Tuesday, I went to the dry cleaners to buy one of those adhesive lintbrushes. The cashier asked me why, then he saw my jacket and gave an audible chuckle. Last time I'll spend $5 there. In the meantime, the brush has helped and not helped. For some reason my "new" jacket really really really is attrached to the feathers and bits of down from the PillowFight NYC event. I'm going through layer after layer of the lintbrush, and it's having trouble picking up even the large feathers. It seems that the down quills are burrowing into the jacket's wool, and the tape is only tugging at it, not removing it. The solution, and the part where the brush is being really helpful, is that I am now spending an hour every night, hunched over the coat with a pair of tweezers, pulling out the feather pieces one by one. Once I pull them out, I just let them stick to the coat via static electricity, and pick them up with the lint roller. I've divided the coat into 8 quadrants, and so far I've gotten through 2. Some of the feathers transfer from a contaminated quadrant to a clean quadrant, but not enough to be concerned about. At this rate, it will take me a week to get the coat fully down feather free. The takehome lesson is, therefor, to NOT wear wool or cotton items to a pillowfight, unless you want to spend your nights and weekends hunched over your coat with a pair of tweezers. Still better then knitting, tho. ; )
