I've had my pill shaver for years. Works very well. Washing towels separately from clothes keeps a lot of pilling from happening. I haven't had to use my pill shaver since I started washing towels separately. Same with denim. Wash it separately.
Scrappicat true! I found this out the hard way ☹️ so I'm ordering a sweater shaver...lol
Thank you! This was just the tipi was looking for
Thanks for this. I’ve stopped following several rules when it comes to laundry, yet I’m sitting here wondering what’s happening with my clothes 😩
Zeke Amell just did a complete video on this. You are exactly right. One of the best things you can ever buy to make something from looking old to brand new!!
Must get one. But I have been using a cheap & cheerful bic razor that works well. Unfortunately much of the man-made fibre in the last 5 years is being used and in expensive clothing too and it pills like crazy. Another reason NOT to buy more than you need and to make whatever you can. Learning to sew is a very worthwhile skill.
twominutetips sewing is more exoensive
I have been using one for years. I picked up my last one at a yard sale that the original owner had put brand new batteries in and used once. The best part--I only paid 50 cents for it! I literally felt like I had struck gold!
if you dont have one you can also use a razor or a pumice stone
MeteoricMarlin this is good but razor also can ruin the fabric too if your not careful
You are right about the lint shavers, they are so essential for keeping clothes looking great! My mother has one and my grandmother used one. I definitely need to get one, too!! Thanks for the reminder! You always have such great tips!
Yes! Have had one for years and couldn't live without it, especially because most sweaters pill and sweaters are a staple in my wardrobe.
This tip came at the perfect time! I just spent an inordinate amount of time de-pilling (is that a word?) a sweater. This would have saved SO much time. Definitely worth it! Thanks!
In the UK, the most widely available pill-remover is the 'Bobble Off' by JML which is around £5.99. Some comments refer to pilling as a sign of 'cheap' or inferior fabric. Did you know that luxury Cashmere also pills terribly?! They sell special Pilling or Cashmere combs to treat the fabric! These are cheaper than something like the Bobble Off and also work on knitwear, etc.
got mine at Hancock Fabrics for half the price, then used coupon to reduce price even more. Yes they do work well, I use mine mostly on my coats. Thanks for sharing! Great tip!
I've also tried with Emory board (nail file) on my fabric ottoman and sweater jacket and it works pretty well.
Never would have thought to try that!
I recently bought one of these (mine is a Remington purchased on Amazon for less than $10) and it is awesome! I purchased it for reviving clothing to sell at consignment sales. I am now defuzzing everything I can get my hands on. It works especially well on the crotch/bum area of cotton, cotton/blend shorts (which pill like crazy on my kid's clothing). I am going to attempt to use it on an old bathing suit and am crossing my fingers it will revive the girl's swimwear. You do have to be careful as some fabrics can get hung up in the machine and it will make a hole. Tip; lay the item out on your ironing board or a counter top instead of just the bed. The resistance from a firmer surface makes it work better. When working on small items (crotch of small pants for example) I just hold it in my hand so I can move it around all the seams and edges.. I wish I had bought one of these YEARS ago! One more tip, throw it in your purse when going to thrift stores. Something you might have passed up may look good as new with a few passes with this thing. Thanks for your awesome videos!
Great idea. I also heard a recommendation from a woman once who suggested taking your inexpensive slacks, shirts, etc to the cleaner to be pressed, one in awhile, to make them look fresher. As always, love your videos. Happy Sunday, God bless 😊
You, too Kimmy :) xo!
I have had one for years...its amazing how much better clothes look. I use it often on sweat shirts
Wow that's great, I've never seen one of those before, now I'm gonna go check my closet to see if I have anything that's pilling! Love all of your tips..
Yep Works Great! I bought one at Walgreens years ago and it still works till this day!! Love It
Two thumbs up! I love my clothes shaver. I bought mine at Wal Mart in the aisle where the irons, laundry baskets, etc are.
Great Tip!...I just love, love, love your show Kathryn!...I went through last night and watch all your kitchen organization videos again!...I just can't get enough of Do It On A Dime!
