Product Information

An electric fabric shaver is easily the fastest and most effective method of removing pills from clothing. Once the device is charged up or you’ve inserted batteries, lay the fabric across a flat surface. Its 2-in-1 design features a fabric comb at one end that removes bobbles and a soft lint brush at the other end. With three different fabric comb sizes, you can adjust the device to be used on delicate fabric fibres as well as sturdier fabrics.

There are a range of ways to remove pilling from clothing, but an electric fabric shaver is easily one of the most efficient.

If you find the idea of fabric shavers with handles a bit difficult to use, then it's worth considering this easy-to-hold option fromScienbeauty. The rechargeable USB battery provides over an hour of usage on a single charge. Our old hat had very obvious pilling from over three years of use and perhaps less than ideal storage conditions. The first pass of the Philips fabric shaver took off at least 80% of the pilling and lint on the hat. After that first pass we had to take a closer look at the fabric to spot any remaining bobbles. After a subsequent pass with the Philips our hat looked almost good as new.
