Speaking of lint from washers.....one of the best cheap preventive measures
you can get is to go to your neighborhood True Value store and buy a lint
trap to go on the end of your washer discharge. It looks sort of like a
plastic net condom. You used a wire tire to fasten it on. Check it every few
months. You will be surprised how much lint you collect

My washer goes into a sump pump and before I started using these I would
have to disassemble my pump (a dirty job!) about every 6 months. By
replacing the trap regularly, I have avoided this nasty task.
