GLEENER Battery-Free 4-in-1 Fabric Shaver & Lint Brush | Ultimate Fuzz Remover | Adjustable Depiller Lint Remover for Clothing & Furniture (Slate Blue)

This is an awesome tool to keep sweaters looking fresh! I have few cashmere sweaters that had pilled, I used this and it fixed them right up. See picture for before and after. I love the fact that this has different levels of coarseness, makes me feel safer with delicate fabrics. Photo shows after on top, before on bottom

I bought this a couple months ago and sort of forgot about it and then I washed a wine colored sweater (acrylic) with a white sweatshirt. It did a great job getting it depuffed. I feel like it’s not as rough on the fabric as a battery powered one. I used the middle gauge shaver and then went over it with the lint remover and I think it did really well. Arm was definitely tired at the end and I did have to do a couple passes over the seams but overall one pass was enough. The pics are before, after the shaver, and then after the lint remover.

This is the fabric pill and lint remover of choice for knitters, at least in my little corner of the world! After having it recommended to me by more than one person, I finally ordered one. I've only had it for a few days so I can't opine on longevity yet, but I did try it on a half dozen tops and I'm pretty impressed with how it did. It was very effective in removing small, hard pills that formed on an old, thin, cotton blend tank top that has gone through one wash too many. It was very effective removing larger, soft pills that had formed on a fleece arcteryx jacket. It was moderately effective removing large pills of mystery fuzz bunnies that were heavily infused on an old pair of wool blend ski socks. It was least effective removing long white pieces of bichon fries hairs and pieces of down feathers and other unidentified lint that had "somehow" gotten pretty embedded in another arcteryx fleece - a black pullover. This fleece is relatively new and I don't know how it got so lint-infused, but because it's black and the fleece has a knitted texture, even a little bit of lint shows up on it like it's under a black light. I was sad the Gleener didn't work very well on this piece of clothing. I tried multiple blades as well as the lint remover and it was getting to the point that I could tell I was beginning to damage the fabric with all my scraping so I called it quits. It is what it is and I'm going to have to live with it. That said, it performed quite admirably on my other test pieces so four stars it is! One problem I had with using it is that the way my hand kept wanting to hold it, I kept popping the head off with a finger. That was annoying after about the twentieth time, but if I use it often enough I'll be able to stop popping the head off mid stroke. It seems very well made and the packaging is great. I'm so glad it comes with its own storage bag. It's light years ahead of a plain old lint brush, better than any of the electric shavers I've tried, and it's far less wasteful than those sticky roller paper lint removers. Recommended.

I already own a small battery powered sweater shaver, however, it isn’t effective on my thick and hairy alpaca sweaters. This is HUGELY effective and worked so well! I am so pleased with the different attachments and how much it’s brought my sweaters back to life!

Bought this on a recommendation from my mom who heard me griping about using my small handheld battery operated shaver on blankets that were pilling badly in the wash. She gushed over how amazing this product was and how much faster it worked than the average battery operated shavers. Since it seems all clothing is made from polyester these days, and good quality is a thing of the past, I’m constantly shaving and lint rolling balls of fuzz from clothes and blankets. So I was excited to have a faster way to do it. Well, this product sure did disappoint. It caused more problems than a battery operated shaver because as balls attach to the thin side, they quickly fall off again, thus re-sticking to your clothes and creating MORE WORK FOR YOU! To prevent this you have to keep stopping to try and remove the smallest amount of buildup on the thin edge, which again, is MORE time consuming than traditional shavers. So I tried just using the lint brush edge, but same goes for this. It does work great AT FIRST, but as soon as there is a layer of lint attached to the head, it starts leaving some of that lint behind when you touch the head to a new spot to clear a line of lint from your item. To make things worse, you need to use the thin edge “blade” to clean the lint brush of all lint. And be prepared to do this several times in the course of cleaning just ONE item. In doing so, I quickly noticed the sandpaper-like material that covered the thin edge was already starting to wear off! And I had only used it for less than one day! I’ve now used this “medium” width thin edge a handful of times and— as the picture shows— the black covering that is meant to catch the pilling is almost completely worn off. Talk about poor quality ... and the reason for my 3 star rating. I’d like to rate it less cause it’s so time consuming to use, but when it does work, it removes lint well. But who has time to waste doing it the old fashion way when u can do it in half the time and with a lot less headaches using a better product than this? I know I surely don’t.

The GLEENER Battery-Free Fabric Shaver & Lint Brush is a standout tool for maintaining the appearance of your clothing and upholstery. Its ergonomic design and manual operation eliminate the need for batteries or electricity, making it an eco-friendly choice. The device includes three fabric-safe edges tailored for different materials: one for heavy fabrics like wool, another for medium-weight items such as cashmere, and a third for delicate fabrics like silk. Additionally, the integrated lint brush effectively removes pet hair, dust, and dandruff, ensuring a comprehensive cleaning experience. Users have praised its ability to restore garments to a like-new condition, even for items previously deemed unwearable due to pilling. Priced at $19.99, it's a valuable investment for anyone looking to prolong the life of their textiles.

While the Gleener removes pilling, it also irreversibly damages the texture of the fabric you are treating. The "shaver" is essentially sandpaper. When brushed over your fabric, it catches and removes pills; however, it is abrasive to the entire surface of the fabric being treated. When I tested this on a section of my couch cushions, it changed the woven upholstery fabric from a crisp appearance and tight texture to a fuzzy appearance and a brushed texture. It essentially roughed up and degraded the fiber of the upholstery, and the resulting brushed texture would be more likely to develop pilling more quickly in the future. While that might be okay depending on the original appearance and texture of the fabric you are treating, I would not recommend trying it yourself, especially on anything even slightly delicate. I returned the Gleener and continued de-pilling my upholstery with my nine-dollar, battery-powered Conair fabric shaver, which actually shaves the pills off with a sharp blade without damaging the underlying fabric.

I had pills from various blankets and normal wear and tear on my light-colored sofa. I found this tool and the results are amazing. I haven't tried it on my clothes but I have no doubts that it will work perfectly. It comes with a storage bag and three heads for various fabrics. I love it and my sofa looks great!
