Lint is usually caused by one of these five problems: Overfilling the washing machine. Not using enough laundry detergent to hold lint in suspension.
Using a dirty lint filter (lint trap). Using too much bleach. Washing light and dark clothes in the same load.
To avoid lint, follow these guidelines: Fill the washing machine no more than about two thirds full. Always measure out the amount of detergent for each load. Look on the box or bottle to see how much is needed.
Clean the dryer's lint filter after each use. A clogged filter will restrict air flow, and your dryer will use more energy to get the clothes dry.
Keep a small trash can near the dryer so you can quickly remove and dispose of lint.
When using bleach for a load of laundry, don't go crazy. One cup of bleach per load of laundry is plenty to get the job done. The old saying "if a little is good, then a lot must be great" does not hold true here.
Sort laundry before washing. Wash light colored clothes separately from dark colored ones.
Turn dark colored garments inside out before washing so light colored lint won't show if it gets on the dark clothing.
When you turn it right side out any traces of lint will be on the inside.
