I find that the tiny tissue fibres stick in the t shirt fabric for ages though

Tumble dry for a little bit on as cool as you can in case they aren't tumble dryable - DH's tip - cause it's something he has done frequently. Grin

This seems to happen to me once every couple of weeks despite my trying to be diligent about it. Dd's got a tissue fetish and fills sleeves, pockets and even seemingly invisible pockets with tissues.

Anyway there is hope. Soak all the tissued items in a bath of cold water until the tissuey bits float off, then put them through the rinse / spin cycle and hey presto, tissue free!

I stick them in the tumble dryer with the addition of a handful of baby wipes.

The wipes collect all the fluff.

Can we use baby wipes to settle the conflict in the Middle East, St G?

Absolutely - as long as they don't go giving one side Pampers and the other Huggies. That would be just wrong.
