I have the same tools, including an 8 inch one that I can use on the carpet.

I use a big car washing sponge. It does an great job, but you have to get down on the floor and use a little elbow grease.
|
Dollar Tree? I"ll have to look for it.
|
Love it. I have been using a lint brush but I like this idea better! Thanks for sharing...
|
what part of the dollar store do you find this?
|
I need a small and large, my husbnd has been checking my redone new sewing room, to see I clean I am keeping it.

I love mine too. Got it at Harbor Freight, but they have not had them for a while (they were pink). I just run them under the water, then roll them on a towel and they are good to go again!
|
Off to the Dollar Store, hope there are some left, great looking tool.
|
Great tip- I have another one that can't be lost- I rub my shoe across the rug and it balls up the thread
|
Thanks for the tip, I am going to look for some. The sticky rollers fill up too fast. Thanks for sharing.
|
i bought one at a yard sale and it had the little one which I keep in my purse. I love these and I used the big one a little while ago before I did a little quilting as the threads and some fuzz was on the quilt so I used it and then rinsed it and it didn't take long for it to dry. I was able to use it again soon after that. I think they are great. Huggies, Fay

You can find the big sponges in the aisle where the car polish is in Dollar General. It works great.
|
Wow, Thanks, what a great idea, and nice of you to share!!
|
Great idea! My law teacher told me to use a toilet bowl brush! It works!

All you do is roll over the cutting table or where you have thread you want picked up and it clings to it. I even use it to pick up small pieces of material .Once the roller is full- wash it in cold water and all the threads come off .Let the roller dry and you are good to use it again . Best thing i found so far that works and is cheap to buy.

I will be trying to find one of those. :D
|
Just got back from $ store mine only has the roler with stickie paper on it. Was told not all storews get the same products, bummer!
