6 Ingenious Uses for Your Lint Roller

Thought that lint rollers were only good for removing hair from your clothes? Think again! Check out these six clever and creative ways to put that rotating sticky paper to work:

1. Clean your lampshade. Lampshades can be frustrating to clean: they aren't machine washable and cleaning them by hand can be time consuming. Instead, just run a lint roller over it, you'll be surprised how much dust and dirt you'll remove!
2. Pick up broken glass. If you accidentally drop and shatter a piece of glassware, you can use the lint roller to safely clean up the mess. After carefully removing the larger shards, use your lint roller to collect the tiny fragments.
3. Clean out your bag. Purses, backpacks, gym bags, and luggage can all accumulate hair on the outside and crumbs, dirt, and other rubbish on the inside. Simply empty out the contents of your bag and give it a quick once-over with a lint roller to collect any debris.
4. Peel your sunburn. It sounds gross, but stay with us here. If a bad sunburn has left you peeling, a lint roller can remove your dead skin without ripping off your good skin and causing extra pain.
5. Haircut cleanup. No matter how tightly you put on your cape, stray hairs always make their way onto your neck, back, and clothes. If you don't have time to shower to remove these pesky hairs, you can quickly clean them off with a lint roller.
6. Clean your pool table. If you own a pool table, you know that the felt surface can be tricky. Dust and pet hair can accumulate on the tabletop and affect the speed and direction of the pool balls, but the suction from vacuum cleaners can damage the felt. Instead, clean your pool table and keep it in good condition by opting for a lint roller.
