How Do I Remove the Tiny Lint Balls on My Microfiber Couch?

Microfiber is a very thin, man-made fiber that's soft, durable, and attractive. That's why it's so popular as a covering for chairs, recliners, love seats, chaises and couches. Microfiber is also easy to care for. It's virtually stain-resistant. Microfiber is a tightly woven fabric that doesn't create lint itself. But, its smooth surface attracts lint, as well as dog and cat hair. Cleaning a microfiber sofa is an easy task. Regular cleaning keeps it looking its best.

When the surface of the roller isn't sticky anymore, rinse it off under running water to clean it. If the roller is a paper roll, peel off the soiled layer and discard it. Finally, use the sticky lint roller to clean off the pillows and cushions, if applicable.
