I don't know about you, but I hate getting rid of clothes, no matter how worn, old, or well-loved. Even when Marie Kondo inspired me (and the rest of the world) to only keep items that spark joy, I learned that my entire closet — yep, even the Gap sweater I bought in a panic after a major coffee spill — is worth keeping. The reason is simple: I'm a picky shopper (I know, I know), which means if it's good enough to make it in my closet in the first place, it's worth holding on to ... forever.

However, a viral TikTok find has me thinking that I may never have to part with my favorite sweaters or buttery soft leggings again. With more than 647 million views on TikTok, fabric shavers have become an oddly satisfying trend that people can't wait to try for themselves. Enter the Conair Fabric Shaver, which removes snags, pilling and unwanted fuzzies from all my clothes. Even better, it's under $15 on Amazon.

Fabric Shaver and Lint Remover

Prior to owning this clever TikTok find, I tried everything to remove the tens — if not hundreds — of annoying lint balls and fuzzies that plagued my favorite sweaters, leggings and knits. I tried everything from heavy-duty lint rollers to a little elbow grease, but all of these so-called hacks left my clothes looking just as shaggy and worn as before. When my mom gave me the Conair de-fuzzer as a stocking stuffer, I was amazed (shocked, actually) with the results.

In just a matter of seconds, this battery-operated gadget carefully shaves fuzz, lint and pilling on most fabrics. It's seriously easy to use: Simply lay the item on a flat surface, select one of three depths that matches the fabric type, and get shaving. All of the matted fibers collect in a lint catcher, which is detachable and easy to clean.

After my first use, I loved it so much that I threw a full-fledged de-fuzzing party, which basically consisted of me de-pilling my entire closet while re-watching the first two seasons of Ted Lasso. The result? Let's just say that my favorite sweater that I bought two years ago at J Crew looks like it could be on the store's rack ... today. Same goes for my beloved Athleta leggings that I live in all winter long.

The fabric shaver also earned high praise from the Good Housekeeping Institute Cleaning Lab. Our experts enjoyed that the large head covers more area with each pass and effectively removes pills. What's more, it can be adjusted for removing the pills from thin-, medium- and heavy-weight fabrics.

More than 112,000 Amazon users have left rave reviews about this game-changing gadget. In fact, it's the #1 best-selling lint roller on Amazon! Along with clothing items, many people also use it on sheets, duvet covers, and sofa cushions. In some of the viral TikTok videos posted with the Conair de-fuzzer, users transform their old upholstery by de-pilling its cushions, armrests and sides, instantly giving the furniture a facelift.

"Hi, I’m obsessed. I can’t stop. I should send this back," wrote one reviewer. "I’ve started asking if my neighbors need anything de-pilled. I’m going to buy one of these for everyone in my life. Everyone needs to own this. Take it away from me." My sentiments exactly.
