Fluff on washing - any top tips as to how to avoid it?

[Nux]

I am hoping that some of the housekeeping gurus of Mumsnet can help me. We have a washer dryer. My husband only wears black shirts (don't ask) and his work shirts always seem to come out covered with white fluff, so he has to roller them every morning with a lint roller. We had the machine checked and totally de-fluffed recently (the guy emptied the filter and cleaned all round the drying stuff, couldn't be cleaner now) and yet the fluff persists even when there is nothing in the wash that could create it. I rarely use the dryer so it's not creating lots of fluff either.

Does anyone know of something (like a sheet or something) that you can add to a wash to attract the fluff? I think the shirts (which are cheap M&S non-iron ones) are basically fluff-attractors and I need something to out-attract them!

Thanks for your help!

Don't know I'm afraid, but assume you've washed them inside-out with other darks? Otherwise over-night soak then rinse & machine spin might be easier than de-fluffing.

I don't have an answer but am watching with interest as I have the same problem. I only use the tumble dryer for towels, but generally do an empty rinse cycle after using the dryer to try to remove excess fluff. Most of my black trousers are complete fluff magnets.
