I use the lint rollers that are found at JAF.

What a great hint. I'm going to the local dollar store and pick one up this afternoon. I can't use the one I have for my dog because I've had it for years and it has sentimental value thinking of all the dogs I've brushed through the years.

My wall is a Fons and Porter, the same material as the back of a vinyl table cloth. So it's "furry". The little brush worked awesomely!

I use the lint rollers too on a flannel-like design wall. Works great and those rollers are available all over, even the grocery store has them.

I think be established that there are at least 2 types of design walls. Those rollers and "old fashioned" lint brushed don't work if you have the furry type.

When this was discussed previously someone said they used a NEW toilet brush. I've been meaning to try it, but haven't yet. That wirey brush thingy sounds good too!

Thank you for sharing this - it works great! My design wall was driving me crazy with so many strings.

I even use the lint roller on the carpet when I complete a project. Ir saves pulling treads from the vacuum cleaner roller and also finds dropped pins.

Me toooo! So easy to do this and you don't have to get out the vacuum, plug it in, put it away, etc. I use it on the big plastic carpet protector thingy under the rolling chair too. The lint roller works great.
