How do you get lint off a black dress?
If you don't have a lint remover, use masking or scotch tape - unroll/wrap it around your hand sticky side out, then pat the fabric down until it's covered with lint to the point there's no adhesive showing. If it needs more, redo the procedure. Another way is by using a dryer and a fabric softener sheet that you put in a dryer with a load of clothes. Just set the temperature to a low setting, then put the two in. The fabric sheet neutralizes the static which holds the lint on, and the dryer (if it's a good one) should pull the lint off. Of course it depends on the fabric in question as to whether or not you can do it this way. The tape method is the easiest.
