Rollaway Lint Remover is distributed by Apex Products Co., 1906 S. Arlington Ave., Los Angeles; $2.95 complete; replacement roils $1. Though showing no resemblance to the conventional clothesbrush, the Rollaway Lint Remover does an excellent job of removing lint and other surface dirt from clothing, upholstery, and even smooth surfaces such as desks and counter tops.

Linty materials, of course, are picked up and adhere to the sticky surface of the tape. When the roller has become coated with lint, the surface can be cleaned and re newed by wiping off with a clean soft rag saturated with a little household cleaning sol vent (of the non-flammable type, of course--and do not breathe the fumes, which are always poisonous). This proc ess has its limitations, since the surface of the tape loses sticki ness with this treatment, but
