It can be very annoying to find that there are tissue paper or tissue residue on your clothes when you take them out of the washing machine. Hopefully, this mistake will remind you to check the pockets of all garments before putting them in the washing machine. You can solve the problem by putting your clothes in the dryer, using a mixture of aspirin and hot water, or simply picking off the scraps of paper by hand.

To step

Method 1 of 3: Shake or dry the clothes

1. Shake off the clothes. Make sure you do this over a trash can or some other place that is easy to clean. Shake the clothes several times to remove as much of the tissue paper residue as possible.
   • Use a clothes brush to remove any bits of paper that are still sticking to your clothes.
2. Wipe up the scraps of paper. Sweep up and discard any pieces that fall to the floor. This way you can get rid of the first pieces that are easy to remove. Sweep up the pieces from the ground if you do this outside. Many tissues contain dyes, and chemicals should not end up in nature.
3. Put the clothes in the dryer. The fluff filter will remove all or most of the paper residues.
   • Run the dryer through the drying program one more time to remove the last residue.

Method 2 of 3: Using aspirin

1. Put the paper-covered clothes in hot water. Grab a plastic bucket and add four aspirin tablets to the water. How much water you need depends on how many clothes are involved, but you usually need about 7.5 liters of water.
2. Mix until the aspirin is dissolved. Aspirin dissolves paper tissues and tissues instantly. It is especially helpful if there are scraps of paper in the pockets and lining of your clothes, as well as on the outside. Aspirin is completely safe and not bad for your clothes.
3. Let the wet clothes dry. After you have soaked the clothes overnight, dry them on the lowest setting in the dryer. In this way, the clothes are dried in a gentle way, so that they are clean again and you can wear them again.

Method 3 of 3: Remove the remnants of paper by hand

1. Pick up any pieces of paper that the dryer missed from the fabric. These pieces are usually more difficult to remove because they are stuck to the fabric. Once they have been loosened by the dryer, you should be able to remove them entirely by hand.
2. Use masking tape or tape to remove the scraps of paper. Masking tape works well and duct tape even better because it is so strong. Wrap the tape around your hand with the adhesive side out and dab the clothes with it. The pieces of paper should stick to the tape and be easy to remove from the fabric.
3. Use a lint roller. A lint roller is inexpensive and can be purchased at almost any household goods store. Roll it over your clothes, and the pieces of paper and lint should stick to it.
