One popular hack for getting rid of tissue debris from your washing is to simply stick it in the tumble dryer with a dryer sheet. Set it for 10 minutes, and the tissue should come off and end up in the filter. But be sure to remove the lint from the filter afterwards!

For those of you without a dryer, some other options include:
  • Hang your washing on the line as normal, and once it’s dry, use a lint brush/roller to remove the tissue.
  • Use bits of sticky tape to remove the tissue, either by using one strip at a time or wrapping some around your hand (sticky side facing out).
  • Soak the clothes in a bucket containing four aspirin tablets dissolved in water. Just make sure to do a patch test on your fabric first!


No matter which method you use, make sure you check the lint filter in your washing machine and give it a good clean. This will help prevent tissue debris from clogging up your machine and posing a fire risk.
Key Takeaways

  • A popular hack for removing the tissue is to stick it in the tumble dryer with a dryer sheet for 10 minutes.

Lint buildup in the washing machine can be such a pain. Not only is it annoying, but it can also cause blockages and breakdowns that can cost a lot to fix.

Plus, it can make your washing machine less efficient by not letting detergents and sanitisers circulate properly.

And if you don't keep an eye on it, lint buildup can act like a blanket inside your machine, making it overheat and work harder. This can cause damage to important parts like the heating element and make your machine louder.

But don't worry, you can prevent all of this from happening by doing some regular maintenance on your washing machine.

Clean that lint filter and remove any stray lint particles you find inside the drum. And before you start a load, make sure to check pockets and give your clothes a good shake-out to avoid lint buildup.

Trust us; it's worth it to keep your washing machine running smoothly!

Just give your clothes a really good shake while wet and before you hang them on the line, I know because it happens to me nearly every wash, even though I check first but I seem to always miss some.

This happened to me yesterday& is a frequent occurrence ,I always think I’ve checked all my pockets but somehow I sometimes miss a tissue . I give my wet clothes a good shake outside then hang them on the line ,when dry I shake again & use a lint brush to get rid of any stubborn bits .
