You know when you do a dark wash and then find there was a tissue in the machine ...

... is there any way at all of getting rid of all the white bits that are now covering all my black t shirts?

i had this no long ago but didnt realise til i had got it out of the tumble dryer . it is bloody annoying . i just shook all clothes onto floor cleaned out filters in tumble and washing machine then just washed them all again . it worked

lol hunker, well at least you made me smile!

obviously swept floor lol

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.

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.

I haven't got a tumble dryer!

Will try the other tips, thanks :)
