...one of these super little Remington Fuzz Away's. They remove every little annoying bobble in sight!!
I had heard of these before, many years ago, when I was really little. I'd seen them advertised on TV, but never really thought much about them before. Lately though my old joggy-bottoms and tee-shirts have been developing a few nasty looking round tufts. I'd been trying to pull them off, one by one, but it was so mind numbingly boring, I quickly ... ...to ask dad for some dosh (or go busking again!) to get myself some new gear.
Once again though my trusted old nan came to the rescue! When she came to our house for tea last week I was ironing in our living room and moaning on and on about all the little bobbles on my (quite new) top. I was trying to pull the bobbles off but there were just so many of them!! Nan asked me what I was doing, and when I explained she told mum off for not washing our ...

Advantages: Simple and easy to use and works well . Disadvantages: None.
...a great little gadget The Remington Fuzz-Away is, I remember the first one I got as a pressie about 15 years ago, I'm now on my third one due to the fact that the first one I owned was stepped on and the second was borrowed and I did'nt get it back! This little battery operated gadget is used for shaving off those unsightly bobbles that appear on your clothes, I've used it with very good results on socks, jumpers, tops, trousers and jogging bottoms, ... ...and bedding ect and isn't just limited to clothing. The Fuzz-away is simply a low voltage battery operated fabric shaver which is small and lightweight and fits nicely in the hand. It has a perforated mesh head which is glided back and forth over the fabric until the bobbles are removed. The bobbles are removed by the small rotating blades behind the mesh head and are sucked through the holes in the mesh and into the small see through storage compartment, ...

Advantages: Debobbles with aplomb Disadvantages: Too small to debobble a bobble hat
This is the whirry little thing that you can shave your clothes with. It removes the "Bobbles" that appear inexplicably when your jumpers get old. In short - It works.
Not the most extensive opinion I grant you, so I'll expand....
Basically its a battery operated rotating blade that spins behind a mesh screen, not unlike an old electric razor, and anything that pokes through the mesh is cut off, leaving a smooth efect on previously bobbly material. ... ...not chainmail. The bigger the weave or knit, the bigger the bobble and the less likely it will fit through the mesh.
If you havn't seen one, its hand held, looks a bit like a chunky electric razor too and it cost me about £6 a few years ago. Its black vinyl effect and doubles as a phaser if you are playing Star Trek with your children.
Its dead simple to clean out, just slide off a hatch thing and pour out the bobbles, if you keep the old bobbles ...

I actually have 2 of these. The first I bought was a Remmington but when we moved house I misplaced it. I definitely had to have one but was unable to find another Remmington and bought a different make from Innovations. Needless to say I found my old one soon afterwards. This is a very useful little gadget for shaving the bobbles that develop on items of clothing such as; socks, T-Shirts, jerseys and tracksuits. It has saved me from throwing away ... ...giving them a shave they were almost as good as new. I use it when I am doing the ironing. It’s quite fun shaving the bobbles off and I do sometimes get carried away. A little light entertainment in the sheer drudgery of housework.
By one, I definitely find it difficult to do without it.
Unfortunatley I cannot remember how much the Remmington was but the other make from innovations is about £5.99. See if you can source one elsewhere as innovations ...

Advantages: makes tired old jumper new again Disadvantages: none
This little appliance should be in everyones top drawer.
I found out about this tool some years ago, when i was just about to bin yet another jumper, for looking too shabby and bobbly....Stop my friend cried, try this...and whats that going to do i asked ?...well was i surprised..
O.k it took some work at first, but when finished my jumper looked like i had just bought it home from the shop. well that was it then, i had to have one.... and it becomes ... ...my niece came over complaining her wool tighs were fit for the bin..but oh no..not when i had finished with them..she laughed at me at first, but was shocked when her tights came back silky smooth..lol.
Alas my first one broke, and i hunted high and low, i eventually found one in a charity shop, and went home to shave and de-bobble yet another jumper.
Ive recently invested in the deluxe size fuzz away, its a bit cumbersome to begin with, but once ...

Advantages: They actually work! Disadvantages: I burn my fingers on the hot irons - but I'm very clumsy anyway
...hair problems that I have had in the past. Not any more! I am extremely happy with this product and I might have to say they are my pride and joy (along with my Renault Clio) :-)
Remington boasts products such as Hairdryers, Lady Razors & Electric Shavers, Men’s Razors & Electric Shavers, Aromatherapy Foot Spa’s and probably the most famous late ‘70’s early ‘80’s product that sticks in my mind - The RemingtonFuzz-Away. Specially designed to remove bobbles of jumper fluff from your woolly pullover (I wonder if they still exist?) I wonder how many of you out there actually remember the advert with Victor Kiam?! Anyway, I’m digressing!
If you are unsure about the Remington Ceramic Straighteners, I can honestly say, they are the best purchase I have made with regard to hair appliances in a long, long time.
I love them and I love my...

I decided to by an epilater after a recommendation from a friend. i was told that epilation was alot better for your skin than shaving, that it was a quick process and would make the hair take longer to grow back.
I admit i chose this particually... more
Here I go again writing about straighteners, except this time I have lots of nice things to say about them because they are brilliant..! Okay so my last pair of straighteners were a little bit rubbish and burnt my hair into little pieces, but these ones... more
