Note - this works with NATURAL sherpa. Faux sherpa is basically plastic, and the reason it does something similar is usually because it has been physically melted together (usually in your dryer). For faux sherpa, the trick is to just keep them out of the dryer and line drying but there's no coming back from the melted matting.

You should never wash faux sherpa in hot water or put it in the dryer. Just cold water and the spin cycle before air-drying will keep it from melting and hardening up.

i just spent an hour going through my sweaters after watching this. haha what a great tip!

I recently hand washed my old faux fur coat in cold water, hung it to dry, and afterwards i brushed out the mountain peaks with a regular plastic comb. It worked perfectly, even though theyre polyester fibres, because they never were put thru washing machine or dryer

I use a sturdy hairbrush to soften faux sherpa. It's a physical task, but the results are worth it.

U just roll it over anywhere theres loose lint or debris (duh-bree, since I've actually been asked wtf "deb-briss" was) to clean.

The crap kids wore in the 80s like wool dresses wit tights, courderoy overalls over sweaters, velvet dresses ...these clothes begged 4 lint removal & we had cats so it was on another level.

i usually do this with my saw blades when reusing a washed paint roller

Sherpa / fleece fibers especially the man made variety do not like heat of any kind. The new washers that are high energy efficient are not kind to these fibers. These washers use less water and, longer cycle times which are bad for all fabrics. I am seeing this first hand with my new laundry equipment.
