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
The lint, while still in the clothing is significantly more compact than how you’re seeing it in your lint catcher.
So your lint catcher while looking like a lot of fibres is actually mostly just air in between all the lint. If you compacted it down to how it is in your clothing, it would be a very small amount.
