A distinction is made, among other things, between clothes rolls and carpet rolls . There are reusable (washable) lint rollers with a sticky rubber coating and disposable rollers that are wrapped with double-sided adhesive tape. The roll is provided with a rotatable roll on the handle, which in turn is wrapped with an adhesive paper that can be torn off after use. When the roll is used up, commercially available replacement rolls can be attached. Even stains that have not yet penetrated the textile fiber can be removed using the roller.
