Dark clothes stay cleaner when the lint and hair land in a net instead of on your shirts. This plum-shaped floater rides in the drum with your wash and holds the debris you can see when you open it. A blue and a pink bag mean one is always clean for the next load.
Floating plum-blossom filter that traps lint and hair in the washing machine
- lint and hair left on clothes after washing
- fibres clogging drain or redepositing on laundry
- dandruff and hair shedding onto garments
Catch the lint before it clings to your clothes
Dark clothes and towels come out of the wash dusted in lint and hair. This floating plum-shaped net traps it in the drum, so what reaches your laundry is cleaner.
A floating net that works while the drum spins
- Floats where the lint is
The lightweight plum body rides on the wash water while garments tumble around it. The mesh net sits where loose lint and hair gather, so debris drops into it instead of settling back on your shirts. Pet hair from a shedding week gets caught the same way. If you want a second layer on top of this, a pet hair removers roller still works on the surface.
- A fine mesh that holds on
The white mesh is fine enough to hold dark lint and hair you can see with your own eyes. Open the net after a cycle and the catch is right there, so you know it did its job. The net comes out for emptying, and a quick rinse clears it for the next load.
- Two colours, one habit
You get a blue bag and a pink bag. Keep one in the drum and let the other dry, then swap them on the next load. You always have a clean one ready, and two floaters cost less than replacing a lint roller every few weeks.
Drop it in, run the cycle, empty the net
- 1Drop the floater in with the load
Place one floater in the drum at the start of the cycle. Top-loaders and front-loaders both work, and it floats among the clothes.
- 2Run your normal cycle
Wash as usual. The net collects lint and hair while the drum turns, so there is nothing extra to switch on.
- 3Open the net and empty it
Once the wash finishes, pull the floater out, empty the net into the bin, and rinse it under the tap before the next load.
Keep the net clear and it keeps working
- Rinse in cool water
Empty and rinse the net after every few loads, or after any heavy-shedding wash.
- Skip the hot cycle
High heat can soften the plastic body and weaken the mesh, so keep it out of hot washes with full towel loads.
- Air dry before reuse
Let it dry fully between loads. Check the mesh for wear and replace it if it tears.

Questions and answers
Yes. The floater is compact and sits in the drum with the load in both top-loading and front-loading machines. It floats among the clothes, so it does not need to be fitted or clipped anywhere.
It catches. Open the net after a cycle and you will see dark lint and hair collected inside the mesh. Empty it after the wash and you can judge for yourself on your next load.
The body is soft-touch plastic with a fine white mesh net. Rinse it in cool water, avoid hot cycles with full towel loads, and let it air dry. Those habits are what keep it working over many washes.
Yes, it catches both. Pet owners tend to see the net fill faster with fur, so expect to empty it more often in a shedding week.
A lint roller cleans fabric after the wash, one garment at a time. A mesh laundry bag protects single items but does not catch loose debris from the whole load. This floater works in the drum on every item at once, and two bags cost less than a single replacement roller refill each month.
