Having dogs that shed, I use a lint roller constantly. Dog hair on my clothes gets under my skin. But over the years I've found a few other unexpected uses, so I thought I'd share. Maybe you already do this too!
Before- The material on the back of picture frames collects dust.
After- To keep it clean, I go over it a few times with the roller.
Throw pillows get tossed in the washer regularly. But for those moments in-between, I dust them with a lint roller.
Especially anything with a texture; like velvet, felt or burlap.
They seem to attract lint.
Over time, my lampshades get pretty dusty. Dusting them with a lint roller works great.
As much as I love using my vacuum cleaner's dusting attachments, I don't love pulling it out all the time. A lint roller does a great job on furniture, especially around the edges.
Any lint roller will do, but I love the fresh scent of Bounce. The clean scent it leaves behind is really fantastic!

I use one for a lot of the same things. So much easier than hauling out the vacuum all the time.

ReplyDeleteOh what a genius idea to use this to clean my lamp shades! Woohoo....thank you for sharing Brandi!
ReplyDeleteWhy have I not thought of this before, haha. This is such a good idea! I actually don't have pets, but I do get dust and such on the back of my picture frames on on my lamp shades. I will definitely have to grab a lint roller and go to town.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Brandi I'm definitely using this for my lamp shades
ReplyDeleteWow, you have the best ideas. I always keep lint rollers in the house but I've only used them on my clothes. Now, that's about to change so thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend, Brandi... :)
GREAT tips, Brandi:) I have an ancient lint roller that I never use. I didn't even know they made them scented! I'll be watching out for a new one:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Brandi...
The polka dot lint roller is cute. I don't know that lint rollers these days come with polka dot design, last one I bought was when I first arrived at the USA years ago and was renting a room with an American family whose cat hair got to my clothes all the time. I still haven't used up that roller, and I have been moving it from different rental rooms to apartments and from town to town and the big thick roller is still hanging on the left side of my desk. It's just one of the things that I keep and never used much anymore....
ReplyDeleteGreat tip! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteGreat tips, Brandi! For sure I'm gonna try it on the lamp shades. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHow versatile is this thing? Impressive!
