Unexpected Uses for Your Lint Roller
Most people have a lint roller or two stashed away somewhere in their homes. The lint roller is a handy, dandy little gadget that quickly and easily removes lint from fabrics. The tool is most commonly used on clothing and other fabric-covered household items like sofas and curtains. But there are plenty of other creative uses for a lint roller. Here are just a few things to try with your link roller.
Give these ideas a try...
Picking up glass. Glass often shatters into tiny pieces that can be easily overlooked and left behind. First, remove all larger, visible glass shards that are easy to pick up. Then, go over the area with a lint roller. You may be surprised to see all the tiny shards of broken glass it lifts.
Cleaning up spilled sugar. Sugar granules can be extremely difficult to clean up. Using a wet sponge or cloth can be messy. Just a few passes over the area of the spill with a lint roller and the sugar will come right up with a couple swipes.
Clearing out coat pocket residue. Coat pockets are catchalls. We throw in our gum wrappers, coins, receipts, tissues, and perhaps a snack. To remove any left behind remnants of whatever may have been in there, stick a lint roller deep inside your coat pockets and roll it around.
Getting debris out of the bottom of a purse. No matter how hard you try to keep the inside of a purse pristine; debris of unknown origins always seems to accumulate at the bottom. Roll a lint roller around inside the purse to pick up all mystery matter.
Dusting difficult lampshades. Lampshades can be a challenge to dust, especially those pleated ones with all those nooks and crannies. Roll a lint roller over the shade and angle it to get into those difficult spots.
Removing dust from speakers. Dust seems to adhere to the material used on most stereo speakers. Using a regular dusting cloth can sometimes make matters worse, not better. Running a lint roller over the surface can leave speakers clean and dust free.
Whisking away insects. A lint roller provides a contact-free way to get rid of undesirable bugs, whether alive or deceased. The adhesive surface will pick them up securely for disposal.
