Selection of anti-pilling razors to bring your knitwear back to life

What is an anti-pilling razor?

An anti-pilling razor is a device used to remove pilling or fluff that forms on some types of textiles. It is a kind of epilator for textiles. Presenting itself as a true style ally, it is mainly used on wool, cashmere, angora or even fine knit garments. In addition, you can also use it on armchairs, sofas or even blankets. In short, this device will allow you to keep some of your clothes and objects like new.

Currently, the majority of anti-pilling shavers on the market run on electricity. They can then be powered by batteries, by rechargeable battery or by mains. Just like classic electric razors, they have blades. The speed of the latter can vary between 5000 to just over 8000 rpm. On the other hand, their blades can also be changed in case of wear. In addition, these types of anti-pilling shavers can also have LED lighting. The main function of the latter is to help you identify pills more easily. In addition, the electric anti-pilling razor is usually equipped with a protective grid. Their role is to prevent the fabric from coming into direct contact with the blades. Some models may have a cutting height adjustment, which will allow you to obtain an optimal result depending on the fabric. There are also models that allow adjustment of the speed of rotation of the blades. Regarding their maintenance, these devices are usually supplied with a tank that is used to collect pilling and a brush that cleans the blades.

As for their use, it is very easy. Indeed, all you have to do is:

  1. Ride the device over the surface of the fabric thoroughly.
  2. Then, once the tank of the anti-pilling razor is full, you just have to empty it.
  3. At the end of the operation, all you have to do is clean the blades of the device, as well as its tank with the dedicated brush.

Otherwise, be aware that there are also manual anti-pilling razors. These are used like traditional razors and have the advantage of being able to be used everywhere, but still require a little dexterity. Their blades should also be replaced after a few years of use.

In any case, be aware that it is important to keep an anti-pilling razor out of the reach of children.
