Question Posted Thursday February 22 2007, 4:12 pm
Okay, so do you know what those little fuzzy things that are on shirts called? Like, you could have a shirt, all clean and stuff, but after a while it gets these little fuzzy thingies all over. Not lint or anything.. I actually have no idea what it's called. Hopefully, you understand me? & If you know what they are, why do they get there?
Additional info, added Thursday February 22 2007, 4:54 pm: I'm pretty sure it's not lint, and it doesn't come from other clothes.. Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category? Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos? dia answered Thursday February 22 2007, 5:24 pm: you can get a machine to remove them!! its small..not much bigger than your hand my mum has one when my nan went to America about 5 years ago..its really good, and you should try to find one :D
i doubt theyre expensive...my nan isnt one to pay out loads of money for a random thing like that! haha [ dia's advice column | Ask dia A Question ]
ciao77 answered Thursday February 22 2007, 5:21 pm: Like the previous person said, these things are usually called, "fuzzies." I don't know what the exact term is, maybe fuz balls or fuzzies..
But anyway, they show up when your clothing (usually cotton) gets worn out. For example, if one of my shirts has been in the wash a lot, the fibers get worn out and frayed, so those "fuzzies" show up. [ ciao77's advice column | Ask ciao77 A Question ]

sabrinax answered Thursday February 22 2007, 4:48 pm: hmm i think its lint though. because you know those things called the 'lint rollers'? those are used to get the fuzzy things off the shirts. i know what you are talking about, and those usually go on sweaters/knits or dress clothes (well, mine at least). i know they transfer from other clothes to another in the laundry, and to get them off use a lint roller or some tape.
