Thanks for suggestions - yes, a small tissue does indeed go a
long way!

I'm afraid all I usually do is take each item and give them a massive shake( tissue bits then all over the floor so double swear after the one you did when you realised what had happened in the first place!!) It usually means that most of it has gone. Nothing more constructive to offer, sorry.

Tumble drying sometimes helps but remember to clean the filter afterwards!

A small tissue goes a very long way!

I hang the clothes out with the pieces of tissue still intact and a lot of it is blown off as the clothes dry but the remainder I am afraid I have to hand pick slowly. Everything I hang out is turned inside out so it is not the end of the world if I miss bits.

Can anyone suggest a good way of getting rid of the tiny bits of tissue that are left on our clothes after accidentally leaving a tissue in a pocket while washing? Grateful for any ideas!
