Clothes Shavers - To Keep Garments Looking New

By Mariette Mifflin, About.com

Occasionally our clothing gathers its own form of dust bunnies, those annoying little 'pills' that are caused by loose fibres, that gather and cling to the fabric, causing our garments to look old and worn.

Washing certain garments by themselves, or hanging dress clothing to dry can help to prevent some of these from forming, but it just isn't possible to eliminate them altogether. And some fabrics are more susceptible than others.

But fuzz busters, pill removers, or clothes shavers (they sport various names) can help to remedy this problem and bring new life to your clothing. And they do work very well. They come in various sizes, but the larger, the better for a quicker 'shave'.

These small shavers are very affordable, and can be purchased either as a battery operated or electric model. Sold is most department stores, they are easy to operate and worth every penny.
