How to get pilling off a mattress?

To get pilling off a mattress, a common and effective method involves using a fabric shaver.

Using a Fabric Shaver

Pilling, those small balls of fibers on the surface of your mattress fabric, can make it look worn and feel rough. A fabric shaver is designed to safely remove these pills without damaging the underlying material.

Here’s how to use one:

1. Ensure the mattress surface is clean and dry.
2. Place the fabric shaver gently against the pilled area.
3. Hold the fabric shaver at a slight angle and gently run it over the areas with pilling.
4. Use smooth and even strokes to avoid damaging the fabric.
5. The rotating blades of the fabric shaver will cut and remove the pills as you move them across the surface of the mattress.
6. Work in small sections until you have covered all the pilled areas.
7. Periodically empty the lint compartment of the shaver.

This process helps restore a smoother feel and appearance to your mattress surface.
