Lint is driving me crazy on my black clothing. What is the best way to wash these items without all the lint? I wash them by themselves, but they still have lint. Thank you in advance, and have a blessed day! :o)

What can I do next?

hand wash in woolite and hang to dry, or invest in a lot of lint rollers. LOL

I know this sounds odd, but wash your clothes with some liquid oxi-clean. I read in Good Housekeeping that it basically keeps the lint off your darks and makes them look better. It will not lighten them. I used to put the liquid oxi-clean in everything except my darks until I read the article, now I put it in everything along with my liquid soap. Good luck!

I find that using a dryer sheet helps. I also do a load of tshirts or whatever inbetween linty loads and darks. Touch up with lint roller. I do use the liquid oxyclean as well.
We have 2 cats so lint and pet hair is a constant battle with our darks. Good luck.

My mother told me to put a piece of that netting, tulle I think, in the dryer. You'll have to replace it every few months though. I guess it tumbles around with the clothes and picks up the lint.
