The Best Way to Remove Burrs From Clothing

    • 1). Wash the clothes as you would a regular load of laundry and dry them in the dryer or on a clothesline. This softens the burrs and weakens the grip they have on your clothes.

    • 2). Place each article of clothing on a clean, flat surface.

    • 3). Slide the teeth of a plastic small-tooth comb as far as you can beneath the burr and flick upward. This will remove most, if not all, of each burr's bristles.

    • 4). Tear a piece of duct tape from the roll and wrap it snugly around your hand, taping the ends together with the sticky side facing out.

    • 5). Dab the duct tape across the area the burrs previously covered as if you're using a cloth to blot a stain or liquid spill. This will grab any of the last remaining burr bristles still stuck in the clothing.

    • 6). Turn each article of clothing inside out and dab the duct tape on the opposite side of the affected area. Burr bristles can sometimes embed themselves so deeply into clothing fibers, they come through the clothes to the other side and may itch and irritate skin.
