Does anyone know how to get pollen off clothes? I have tried everything i could think off... any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
 
I would imagine that it's practically impossible to remove or avoid given that pollen is all around us and the spores are measured in micro metres (µm or um). Perhaps you actually mean something like removing from clothes the stains that pollen (especially from lilies for example) cause? I think that can be tricky as some of this stuff acts like a dye. Lilies in particular are a bugger and it's quite possible that the stain cannot be removed.
 
I use a lint roller (the sticky paper type) for pollen on clothes - it only works if you haven't rubbed the pollen in though.

I usually cut the pollen thingys off the lilies when they open. I have two cats - the pollen is poisionous and can actually kill them.
 
Thanks for replies. I didnt know that about cats delgirl... must tell my lilly-loving friend that has cats!
