00:00 Intro: Why Ditch The Lint Roller?

Clothing care can be a costly business. But did you know there’s a relatively cheap tool out there that could potentially save you a bundle in dry cleaning bills? And no, it’s not a lint roller. The tool that purports to quickly and efficiently clean your garments. Instead, it's a clothes brush.

Lint rollers have been dominating the marketplace for many years now. And while they’ve got a lower upfront cost, they’re going to be more expensive than investing in a clothes brush in the long run.

Lint rollers also have the potential to damage your clothing as the adhesive can leave a residue, and also only address the outermost surface of the fabric.

02:30 What Is a Clothes Brush?

Lower-end ones will have plastic/synthetic bristles, but higher-end ones will be made from natural fibers like horsehair. Before the invention of the lint roller, they were the de facto choice men used to “brush up” their clothing after a day of wear.

03:35 Why Should I Use a Clothes Brush?

Clothes brushes help remove not just lint, but dust, dirt, hair, and other unwanted substances from your clothing.

While clothes that are regularly laundered such as shirts, socks, and underwear won’t require much attention from a clothes brush, larger items that aren’t subject to everyday laundering will benefit from a clothes brush

07:12 What Should I Look For in a Clothes Brush?
1. A Separate Handle and Head
2. A Hardwood Body
3. Natural Bristles

09:43 How to Properly Use a Clothes Brush

Clothes brushes are best used on garments that are on a good, strong hanger or even better, a tailor’s bust or silent valet. To get the best use of your clothes brush, you’ll want to employ short, brisk flicking motions as you brush.

Start by going against the nap of the garment, as it’s this initial motion that expels the most debris from your garments, and repeat until you feel confident you’ve achieved your goal. Once you’ve brushed the garment against the nap, it’s time to repeat the brushing motion in the opposite direction.

So, when it comes to clothing care, there are few investments as practical & desirable as a clothes brush. While lint rollers will continue to dominate the market, not everything new is necessarily better
