This is why I love the Bendix and Whirlpool Combos over the GE Combo. The GE does a great job on wool but it is a bad lint remover! It tends to glob up under the tub and hang around for the next wash as you will see in the photographic proof below. I washed and put away my test towels from the extraction tests, well since they were new and cheap they linted profusely! But in the GE all that lint hangs under the tub so when you remove the load you see a shiny enamelled tub. Next I washed my good wool socks and you can see what happened. Tape and steel brushes arent' working I have to pick manually and that sucks! Anyone have a washing solution so I don't have to spend the entire weekend picking lint?? jon

Jon, you might try one of those lint remover sticky tape roller things or one of the battery operated "lint shavers" that are sold around Christmas and then wind up in thrift stores. Maybe you should check the sump before washing lint attracting fabrics. Tom | ||

Louis! I love that 3-M Lint Roller! It got the plaid right off of that ghastly shirt! I'm getting one today to see if I can roll off those unsightly frown lines! ;-) | ||

Very interesting, Jon. I've never experienced linting like this in mine. Which particular GE Combo did you use, since I know you have quite a few of them? ;-) | ||

How about that Mr. Clean Magic Eraser? The texture of it may grab the lint. If not I would just throw them out. :( | ||

Put tennis balls into them, and tie a knot, and then let Al use them for toys? If you have a belt drive Whirlpool with the brush filter, I'd try that. But only with the brush filter. Other than that, my second choice would be a Maytag with a PowerFin agitator. Good luck! Lawrence/Maytagbear | ||

pilling ? that looks like "pilling" which happens on some fabrics over time through wear and tear and the "pills" are like lint magnets. I have seen that on some upholstered furniture too. | ||

Good tips THANK YOU ALL
I have the sticky roller from the Shop but the stitch eraser/shaver I think might leave moth holes, its too severe. These are clingon type linties! Thank you Louis an embroiderer can't afford to walk around all linty so it may be new socks which was my thoughts exactly. I have my Wednesday nite Ward coming over and she will be put to work so we will have results tomorrow either way. LintyJon | ||
