If you were to take your sweaters, like this BCBG Max Azria Color Block Cardigan ($154, originally $258), to the dry cleaner every single time they gathered fuzz, well, you'd be paying up the wazoo. It's only inevitable that after a couple of wears, the annoying pills come back. There has to be a cheaper, more convenient way to get rid of fuzz without using a fabric shaver. Wait, there is!

Ever wonder what dry cleaners do to remove the fuzz from your sweaters? Most of them use something like this The Laundress Sweater Stone ($18). Instead of paying someone else to do it, take the hard stone and stroke it along areas that are pilling. Voila, you'll have a fresh, new sweater again.

A semi dull razor works too, if you're careful.
Also I have one of those de-piller machine things. Ha.
1ahh there is a stone that gets ride of that stupid crap!! haha thats awesome news!
2You can get one of those sweater shavers from Target for $8.99 and they work great. I have had mine for close to 7 years and it still works great!
3Wow this is a life/money saver!!
4I have one of these, though I think I bought mine for $8 on the net ages ago (it's lasted forever.) It really works well and is far more gentle than a razor. Good stuff!
5Does this work for knitted clothing that has fuzzy yarn? Because I have a hoodie that was knitted by my mother for me that I love... but it gets me crazy because she knit it very loose, which is cute, but it fuzzes all over the damn place!
6OMG thats awesome! I need one of those!
7ooo, I want one!
8I hate those annoying sweater pills! My roommate in college taught me the old trick of "shaving" them off with a disposable razor. That works well.
I usually just try not to buy sweaters with material that pills easily...drives me nuts!
9My grandmother uses a disposable razor. Seems to work for her.
10Wow thanks!!!
11I've heard about using a razor too, but that seems like it would be harmful for the fabric.
12That is sweet! My bf has some fuzzies on his brand new trachsuit from Vancouver and I have no idea how to get rid of them!
