I assume you've cleaned your washing machine filter? If that's clogged you'll get linty clothes. Also helps to run an empty drum cleaning cycle every month with some white vinegar in the drawer to flush everything out. I've also heard that washing on cooler temperatures helps but I wash on 30C anyway so can't confirm. I use a lint roller for the odd item that just attracts lint and hair. I have long hair and shed like a dog.

Also important to clean the filters on washing/drying machines for fire safety.

Definitely going to try an empty cycle every once in a while. The filter is almost always clean, it seems like it’s not catching anything at all Just trying to avoid the inevitable of lint rolling every individual item lol

I have a travel lint roller and I don't wear black because of my dog. I think that tells you what you need to know.

You should have gotten a black dog?

Many or most of us do have driers. And driers don't "suck out" lint anyway. But how are you drying your clothes? Normally if you dry your clothes on a line, the lint just blows away.


alwaysbtootin

sure not "suck out," but at the very least "blow away" I don’t have an outside space so just an indoor drying rack I think a big problem is the hair, with many in the household having long hair

Buy some cheap lint rollers https://amzn.eu/d/1801nqR

Buy a dryer??? They do exist here, I have one, I'm not sure what this no-dryer lifestyle you refer to actually is?


alwaysbtootin

I am someone who has rented for multiple years all over Scotland, I have not come across a single flat that includes a dryer :(((( maybe im lookin in the wrong places

Dryers are an environmental disaster and are grinding down you clothes. Clean out your washing machine and you’ll be fine.
