Dh thought he would help me out by buying a package of assorted cheap artist brushes to use to clean out the lint in my machine. Thought he was nuts but decided to try it out. Works like a charm. Skinny handles work like a charm to get into the nicks and cranies of the machine. Flick out tons of lint so was easier to suck the crap out. So much quieter/easier than dragging the vacuum cleaner over to the table. Such a nice helper! :shock:
