    In my younger years, I was taught to always hang shirts and blouses at the side seams to prevent wrinkling. Hang jeans from the hem because hanging from the waistline is too hard to put on the clothes pins in.

    Do not OVER dry....that just makes more wrinkles. Sometimes, hanging in the shade is better for bright colors. A day with light breeze is perfect.

    But now, to answer your question about the fuzz......hmmmm..................I've never had that problem. Perhaps it is just natural lint, from towels and things ? The solution I found to that is to put them in the dryer for 3 or 4 mins. AFTER I take them inside. You still get that wonderful outdoor fragrance, but the stray threads and fuzz should end up in the lint trap. Good luck.

    I dry jeans, rugs and other things on the line. I put them in the dryer for about fifteen minutes to fluff them up, to get the wrinkles out and to kill little spiders in case they are in the clothes. The lint will come off. I do not mix things like towels that give off lint with clothes.

    Source(s): This saves on the electric bill. And they smell good after drying on the line. Thanks, you reminded me to put the jeans in the dryer for a few minutes.
