I had one and, in spite of what they say, it worked a treat.
Another way is to wrap Sellotape/Scotch Tape/Durex around your flattened
hand sticky–side outwards and use that.
(Durex is the Aussie version of Sellotape BTW ;o)

Doesn't always work – and doesn't touch the silk left behind by clothes moth
larvæ. It's extremely tenacious. A very stiff brush after washing is
required – often followed by a bit of invisible mending if you didn't catch
the larvæ quick enough!

Wrap celophane tape around your fingers so the sticky side is out. Pat the lint off. Renew the tape as necessary.

Likewise masking tape, the wider the better.
For serious removals, you can also double–back the tape on its roll
so you have a nice 5–inch diameter sticky roller. I do that at work
sometimes whenever I make a mess in my cube.

Once in a while though, I'll drop a container of 0406 chip capacitors or
something similar, that blends into the industrial carpeting. The masking
tape roll does a good job recovering them.

Makes no sense to pull your punches with lint. Give it an inch... What about using clear packaging tape? There's a lot of tape on a

You may need to move up a grade (thickness) on the tape. From your I have one of those too, but it never seems to work properly. Fluff

There are lint rollers that are essentially masking tape on a roller

Try same with duct tape. Actually, almost any sticky tape will work in a lint off. Renew the tape as necessary.
