There are massive bits of rug on all the clothes and spinning them in the dryer does NOT remove them. They are sticky bits and hard to even hand-pick off the clothing.

Thank you for any help or advice!

Take affected items outdoors and brush off lint with lint brush. Sometimes wiping with damp cloth or using sticky tape can pick up lint. There will be no quick fix for removing lint.

It is just a regular throw rug - nothing special. It isn't the back, non-skid part, it is the green bushy stuff front the top of the rug... not lint. Even tape wrapped around my hand doesn't get it off very well.
