If I keep washing and drying my clothes, will my clothes eventually disappear?
Is there any way to use this lint constructively?
You know how socks always end up missing? The dryer lint is the digested remains of those socks. 
Your clothes will get holes and fall apart before they disappear. Sorry, I know of no way to use the lint constructively.
Yes, some of your clothes will eventually disappear.
Since I find the most lint comes from stuff like cotton towels, you might be able to compost it. Even the fibers that don’t biodegrade would probably be somewhat beneficial to the soil.
How about mixing it in with paper pulp in a blender and making a nifty parchmety product for stuff that would be more nifty on a parchmenty product?
Dryer lint appears to be fibrous enough to contribute to a nice paper.
I’m at work right now, is there anyone at home who could try this aut now and report back?
“aut” is actually a legitemate spelling variant of “out.”
It’s Australian…the Aussies closely guard their dialectical anomolies from outsiders so don’t expect any to support me on this.
aut, as in “Fair dinkum, mate, the tubes are AUT by the barbie.”
I put the dryer lint in one of our many birdhouses around the yard. They seem to appreciate it.
Just an hour or so ago, we took in and cleaned our Bluebird bird house, and there was stuff in it that just like lint. Next february, we’ll save some from the dryer for our spring nesters. (We didn’t get Bluebirds, but a Wren. Ah well.)
Thanks, Gato
Nice idea! I don’t have any birdhouses, but I’ll remember that. I stand by what I said about the socks though! 
Some large commercial laundries recycle their dryer lint by donating it to mortuaries. They stuff casket pillows with it.
Parchlint?
Ever notice that your clothes shrink and the fabric becomes thinner everytime you put them through the dryer? That’s where dryer lint comes from.
I’ve actually found a very good use for dryer lint. When I’m done changing the oil in my car I use it to clean up spilled oil and the containers I collected the oil in. It soaks up oil like you wouldn’t believe.
You’re lucky if you lose both socks, I lose just one. A pair of socks for me is quite often one black and one blue.
Funnily enough I have two pairs of socks like that, one black and one blue though. :eek:

You could make a 1920’s style death ray that will not set off metal detectors.
But wouldn’t the ray ignite the fuzz?
I guess I should have said a disposable 1920’s style death ray
Another use: If you ever go camping, dryer lint makes great tinder. It’s the only thing that I’ve ever seen actually catch from flint and steel sparks. Of course, this might be less relevant if you prefer to start fires by the “whole lotta matches” approach.
In doing research for composting, I’ve read several times that one can use lint from clothing made of 100% organic fibers, and not artificial fibers.
Why? I don’t know. This may have scientific fact to it, or it may be the folk wisdom of organomaniacs.
Peace.
Dryer lint v. Belly-button lint.
Or you could decide never to wash your clothes to prevent the creation of dryer lint.
However, if you follow this suggestion be aware that your bellybutton will consume your clothes. That’s where bellybutton lint come from; eating the bottom of your shirts and the waistband of your pants.
You don’t have to put the lint into the birdhouses; if you put it where you will see it through the house windows, you will get to watch them come grab some for their nests–in the Spring.
How many nests will be lined with magenta, how many with blue, how many will match the coat of your dog…
