Yesterday, I had a lint wad similar to Phil's after washing the Velux blanket from our bed, and an afghan I bought at an estate sale.  I washed them in my 1971 Maytag A806s, and dried them in my 1971 DE606, and the lint filter disc was lightly covered also.  There was quite a bit of hair in the lint from the washer.  They came out of the DE606 so nice & soft, and only faintly smelling of the Suavitel Morning Sun softener I used.

I always thought WP should have come out with some kind of paddle tool for those so you could do just one swipe and get all the lint!!

 

ALEX!<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>UGH those balls are living under my paddles?? WHO KNEW and I think I'm a pretty knowledgeable washer guy!! Gonna get the nut driver out now!

Jon, it would be nice!
I've been doing it wrong all my life, I forgot to moisten my fingers......

 

[daveamkrayoguy]

Ewwwww! Gross!

Most of what WOULD be lint balls actually gets stuck in my drain! If only I could have shared a shot of my laundry tub over-flowing before I periodically unstuck the lint after some of my wash loads... (See following pictures)

Here is some of the lint from the drain taken out w/ a handy drain-unclogging tool:

Just as I thought I was finished, I used my scissors I free the lint with & had more that I managed to get out, here to show you:

Thats

sneaky lint -  wild, free and on the move! Worst kind!

 

 

[trainguy]

Does This Count As One?

I guess I should have taken a pic of the inside of the shop vac.

 

[trainguy]

Or This One?

This was worse than it looks.

 

[jetcone]

Technically

<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>what you have there TrainGuy is a "lint attack" or under doctrine a "lint infestation across the time barrier". Run! get your brush before its too late!!

 

Wait till you see how much lint I got out of the '57 Charcoal dryer John says I'm hoarding!!! Your pics will make a good comparison !!

Just like the early Solar System

Lint balls are forming!!

Hunk break

Daz does it all at Cleaner Close

Opps

OOPS

 

[tecnopolis]

I saw this cool item for sale on ebay and it reminded me of the old Whirlpool Bed-of-Nails lint filter like the one pictured above.

 

[jetcone]

Neat!

A corner mount Lint-0-Matic!!

 

 

[chestermikeuk]

Oh

That sink filter looks real cool...Nowthen what year was the turquoise GE filter flow pan produced??

lint balls

Alex: ... !!! ....under the dryer paddles? OMG, I won't sleep tonight...but will tear apart the dryer to vacuum and find these festering little globs of fiberoids. To be serious, isn't this why some fires start in a dryer...lint balls?

Larry - I found your dryer more interesting than the lint! Nice machine. I also liked the Spaceshuttle vid that followed.

Travelling and staying with

<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Friends in the Empire State, I discovered their stash of lint! A veritable "lint mountain" saved over an uspecified time.

 

 

 

[westingman123]

Wasn't there a movie about that? "Escape from Lint Mountain" or something to that effect?

*ducks and runs*

 

[jetcone]

Hmmmm

Love it!
