(3 pack) Mainstays Stainless Steel Mesh Lint Traps 2-Pack for Washer Hose Filter

This review is for the Mainstays Stainless Steel Lint traps. They are simple. I did not see any review complaining of rust or product disintegration. That means they are a quality stainless mesh product. These work and may prevent a very large problem. I never knew I needed these. I thought they were overkill. Problems, sometimes, unexpectantly happens. My other half is an X-File fan and was given a gift of an X-File T-shirt from a producer of the show. For being 30 years old, the shirt appeared in good condition but upon washing it totally disintegrated into shards of thread and tiny pieces of cloth. Yep, that large laundry sink drain did become blocked and filled up the 15-gallon laundry tub and spilled over flooding the room. Using a lint trap made me aware how much stuff is thrown down the drain. With synthetic fabrics, even its fuzzy lint will not rot away into mush and be flushed away and out of your life. It may take a decade or so for the polyester fuzz balls clog to form, but they may haunt you with a very difficult problem. The lint traps are easy to use. I unrolled them, slipped the open end of the lint catching bag over the drain hose and used the rubber band to attach temporarily and then placed the provided zip-tie to pull it snug and tight.
