a sticky roll used to remove lint and other particles from fabrics

A lint roller is a cleaning tool used to remove lint, dust, and small debris from clothing, furniture, and other fabric surfaces. It consists of a handle and a roll of sticky paper that can be peeled off layer by layer. To use a lint roller, one simply rolls the sticky surface over the fabric, and the debris sticks to the paper. Lint rollers are commonly used for removing pet hair, dust, and crumbs from clothes, as well as for quick cleanups on upholstery and car seats. They are portable and easy to use for maintaining a clean appearance.
