Even the classiest, most expensive pair of pants are a fashion disaster when they're covered with clinging fuzz and lint. If your pants are made of dark-colored fabric, the fuzz and lint become especially noticeable. Some fabrics -- especially man-made polyester and synthetic fabrics -- are fuzz magnets. There are several simple methods you can try to remove fuzz and lint from your pants. If one lint-removal technique doesn't work, try another.

Wrap masking tape or duct tape around your hand with the sticky side facing out. Press the sticky tape against the fuzz to lift if from your pants. Replace the tape whenever it loses its stickiness. Tape works best for fuzz that isn't badly stuck.

A pumice stone or pumice stick has a rough surface that works much like sandpaper to scrape fuzz and lint from fabric. Use pumice gently because the rough surface may tear a hole in your pants. Pumice is best for sturdy fabrics.

Wrap a piece of Velcro tape around your hand, and then use the fuzzy size of the Velcro to remove fuzz and lint. Use a toothpick or tweezers to pull the fuzz and lint from the Velcro.

A single-sided razor blade works well to trim fuzz and lint from pants but must be used carefully to avoid cutting the fabric. Hold the blade at an angle, and then carefully scrape the blade over the fuzzy area.

Always turn your pants inside out before washing. Wash dark pants with dark colors and light pants with light colors. That way, any fuzz isn't as visible. Never wash your pants with fuzzy fabric, such as terrycloth, flannel or chenille. Add a cup of white vinegar to the washing machine to prevent fuzz from sticking, or add a fabric softener in the final rinse cycle.
