Hey there! It's Allison. We all love wearing our cozy sweaters and favorite knits, but no one likes getting fuzzy pillings all over them. So today, I'm gonna show you four simple ways to remove them so you can stay warm and feel free all winter long.
大家好!我是 Allison。我們都喜歡穿上我們舒服的毛衣以及最愛的針織衣，但可沒人喜歡那些衣服上面的毛球。所以今天，我要來展示給你看四種除毛球的簡單方法，讓你可以整個冬天都穿得又暖又舒適。
The first and most important thing to know is to not pull them off with your fingers. This may seem like the easy solution, but you can actually damage the fabric and even ruin it by doing this.
要了解的第一件也是最重要的事情是，不要用手去拔它們。這可能看起來是個簡單輕鬆的辦法，但你這麼做事實上可能會破壞甚至毀了布料。
Option One: Scissors
選項一：剪刀
In my opinion, the easiest way to remove sweater pillings is with scissors, but it can be a little risky. Because if you slip, you could actually cut your garment, so you gotta be careful. First, you wanna lay down your garment flat like we have here. Then you wanna pull it taut so you would see all the pillings. Then you wanna pull up your pilling, take your scissors, and cut really closely to the garment. And you just repeat this until you're pilling-free.
我認為，要除去毛衣上的毛球最簡單的方式就是用剪刀，但這可能有點冒險。因為要是你手滑一下，你可能就會剪到你的衣服，所以你必須小心一點。第一步，你要像我們這樣地把你的衣服攤平。接著你要把它拉緊一點，好讓你看得到所有毛球。然後你捏起你的毛球，拿你的剪刀，並且緊貼著衣物剪下去。只要重複這個動作直到你除去所有毛球即可。
Option Two: Sweater Comb
選項二：毛衣專用毛球梳
A second option is to buy a small comb designed for removing sweater pillings at your local fabric store called a sweater comb. Now, unfortunately, this is a lot different than a hair comb, so you gotta go out and buy one of these. It's got really small teeth which are designed for removing sweater pillings. What you're gonna do is lay your garment flat again and then pull it taut. Then you're gonna take your comb and do gentle brushstrokes until all the pillings are gone. A thing to remember is not to push down too hard so you don't hurt the fabric.
第二個選擇是去附近的紡織品專賣店買一把設計來除毛衣毛球的小梳子，這種梳子叫毛衣專用毛球梳。唉，不幸的是，這跟梳頭髮的梳子很不一樣，所以你必須出門買這種的。它有被設計來除去毛衣毛球的小小梳齒。你要做的事情就是再一次把你的衣服攤平，然後把它拉緊。接著你就拿出你的梳子，然後輕梳直到所有的毛球都除完。要注意的一件事就是不要壓得太大力，這樣你才不會傷到布料。
Option Three: Sweater Stone
選項三：毛衣專用去毛球石
If you can't find a sweater comb, another great option is a sweater stone. You can also find this at your local fabric store. So what you're gonna do is lay your garment out flat and pull it taut just like we did before. Then you're gonna brush it all in the same direction. If you do decide to use this stone, just be careful because it does make a little bit of a mess.
如果你找不到毛衣專用毛球梳的話，另一個也很讚的選擇是毛衣專用去毛球石。你一樣可以在你附近的紡織品專賣店找到這個。你要做的事情就是像我們剛剛一樣把衣服攤平拉緊。接著你以同樣的方向刷那些毛球。如果你真的決定要用這種石頭，小心一點就好，因為它的確會搞得有點亂。
Option Four: Sweater Shaver
選項四：毛衣除毛球機
The last and final option, which is my personal favorite, is the sweater shaver. You can get this at your local sewing store or at Target. I got mine at Bed Bath & Beyond. They're a little bit more pricey, but they have a lot more power so they'll get the job done. All you have to do is put it some double A batteries, turn it on, and then move it in circular motions over your garment where there are lots of pillings. And then it will be gone in seconds. And you know it's working because you can actually see the pillings in the clear box on the bottom.
最後且最終的選擇，也是我個人最愛的，就是毛衣除毛球機。你可以在你附近的縫紉店或是百貨公司 Target 買到這個。我是在衛浴用品店 Bed Bath & Beyond 買到的。它們比較貴一點，但它們有更多的動力能完成除毛球的任務。你只要放進幾個三號電池、打開它，然後在衣物上有許多毛球的地方畫圓移動。它一下就會不見了。你也會知道它很有用，因為你可以確實在下方透明的盒子裡面看到毛球。
Sweater pillings are typically a result of excessive wear. So the best way to avoid the problem altogether is to wash your sweater only when it needs it; and when you do, fold it inside out. We hope these solutions help keep you pilling-free. I'm Allison. See you next time on Fabs How-To.
毛衣的毛球通常是因過於頻繁的穿著而產生。所以要一勞永逸的方式就是只在你的毛衣需要清洗的時候再洗；當你洗的時候，將它翻面洗。我們希望這些方法可以幫助你遠離毛球困擾。我是 Allison。我們下集 Fabs How-To 再見。
