my roommate tends to wear a mostly black clothing and i’m not sure if it’s the materials her clothes are made of or if some things are made of fabric that is just a bit cheaper (in no way trying to be rude, i also have clothes made of fabric that could be considered cheaper), but i’ve noticed since we’ve started sharing the same washer/dryer, black fuzz gets ALL over my clothes if i use the washer/dryer after her. it’s not just little pills of lint, i mean one of my pink shirts looks perpetually grey/dirty now because random lint strands are so stuck to it i can’t even remove all of it without spending an hours on it. i’ve tried wiping out the washer/dryer and cleaning out the lint filter before putting my clothes in, but i still without fail i end up using basically half of a lint roller after taking my clothes out of the dryer to get as much of it off as i can. we also use wool balls in the dryer instead of dryer sheets which i thought would help with static and reduce lint. i can try using my own wool balls because i’ve noticed some black lint pills do stick to them and they’ve now turned a bit grey after she’s used the dryer for the last few months, but is there any other/better ways to stop the lint from her clothes from transferring to mine that i just haven’t thought of? this has never been an issue for me until now so i’m not sure if there’s some basic thing i am just missing.
