Fluff formation is a natural consequence of washing laundry in the washing machine: it is formed by the rubbing of clothes during the rotation of the drum. And when it settles on fabrics, it is almost impossible to remove with a major effort. Pet hair is another major headache when it comes to doing the washing.

If we want to prevent fluff from forming, the advice is usually to turn the garments inside out before putting them in the washing machine, brushing off any pet hair first, and not to overload the drum. However, there is also a few simple tips can help us even more. Let's find out together what they are:

The first tip is to insert a sponge along with the washing. Both body sponges and those we use for washing dishes are fine. In fact, these objects, once wet, will attract hair and fluff and prevent them from getting all over the clothes.

Plastic balls or resealable polypropylene bags are also suitable for this purpose - they will attract hair and fluff in the same way as the sponges do.

When doing a delicate wash, you can use wet wipes - one or two depending on the load. The highly absorbent power of the wipes will pick up hairs and fluff. The only precaution to take is to make sure of the resistance of the wipes before use: if they are not resistant enough, they will break up during the wash cycle, defeating the purpose.

With these remedies you will save yourself the effort of try to remove the hair and fluff from your freshly washed clothes!
