## Abstract

An improved lint removing assembly consisting of Velcro hooks. The Velcro hooks hold and lift lint or hair from garments. The first embodiment calls for a predetermined square base comfortably fitting in the palm of the hand. The Velcro hooks attached to base completes the cleaning assembly. The garment will be completely lint free by utilizing vertical and/or horizontal palm motion. A serrated element will keep the Velcro hooks clean. In the second embodiment, the square base is replaced by rods. The Velcro hooks are attached to an expanded circular base that allows for maximum surface contact between the Velcro and the garment. The materials are readily available that would facilitate the second embodiment. Other cleaning embodiments can readily be created to fit cleaning specifications and needs because of the flexibility of the Velcro material. Color can be added to enhance the attractiveness of the embodiments.
