Keep Your Favorite Wool Coat Looking Like New
How do I get lint balls off my wool coat?
So I decided recently to get out a favorite wool coat of mine that I haven't worn in a few years partly because of annoying lint balls that have accumulated on the coat. Even after having the coat dry cleaned, it looked older than what it was.
But I really like this coat and wanted to wear it this year, so I was determined to find a way to get the lint balls off, or at least as many as I could. If you've tried using a lint roller, then you know they don't work with lint balls.
They say you can use a razor, but I don't want to risk ruining my coat. So I grabbed some packaging tape and worked with that. All you need is some really strong tape like packaging tape or duct tape.
I didn't have any duct tape in the house during this impulsive moment to rid my coat of lint balls, so I did my best with packaging tape. I only say that because duct tape is easier to work with. When you handle packaging tape, it sticks to itself too easily and gets all twisty and makes it hard to work with.
To get lint balls off your favorite wool coat, try this:
Step 1) Place the coat on any flat surface. Your table or a bed would work.
Step 2) Grab a good sized piece of tape and start dragging it on the coat and rubbing the coat with the tape, sort of pulling the lint balls off.
And that's it. That's all there is to it. It may takes some time, but it's worth it if you really love the coat. It worked for me. My coat looked 95% better just using some tape.
Other Methods to Remove Lint Balls from Your Favorite Wool Coat Include:
- Using a pumice stone.
- Using a velvet brush.
- Carefully using a razor.
