Is there any easy way to get rid of lint if you dry the clothes in the sun and not in the dryer in summers?
Answer:
After you dry your clothes outside, before you fold them, tumble them in the dryer without any heat on the "air dry/fluff" setting.
99% of the power a drier consumes is from the resistance heating elements. Also you'll only be doing it for 1 minute, not 1 hour. If running the drier normally costs 75 cents in electricity, this will cost less than a tenth of a penny.
I use washer balls. They are usually located next to dryer sheets at your local store. You place them in the wash and they help to pick up lint and keep clothing from getting a lot of static electricity. The best part is you usually get 4-6 in a package and they last for years!
Here is a link so you can buy them from Lillian Vernon if they don't have them in your store.

Tape will pick up the lint off of clothes. I wrap it around my hand and I just press it on the material over and over while turning the tape as it loses it's stickiness. Also, they sell lint brushes which work well. One tip is don't wash your towels or washcloths with any of your other laundry. That's where the majority of your lint comes from.
If you properly seperate your laundry then there is no lint problem
I know because I screwed up one time & that wa all it took for me to modify how I washed to prevent lint on my laundry line
just seperate your towels and washclothes from the rest of your clothing when you wash it and get a decent lint brush at the store. i brush my clothes while they are still hanging before i take them down to fold them and put them away.
Sure there is a way to get rid of lint when you hang your clothes outside instead of in the dryer. Shake them out when you hang them up.
Give each piece of laundry a good snapping shake before you hang it and do the same thing when you take the piece off the line.
Lint rollers are cheap and they work well. They're also good for other things.like pet hair. They come with several sheets on a roll. Once one is used us (not sticky anymore) you just peel it off and the new one is underneath. Natural bristle hair brushes will work also.
Use a damp kitchen sponge.
I like to hang my clothes on the line too but I want to get rid of the wrinkles and lint as much as possible. The way I do both is to dry them in a dryer for about 15 minutes and then take them out and hang them on the line. This saves on your electricity bill too and gives the that nice fresh-air smell.
Use a damp sponge and it just wipes right off.
Well I use a small amount of downey in my washer and a 1/2 cup or more of baking soda. While the clothes dry, I will flip them or turn them on the line and shake or smack them a bit and I really don't see much lint at all.
A friend suggested I run and "extra" rinse cycle, but I don't wan to use more water than needed :)
Good Luck!
Shake each piece of laundry briskly before hanging it up. This removes any lint and wrinkles, and results in softer laundry when it's dry. It makes it easier to hang pieces neatly, too.
