Ok, so Matthew left his wallet in his pants pocket and I forgot to check the pockets as I was rushing to get the soaking wet pants into the machine so his wallet and all contents got washed!
He had a stack of receipts (i.e. Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, etc) in his wallet along with business cards and notes.....(it's always over stuffed).

ANYHOW...........  all that paper fell apart and is now stuck to bed sheets I tossed in with the jeans.  Now the sheets are filled with paper lint and I can't get it off. 

I'm hoping some of you wonderful women will have some advice for me........Any suggestions on how to get all this white paper fuzz off the red sheets????????  

Thanks!
Ruth

Try one of those rollers you use on clothing, or any kind of tape, roll a bunch of it around your hand and swipe it across the sheets. . .

Great minds think a like....
I just wrapped packing tape around my hand and have been working on one of the pillow cases....30 mins later I have 1  clean pillow case.  I think I'll check out the dollar store for one of those doggie lint rollers.
Thanks

re-wet and use a brush on them, then put in dryer

Hmmm, I'll try that on one of the sheets as I'm working on the other with tape.  This can become an all day project.  At least it will keep me busy and keep my mind off tomorrows surgery.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Do you have one of those battery operated pill remover?  I love mine and it works like a charm.

You could also try using a pumise stone gently.

Great idea....I do have one....still packed somewhere.....LOL!!!

The tape thing is working but talk about tedious!  I'm going to the dollar store in a little while to get a roller...that will speed it up!

Thanks for the ideas.