I had one of those years ago and it worked great! Don't know what happened to that thing but I need to get another one! Great idea & video! xoxo Nicole
Thanks for sharing Kathryn. You just saved a ton of shirts and sweaters that I was not ready to throw out yet. Happy Sunday!!!
I have purchased 2 of those that did not work well at all. Will try the brand you have. Thanks for this, it will save my sweaters for the winter. : )
I've used hair trimmers on heavier wovens like a wool blanket.
i have a couple of this in a smaller version of course i got em at a trifth store for 99cents and they work great
Just a tip for you ,if you haven't a defuzzer you can use an old blunt razor it works just as well just don't press too hard on fabric!
Oh my! I remember those...use to have one years ago...where is it now?? Who knows..lol Thank you for bringing it into light, will have to really make a purchase soon :) Have a Blessed week Kathryn ~ Stephani
I've used one of these for year. They are awesome!!!!
I have one. Don't know when I got it, why I got and didn't know what it was really for. I think I got it on clearance or something. Thanks I will be using it.
thanks have 2 get 1. won't even have 2 pass up beautiful sweaters at the Thrift Store anymore! Love it
I've heard of this, but just haven't picked one up. Thanks for the demonstration.
Love it~ Bought one when they first came out didn't work so well, maybe time has improved? I will try again. I have tried ironing and that will really work too, but can't remember if it is permanent, but it does lie down the bumps if your going to wear garment that day. You are so cool! I am going to watch ALL of your videos.
I have never heard of anything like that. For years I have been donating my clothes, thank you so much. I am on my way to the store.
I've been looking for this forever because I fell in love with one years ago but I had no idea what it was called. Thank you!
I have one, and it is such a great product!!
That's a great tip...I've also used a dull razor before...that works too :)
I'm going to get one of those tomorrow!! Thanks Kathryn!
I also use this on my couch cushions, and it makes it look new again!!
Or you can wash your clothes inside out and put the wash cycle on gentle mode or on handwashing mode for less harsh friction?
I had never heard of such a thing, but he does a great job.
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I love your videos. I've been a bit busy lately and haven't had time to do my "weekend cup of coffee you tube catch up" - but I finally did today after months. Out of all my subscriptions I am catching up on your videos the most because they are short and to the VERY HELPFUL point. Keep up the great work :)
Great !
:) :)
You are the best yotuber ever. Thanks for all your tips and videos. I always learn something new with you
just ordered this!!1 thanks!! so many cardigans will look like new again!!!
I need to get one of those! I've seen them, but I wasn't sure if they worked. Thanks for the quick review. :)
Thanks, Hayley! :)
I got mine at Walmart several years ago, $4.99. Love it.
Yep, I have one. Works great!
"A squillion" :)...My new favorite word of the week. Thanks you for this tip. I have never heard of one of these before. Definitely will be buying one cause I have quite a few shirts and blankies I could probably use this on.
Ive had one for years and have never used it. Im gonna try it.
Those pilling machine are amazing!!!!
Who knew such a gadget existed!
I'm curious to know if you have organization videos for teachers?
That is so awesome !!! Thank you. I was trying to figure out ways of getting the pill off. I have an old school thingy that ruins the sweaters I have because it would pull the fabric as well. Anyways, thank you!!!
Yes!! I own 1 & I luv it & it works great!!
Those are great, they came out many, many years ago, I don't think you were born. But I think is been improved. I think I was in my 20 I'm 55 lol. I should take mime out to see if it still work. I'll let you know. Thank you for reminding me about it.
Hehe! I remember my mom always had one (she is in her mid-50s) and she used it all the time. I go through binges of using it to freshen up things, and then put it away for a while. Happy de-pilling.
I am so glad to see this! I have wanted a shaver for a long time but wanted to make sure it was worth the investment and get a recommendation for one. Thanks!!
If you keep shaving will you eventually cut through the fabric?
I didn’t know this but I will be purchasing one of these soon. Thanks
I'm so getting one right now! Thanks, Katherine! I have about five items of clothing of like to restore now. :)
Wohoo :)
I got a Fuzz Wizard and I LOVE it! Saved lots of outfits, which means saving $$! Thank you!
i did not know about this item! looks great. I have used a shaver in the past.---regular razor
Bless your heart for sharing this! I always saw commercials of this on tv but thought it was just a crock :) Im gonna purchase one For Sure! Thanks darling!♥
Thanks, Bethany :)
I bought one of these while I was in Vegas and it worked great on my heavy coat but it actually put a hold in my light sweater. Did you every have any issues with your pilling machine?
