These are great for getting fuzz, pet hair, lint, dandruff, etc. off of fabric things (like clothes, furniture, tablecloths, etc.) I use them all the time! But I use them for more than fabric. Here are my top 10 tips! TIP 1: If you have a felted type of fabric (sometimes wool coats are like this or pool tables) and the lint/hair (usually pet hair) gets almost woven into the fabric, rolling the sticker thing on the paddle doesn't work that well and creates static. I usually tear a clean sheet off completely and press it firmly onto the fabric, then peel it off. It seems to grab better for those embedded type of hairs. TIP 2: Broken glass. I often roll it over my tile floor if I drop a glass just so I can pick up any possible shard of glass. I initially pick up the big stuff by hand, and I vacuum too later, but the beater bar in my vacuum sometimes makes stuff fly, so I do this before that. TIP 3: These also work really well for dusting fabric lampshades. You can either roll it or peel one off and use it like a sticky wipe. TIP 4: Getting crap out of drawers. Sometimes I clean out my desk drawers at work (probably not often enough!) and there are little bits of stuff in there. I don't know what it is, but you can wipe them all into a pile and pick them up with a sheet of this without having to take out the drawer (if you can even figure out how to do that on some desks!) TIP 5: Picking up dead bugs (and even some live ones.) I seem to get stink bugs in the fall in my attic room, so I keep these around to pick them up. I don't want to touch them. And they say the live ones emit the stink when they are grabbed (which apparently attracts more), so encasing them in the plastic like sheet of these can help catch that. TIP 6: Cleaning out hard to reach spaces. Ever get crumbs in your pocket or purse? I don't carry cookies around on a regular basis, but sometimes lint or something weird will get in my pocket and who wants to pick it out piece by piece? All pockets don't turn inside out. Just shove a sheet of this in there and grab that crap. TIP 7: Glitter. Anyone who has ever used glitter for anything knows it goes everywhere. Wiping it just seems to spread it, and it sticks to tables even better if you try to use a damp cloth. These pick it up in a second. And for my relatives (you know who you are) who like to pour that glitter stuff into greeting cards so when you open the envelope it falls all over the place? Then it sticks to your shoes and bare feet and generally hides through your whole house? I win. TIP 8: For dusting anything that can't get wet. Covers on speakers, vents on computers, car dashboards, etc. I sometimes even fold these (sticky side out) and slide them between keys on my laptop to get out crap. That canned air works well, too, but I don't always have it. TIP 9: Okay, this one is a little gross, but did you ever get a sunburn and peel? And it isn't that fun peel where it comes off in like a sheet, but rather little bits that just sort of look icky? I run these over my skin to get off the pieces. I suppose if you have dry, flaky skin in the winter or something, why not!? TIP 10: any small stuff that you want to grab. Spilled sugar in your cabinet. Knocked over cupcake sprinkles on your counter. I hold beads on a sheet of this. Not just spilled ones, but when I am working with them, you can lay them out on it and pick up one at a time with your needle. You can find a dropped contact with one. If I am repairing jewelry or eyeglasses, I will put the little parts on one to keep them from rolling away. If you think of any other great uses for these, please let me know in the comments!
