03-13 07:38:00 | Also, the $2 shops or similar shops have those roll on lint removers that are basically big sticky rollers that will roll all that fluff and hair right back off that shirt. Much better to spend the 2 bucks than throw out a good shirt. | Tasha (16262) | ||

Threw some clothes, socks and a bath towel into the washing machine, and most of the shirts ended up with hair and bits of white stuff that looks like lint stuck onto the shirts. Yep, same thing happened the other day to me, quite annoying really Maybe it is something with the way the machine filters the water? |

| 1185806 | 2011-03-13 07:57:00 | Uh, so why cant you throw a towel in with clothes? Would throwing those shirts into the washing machine again remove the hair, etc? Can you name any of the $2 or similar shops?(Have yet to see any in Auckland...) |

| 1185808 | 2011-03-13 08:14:00 | I'm guessing but figure the hair and lint came from the towel. Tricky little devils. The original '$2 shop' would sell them as I think that's where I got mine from for... you guessed it, $2. Also, I am sure I have seen them in two packs at The Warehouse. Let me know if you want me to track one down for you and post it. |