You may have been pressing too hard on the fabric, those screens that cover the spinning razors are as thin as aluminum foil, they'll crack and snag the fabric and the spinning razors pull the threads in and cuts them off. If it's a small hole, put a small drop of clear nail polish or super glue on the wrong side of the fabric to keep it from unraveling.
It IS an awesome gadget. I also use it on bedsheets, certain blankets and other fuzzied up things... lol
Wao! Thanks for sharing with us.!! I love your videos. They are very budget friendly!!
Thanks for your support!
They have some of those at our local dollar tree. I was shocked to see them there!
WHAT!?!?!? awesome.
That's awesome! I've never seen those before- but I want one! Thank you again Kathryn! You're wonderful!
Thanks, Amber! Your positivity means so much to me. Hugs
I have a similar clothes shaver and it IS very effective.
How many shirts are a squillion?
I use to have one but I have not seen one for purchase lately.
I have one of those and will testify that is awesome
Thanks for sharing, didn't even know something like this existed!!
I never thought those worked! Thanks! xoxo JEn
Any tips on how not to get damp spots on clothing I don't know how but some of my clothes keep getting wet spots on them and I really would like to know if one could get rid of them x
Thx for great tip! But the link that I try to go to know where can I get it didn't work :( can you plz let me know where can I buy it? Thanks
So true have one like it!
I'm running to CVS! I need one of those desperately!
I use a bic razor, too. It doesn't take batteries!
i will be keeping my eye out for one of these. tfs
Have one... it does work
wow, That really worked. amazing! I wish I have that too. Thanks for sharing. I might get one for myself.
I Hav Th Same Exact One I Got Mine Yrs Ago Frm Walgreen's For Only $7.99👍.
thank you, very convenient suggestion.
I have one and love it!
i was told a pumace stone does the same i haven't tried it
WOW! TOTALLY BUYING ONE!
Do It on a Dime means that you get a cheap generic disposable razor and hit the spots, ONLY THE SPOTS W/PILLING AND FOR MAYBE A LITERAL DIME YOU DO THE SAME! AND BEST PART: NO BATTERIES!!
I NEED THIS! DESPERATELY!
Is this still the best option for the clothing pilling/balls?
Electric and disposable razors are meant to work well
I have one and it does work.
Thanks for sharing this will help lots of people :)
This is why I love you so so much! Going to get one today!
I just bought one and was only 10.99 and free shipping with amazon prime.
Ohh my gosh, can't believe this exists! Threw away so maby shirts because of those little bumps...wow... must.get.one.of.these!
Using an old dull razor will remove pulling also :)
Always knew these were out there, just had hoped that u would have a cheaper alternative! I've heard of just using razors....does that work?
Hey, Betsy :) I think a razor would work great on thicker fabric like wool, but I would be hesitant to use it on a thin fabric like the one I showed. HTH :)
I've used a razor before and it made holes on my shirt.
If you think about it, I think spending $16 on this is very inexpensive when you consider how much money you're saving by not constantly donating then buying.
Madison Layton Sorry but no! I can afford a $16 item, but if you have a family, or a house...or a plain 'ol life, those kind of things add up! I really like this channel because she often finds a less expensive option for us & still manages to get the job done! While I get your comment, I did "think about it" & it won't save me much $...hence my comment for a less expensive option.
I personally dont like the way razors leave your clothes.
Awesome I usually use a Razor
I can testify! Fuzz Wizard rules!!!
Testify it, girl! ;) ;)
I have one of those...and I agree...SWEATER LIFE SAVER!!!..BTW...I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!...
Thanks, Alicia! :)
I used to have one of these, wonder what I did with it?! Lol.
I've seen these at Walmart for 5.00$! I guess I'll be getting one now:)
Yes!! I'm sitting using mine now funny enough!
It works great!
Yes I have one and love it :)
Love love love my clothes shaver.
Great tip! Thank you for taking the time.
