7 Ways You Should Be Using Your Lint Roller (But Aren't)

If you’re only using your lint roller on your clothes, you are seriously missing out.

Consider the lint roller a household staple. You can use the sticky sheets of wonder to clean just about anything around your home ― from curtains to carpets to broken glass.

Check out these ways to use a lint roller to its full potential. Soon, you won’t be able to live without one.

1) Pick up broken glass: Avoid cuts and missed chards by going over the entire area with your lint roller. It will safely pick up all of the pieces and you can drop it right into the trash after.

2) Clean up the inside of a purse or bag: Why does it seem like the bottom of your purse is always filled with lint, hair, and crumbs? By using a lint roller and rolling it around the inside of any bag, the sticky sheets will pick up all the tiny particles that mysteriously moved in.
