Abstract
A lint removal device with an adhesive side has a pair of spaced apart apertures to receive the fingers of an operator for holding the device while it is brought into contact with a garment or other clothing article to remove particulate matter from the article. When the fingers are inserted through the apertures, the adhesive sticks to the fingers to hold the device securely to the hand. A release liner is provided to protect the adhesive surface during storage and transportation. The lint removal device is also provided in a bulk pad wherein each of the devices is separated by a release liner which has an adhesive strip to hold the devices together in the pad.
