There's nothing worse than putting on your favourite knitwear or coat only to find it absolutely covered in bobbles, right?

Sure, we’ve all tried a few DIY techniques, from dabbing with Sellotape to very gently gliding a razor across the fabric. But, chances are, you’ve had no luck getting rid of the lint.

Searching for a solution? Meet Philips’ Fabric Shaver, a £15.99 gadget that's the solution to keeping all your clothes in mint condition. With thousands of five-star reviews, some customers even call it “a magic little tool” that everyone should own.
