A packaged aerosol preparation is provided for use in removing lint, hair and other particulate matter from fabrics. The sprayable liquid composition is packaged in a valve-equipped aerosol container. The composition includes an acrylic polymer or copolymer resin, a tackifier or plasticizer, and a liquified propellant consisting of either dimethyl ether or a mixture of dimethyl ether with a hydrocarbon propellant. The composition can be applied to absorbent substrates such as paper towels to provide an effective, disposable removal device.

Aerosol preparations for removing lint, hair and other particulate

A novel method is provided for removing lint, hair, and other particulate matter from fabric articles such as clothing, upholstery, or draperies. A sprayable aerosol adhesive composition is applied to flexible sheet material, such as a paper towel, so as to splatter the surface of the sheet with tacky adherent globules of a tackified or plasticized resin without forming a continuous coating on the surface. The sprayed surface of the sheet is ready within 60 seconds for contacting with the fabric from which the particulate matter is to be removed.
