To prevent lint from depositing on the outside of clothing, wash garments inside out. However, if you have a garment that is covered with lint (a white shirt worn under a black sweater), wash it with the right side out to help lint escape. As you load your washer, be sure that you do not overload.t is also essential to keep this lint filter clean or lint can redeposit onto clothes because it has no where else to go. It's also important to keep the dryer hoses and outside vents clean so that air flow is strong enough to pull away lint-and as a bonus-it will help prevent fires.
