Our old hat had very obvious pilling from over three years of use and perhaps less than ideal storage conditions. The first pass of the Philips fabric shaver took off at least 80% of the pilling and lint on the hat. After that first pass we had to take a closer look at the fabric to spot any remaining bobbles. After a subsequent pass with the Philips our hat looked almost good as new. A lot of people assume that once an item of clothing starts pilling and bobbles are popping up left, right and centre, it’s had it. That simply isn’t true—with a fabric shaver, you can make it look just like it did the day you bought it.Easy to operate and clean: This shaver is battery-operated, so it's nearly ready to use right out of the box. With just one speed, you just turn on the electric fabric shaver and you're on your way. As for cleaning, you just turn off the motor, twist off the shaving head and use the included cleaning brush to clean lint out from around the rotating blade.
