Abstract:
A reusable clothes dryer lint removal device for separation of accumulated lint from a clothes dryer lint filter, temporary storage of the removed lint, as well as lint disposal, said device comprising:a lint storage pouch with an upper end and a lower end, each of which is configured for movement between an opened position and a closed position independently from the other to allow prompt addition and removal of clothes dryer lint to and from said pouch, said pouch also having a connective opening near to said upper end, said upper end and said lower end each being securely sealed when in said closed position so as to allow no escaping of lint;a mitt having a protruding bound seam and an open end, said open end being sufficiently large to allow insertion of a human adult hand, said mitt also being made from soft, lint-attracting fabric; andsaid open end in said mitt being attached to said connective opening in said pouch so that when said upper end is opened, a hand can be inserted into said mitt to temporarily extend said mitt beyond said upper end and allow said protruding bound seam of said mitt to assist in removing accumulated lint from a clothes dryer lint filter, as well as allow said soft lint-attracting fabric to attract and collect lint fragments, and thereafter deposit said collected lint into said pouch when said mitt is withdrawn back into said pouch for temporary storage until a next use.
