I found a lint collector for my Maytag wringer that WORKS!!!

[tinkr]

If you use a wringer washer lint is a issue.
In researching what kind of portable I wanted next I found an item that people said worked in the Chinese made twin tubs. Some have no or lousy filtration.
Of course the filters are made in China.

I ordered 2 cost a whopping $2.23. Took about 4 weeks to get here. Found on E-bay of course.
I ordered the cheapest one.

I used one today. It works!!!! No dog hair in the bath tub when I drained it. Or in the lint filter of the dryer.
And Hubs works in an animal hospital. So his clothes are covered in hair.
We have 3 small dogs of our own.
The pictures tell the story.
it just floats around collecting stuff. That's 3 loads of yuck in the filter. Not in the drain of the washer tub or in my bath tub.

Wow that makes me happy.

Wow...that's quite effective! Surprisingly, with my wringer I don't have any problems with dog hair coming out, but a bit with lint.

Lint Issues

Construction/Remodel Company, Me.  Lots of homes in and out, lots of customers lots of conversations.  Okay, working on the current project,  whole house remodel.  She <span style="font-size: 14pt;">says "I really like my new washer and dryer except for all the dog hair it has in it when it's finished." (TOL Whirlpool Cabrio)</span>

 

<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">"At least when I use my old Maytag wringer, there is some dog hair, but not like this new machine.  I will turn her on to this thread to purchase one of those lint collectors to use in her ringer only!  </span>

 

<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">Didn't have the nerve or need to tell her to eliminate/rid the source lady!  Hear it all the time about vacuums etc.  Yep, all the houses are full of pets and they complain about the appliance.</span>

Linking things I'm sorry

I haven't figured out how to link things successfully such a noobie. Sorry.
I'm happy with it Did three loads today and lots of trapped goo.

These filters I think were designed to be the lint traps for the washers like Pandas Or the one tub washer the little ones with no spin tub.
That's my thought.
But it works and I would think it would be affective in a regular top loader.
My large Maytag doesn't have a filter???? never found one . and hair was always a problem.
The dryer filter was full of hair. 11 min pins shed alot. Down to 3 now. Far less hair.

I'm sort of surprised that you have lint issues with a wringer. With a sufficient amount of detergent and water conditioner, the lint does not generally tend to stick to fabrics as they are lifted out of the water, whether it is the wash water or the several rinses, especially if fabric softener is used in the last rinse. Dark colors were washed in a separate tub of water, not after whites and light colors. Lint became more of a problem when automatics began draining water away from the load instead of the load being lifted out of the water. I'm glad the floating device works for you. Lint filters were not introduced in wringer washers until after they were introduced in automatics and then they became another feature of higher priced machines from Maytag and WP/Kenmore and possibly other brands, Wards, for one. Whirlpool even had an agitator mounted lint filter that was marketed around 1956 or 57 that service techs could offer to customers to bring them the benefits of a lint filter on older machines, possibly both wringers and automatics. It would have been something a gravity drain wringer washer could have used even later. It slipped down over the Surgilator to ride at the high water level position and scooped up water into the filter on one side of the stroke. Do those here of a certain age remember the display in Sears with the wringer washer and the brass water pipe and faucet demonstrating the recirculating abilities of their pump-operated lint filters?
