How do i stop my clothes from going all "bobbly"?

Question

all my clothes keeps going all bobbly! like i wouldnt mind th cheap stuff going like that but ht more pricey things?...its annoying, like all my cotton tops or wool or cardis n stuff....they get little balls on them.my granny said i could use a razor to "shave" my clothes, but thats just gonna make it worse, th fabric will just get thin.

like i expect older things to go like that but new stuff after a few washes??

is there anything i can do to stop it? like i just use normal washing detergant, i tumble dry when its wet out, but apart from that i hang them on the clothes line....

like im 19 and im asking this, i feel like a granny askin a question like this but its bothering me...

does it matter what washin powder you use?? i tried woolite, but it didnt make a difference , new stuff still went bobbly, like topshop stuff

Answer 1

agree with the above but to get bobbles of try a electric shaver

Answer 2

To remove the 'bobbles' (yes I have this problem, and I HATE it too)  I get a special bobble taker outer at wal mart, not sure of the brand or specific name, but I believe its where the irons are, its only a few dollars and runs on batteries, it only takes off the 'pills' not the good stuff like a regular razor would.  It works excellent!

Answer 3

Hand wash line dry.Its a pain but washing in the washer is rough on clothes.You could use the delicate cycle to wash,but still dont put in dryer.Works for me and I learned the hard way.good luck,E

Answer 4

hi to stop this wash in a pillow case sound daft but loads of people do it ..will stop the bobbles

Answer 5

Turn your clothes inside out when washing and not all clothes need a full wash every time,a rinse is often good enough.

We tend to stick things on for far too long at heats far in excess of what is need to get things clean. Reduce wash powder too.

Small washes more often will help you keep on top of your washing

One way you should avoid lien is

Always wash towels by them selfs and not with the clothes because it will leave some white little balls. The same goes for sweaters they have lien as well.

I use one lien brush to try to remove some of the lien.

Also you should make sure to give your wash machine a good cleaning if has not been recently. I am not saying it dirty but it best to keep clean.

As far as leaving clothes in basket for 2 weeks should be okay but if you noticed odor than I would suggest add a little bit of BAKING SODA in addtion to your laundry detergent to remove the odor. Another thing that helps keep your laundry smelling good is fabric softner add to your final rinse and you will have soft clothes. I use 2 cap of Downy. Make sure to add when wash machine is full of water!!!!!!!
