Most households have a lint remover roller in their home because it comes in handy in removing fuzz from clothing. But other than that, can you think of how to use a lint roller in other ways?
Lint rolling is not just for your clothes. It has other uses in keeping every nook and cranny of your home (and more) cleaner than ever. Here are nine unique ways to use a lint roller other than removing fuzz from your clothes.
Car
The cracks and crevices of your vehicle are the perfect places to use a lint roller. Just place it into these areas and roll it back and forth.
You can also use a lint floor roller for your car floor and carpet. Any dust or debris should stick to the roller, making it easy to remove.
Furniture
If you have some fuzz on a piece of furniture, break out a lint roller to easily clean it up. Best of all, it’s small enough that you can clean under your furniture.
This is a great way to remove dust bunnies and other debris from beneath your couch, chairs, and other furniture.
And if you have pets, you know how fur and all that pet hair could be such a headache! You can use lint roller for pet hair all over your furniture and everything will look good as new.
How to use a Lint Roller on your Drapes
If you have curtains in your home, then use a lint roller to help keep them dust free. Run it over the drapes to remove any dust.
Stuffed Animals
Stuffed animals are big collectors of dust, which is bad news if your kids have allergies. A lint roller easily keeps stuffed animals fuzz and dust free. Run the roller over the animal, and then toss the dust-filled sheet into the trash.
Inside of a Handbag
Handbags are notorious for collecting lint and other debris. An easy way to clean them is to empty out your handbag and then roll a portable lint roller around inside.
A roller also works great when cleaning out other types of bags, such as diaper and gym bags.
Lampshades
If you have a dirty lampshade, then use a lint roller to clean it.
Using a roller to remove the dust from a lampshade can save you the trouble of washing it or having to dig out the vacuum, and the special attachment that you might not even have, to clean it.
Glitter
Glitter is the single hardest substance to clean up in the world. Make short work of glitter by running a roller over the area.
The glitter should stick to the tape of the roller, making cleanup a snap.
Drawers
A roller is also perfect for cleaning dirt and dust out of the drawers on your furniture or cabinets, especially in hard-to-reach areas near the back.
Simply roll the roller across the area, or even down into it if it is a crevice, to easily remove the dirt and other debris.
Christmas Tree Needles
If you have a live Christmas tree during the holidays, then you know how much the branches can shed those little pine needles.
An easy way to clean them up is to use a lint roller. Just run the roller across the area of fallen pine needles for easy cleanup.
Takeaway
If you’ve been wondering how to use a lint roller in many different places in your home, these tips can help you. And since a lint remover roller is so handy, you might easily run out of them, so the next step for you to do is to find an alternative to lint roller.
