Knitwear, coats, sofas and other fabrics all have one thing in common: they tend to pill after a few uses. To get rid of it, you can shave the fabric with a razor, but it can be quite time consuming.
A great alternative is the Philips Fabric Shaver. Not only has it been praised by thousands and thousands of shoppers, it’s also currently on offer at £9.99 on Amazon – this is cheaper than getting it from Philips direct (£15.99).
Suitable for all garments, it’s designed with three mesh holes sizes to effectively remove all kinds of pills. The gadget also features a large blade surface so you can cover a big area at once.

As it works with AA batteries, you can get the £13.49 Energizer AA Batteries 24 Pack from Amazon. The fabric shaver has a 4.5 rating from across 124,901 reviews.
A very pleased shopper wrote: “Using this fabric shaver is incredibly straightforward – it effortlessly removes lint, bobbles, and fuzz from clothes, making them look brand new again. I’ve used it on sweaters, coats, and even upholstery, and the results are fantastic every time.”
Another added: “I’m extremely surprised how good this item is. I have used it on many jumpers and bobbly trousers and they look brand new.”

A third commented: “My clothes look brand new again and this has made me feel so much better – highly recommend. It’s easy to use, easy to put together and means you don’t need to buy new clothes.”
There has been very little criticism of the product, but some customers weren’t as impressed with the results: “I wanted to de-fluff a sofa cushion and after 75 minutes I would say it had a small impact on a 5cm diameter patch. When we tried it on jumper it had no effect whatsoever.”
Alternatively, there’s the JML Bobble Off Remover, available at £8 from Argos. Its protected blades rotate to clean away lint, bobbles, and fuzzies with ease.
