Fabric Defuzzer Buying Guide

A fabric defuzzer is a useful tool to have around the house. Most defuzzers are small enough that they are easily portable and can be used almost anywhere. Defuzzers are multi-use tools that can be used on apparel items and household items. Defuzzers are generally quite inexpensive to purchase and operate and save money on having to replace items, which also helps eliminate and reduce waste.

Save Money

Not only are most fabric shavers/defuzzers quite budget friendly to purchase initially (many can be purchased for under twenty five dollars), they are designed to help save money along the way. Many fabric shavers are rechargeable, which eliminates the need to keep buying and disposing of batteries. Fabric defuzzers also help save money by restoring pilly, bally, linty fabrics, which eliminates the need to purchase new apparel or household items.

Different Kinds of Defuzzers

There are many different kinds of defuzzers. Fabric shavers can either be electric or have no motor at all. Generally electric shavers are rechargeable, have a safety switch so that they won’t damage fabric or cause an injury if the guard comes off, and some come with attachments to change the closeness of the shave. Stationary defuzzers have no motor or moving parts and generally come with a few attachments to change the closeness or the kind of shave. Some come with a lint brush or lint remover attached. Both kinds of shavers can be used safely on many different types of fabrics.
