How does my clothes dryer’s lint catcher get so full, yet my clothes don’t fall apart? Where does all this lint come from?
In: Chemistry
On top of the comments I’m seeing here, your clothes pick up bits of chaff, linen, and fiber that aren’t part of them : pet hair, your hair, carpet fiber, lint from this like scarves and hats in the winter that comes off even between washings, bits of fiber in the dust around us, etc. So not 100% of what accumulates in the lint filter is your clothes wearing away.
(Probably skin cells, too.)
