    Lint and hair removal for kilts.

    If you have an air compressor and a blow out tool - use it!
    I tried this old mechanics trick on my kilt today after napping with my dog in my USA Casual PV. Works like a charm! With the kilt on, start from the top blowing down along and slightly towards the fabric. I did pleats and all in about a minute. Amazing how much "stuff" collects in the under pleats where the roller or brush can't get at them.
    No worry about abrading the fabric, you are not even touching it.
    This works a lot better than the shop vacuum in blow mode as the air stream is a lot faster and can "un-root" the hair.
    Fourth day in this kilt and it got rid of the visible dust too.

    The lint roller versus brush thread was closed so - new thread.

    Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.
