Q: Is there replacement sandpaper inserts? The sandpaper insert came out of the gleaner while in use. Seems wasteful to throw away and purchase more plastic if not.

submitted by Sandy - 4 months ago
  • A: Yes, we can absolutely help with that. Please email us at info@gleener.com, and we’ll be happy to send you a replacement insert. Also, if the edge simply popped out while you were using it, you can usually snap it right back into place. It’s designed that way so the Sweater Saver can be fully recyclable at the end of its life, we definitely don’t want you having to toss it unnecessarily.

This lint shaver has received mixed feedback from guests, with some praising its effectiveness on durable fabrics like canvas and fleece, while others found it damaging to delicate materials such as sweaters. Many guests appreciated its ability to remove pilling and lint, making clothes look new again. However, caution is advised for use on softer fabrics, as it may cause more harm than good. Overall, it serves well for tougher materials but may not be suitable for all types of clothing.

    Doesn't work

    This doesn’t work. This “comb” is actually like a piece of sand paper. It doesn’t pick up pills but damages the fabric and makes it fuzzy.

    Hi there, It sounds like the fabric you were working with may not have been the best match. The Gleener Sweater Saver is designed specifically for medium-weight fabrics, especially sweaters. For more delicate or varied fabrics, our Gleener Fabric Shaver & Lint Brush (also sold at Target) includes three interchangeable edges made for different fabric types, including delicates, so you can safely customize your approach. If you’d like help determining which edge or product is best for your garment, we’d be happy to help please feel free to reach out to our team. info@gleener.com

    Too rough for sweaters

    It's more like sandpaper than a shaver. The gentlest of the 3 heads still ruined the surface of my sweater. I regret using it.
    1 reply from Gleener team - 5 months ago
    Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear this was your experience. The Gleener is designed to be used very lightly and matched carefully to fabric type, but we recognize that it may not be the right tool for every material or preference. We appreciate you taking the time to share this and will pass your comments along to our team.

    Blanket saver!

    I did not have very high hopes for this item because of the low price point, I had just hoped it would work 'well enough.' Well I was pleasantly surprised with this little guy! Please note, I only used this for one type of fabric, a fleece blanket. I purchased a bunch of fleece blankets from another store and had a weird issue with three of them. They somehow collected chunks of brown lint, likely a mixture of colors from all three, I just do not know how it happened. I tried washing and drying with different detergents, together, separate and dryer balls. It was recommended to me to try some kind of lint shaver next. I did not want to spend $20+ on something that may or may not work, so I gave this a try. I could not believe how well it worked! Granted it did take a while because it is a full size blanket, it was completely worth it. The little lint pieces were ruining my daughter's socks and i didn’t want to throw out three new blankets just because of that. I got this and one other shaver and they were both inexpensive and worked fantastic!

    Works ONLY On Sturdy Material

    This works magnificently on tough, durable material like canvas, denim, linen or cotton. It saved my canvas bag and made it look almost new. HOWEVER, I would NOT use this on delicate sweaters, what it’s advertised for, I’d use a traditionally fabric shaver. It will only damage the fabric.
    1 reply from Gleener team - 3 months ago
    Thank you so much for the thoughtful review. We are thrilled it worked so well on your canvas bag and durable fabrics! The Sweater Saver includes Edge 2, which is designed for medium weight fabrics. For customers looking for more versatility across different fabric types, our Original Gleener Fabric Shaver includes three interchangeable edges, including one specifically designed for delicate knits like merino wool and cashmere. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience and the detailed feedback. It is always helpful for other customers!

    Pulls on delicate or woven fabric

    This was dumb, it pulls on delicate or woven fabrics (like every sweater ever made). Maybe if you have a heavy duty fabric this would work, but otherwise it causes more damage than it helps. Get yourself a battery operated lint shaver and save yourself the headache of returning this when it doesn’t work.
    1 reply from Gleener team - 1 year ago
    Hi Mel, We’re sorry to hear that you didn’t have a great experience with the Gleener Sweater Saver. This particular version features Edge #2, which is optimized for medium-weight fabrics like merino, finer wool blends, and some synthetics. It’s designed to be gentle yet effective—but we totally understand that results can vary depending on the type of fabric and how it's used. If you're working with especially delicate knits or lightweight sweaters, our original Gleener Fabric Shaver & Lint Brush (which includes three different edges for a range of fabrics) may be a better fit. We appreciate your feedback and would love to help find the right solution for your wardrobe. Feel free to reach out to our customer care team—we’re always happy to offer tips, guidance, or support with returns.

    Didn't work for me

    Didn’t do anything for my sweater, I wanted to like it, it did nothing. I’m going to try a battery operated one.
    1 reply from Gleener team - 1 year ago
    Hi Suzie, Thanks for giving the Gleener Sweater Saver a try—we’re sorry to hear it didn’t work as expected. The Sweater Saver includes our medium-duty Edge #2, which is best suited for moderate pilling on mid-weight fabrics. Results can sometimes depend on fabric type, technique, or even the angle and pressure used. We totally understand the decision to explore other options, but if you’re open to it, we’d love to help troubleshoot and ensure it was being used on a compatible fabric. We’re proud that our tools are battery-free, eco-friendly, and safe on clothing when used correctly. Please feel free to contact our customer care team—we're happy to provide tips or help with next steps. Your feedback truly helps us improve.

    Used on my couch

    I was browsing target and found this. Our couch has a good amount of pilling and this works well to remove the pilling. I wouldn’t use this on anything softer because I feel like it would snag really bad. But great for what I needed it to do.

    Too rough for sweaters

    If you wouldn't consider scraping down your sweaters with a piece of sandpaper, then don't buy this product because that's essentially what this is. I used it on a cheap coat, but it's way too harsh to use on any sweaters. I don't even think it would work. I'm tossing it out.
    1 reply from Gleener team - 1 year ago
    Hello, Gleener comes with three different attachments. The white one is specifically designed for delicate fabrics such as cashmere summer knits and is safe to use for tackling pilling on both natural wool and synthetic blends. Please have a look at the product video to see how to safely use it on everything from a jersey t-shirt to heavy duty upholstery.

    Not a good buy!

    This was horrible! I really wanted to like it but I just couldn’t do it. It did not work at all. Save your money and just buy the battery powered one. It just kept snagging on the material and did not remove any fuzz at all.
    1 reply from Gleener team - 1 year ago
    Snagging can sometimes happen if the fabric being de-pilled is too delicate or stretchy. The Gleener works best on flat, stable surfaces, so laying your fabric flat and holding it taut can make a big difference. We’d love for you to give it another shot on different fabrics or materials. If you’d like more guidance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly. We’re here to help you get the best results possible. Thank you for giving us a try, and we appreciate your honest feedback.
