I pulled a pair of kilt hose,(ones I dont wear often) out of the back of my drawer and found they have been attacked with lttle lint fuzzies!

Has anyone else suffered such an attack. I am not sure how they "took root". It is not like it is a dusty or dirty drawer???

Is there anyway to remove them other than pick them "one by one"?

This is a little tedious and I am not sure I have made much progress.
