Don't use those abrasive de-fuzzers. You only break more fibers which will pill again. It's better (but riskier) to use an electric de-fuzzer with blades so that you cut the tangled fibers instead of pulling and ripping them out.
Saving this- I have beautiful sweaters but they pull and it sucks to wash bc they’ll ruin them. Makes me not want to buy them anymore. $. I’ll try this asap
Where was this video before i ruined my sweater 😩 it’s 98% acrylic but i’m guessing i should’ve treated it like this because i threw it in the wash ONCE and now i can’t even wear it, even after using my depiller on the whole thing it got all fuzzy again within less than 4 hours 🙄
@Poppi_Wasel Did you miss the part about pouring liquid soap into the sink or wash basin, letting the sweater sit in that water for a bit, swishing it around, rinsing it, rolling it in a clean towel to de-water it, and then laying it flat to dry? Looks like the washing process to me!
the tool doesn't matter much. you can even use a razor (like for having legs). You just gotta do it gently and in the right direction (trial and error)
cookytrix yeah you can argue it’s a waste of time but what’s the point of buying a nice expensive sweater if you’re going to ruin it after throwing it in the wash one time?

I did not know the work that goes into cleaning a wool or cashmere sweater or anything wool and cashmere, thanks Martha

I had an issue with my wool sweater. I did hand wash it with cold water and then air dried it. It got stretched after drying. Any way I can fix it?

Does a pumice used for feet work as well for pilling?
I did this and it took so long for my sweater to dry it stank like a moldy basement
Try rolling it up in a towel, pressingly lightly to blot water next time. Then remove wet towel & lay flat to dry.
Love u Martha
How can you tell the imitation dfuzzit from the real one?

How is this Washing? Looks like Deodorizing and shaping...

I'm pretty sure you should not touch wool garments with a steamer.

That’s how dry cleaners remove wrinkles. Also with a hot steam iron.
