Get a lint roller and peel off the first couple sheets. Wrap them, sticky-side-out, around your fingers and pat along the area you wish to remove the lint. You could also do this with tape, but they make lint rollers for the purpose of removing lint.

Duct tape works really well too.

Thanks guys. I have tried the tape deal, but I guess I am not patient enough.

I was hoping there was some cool product where you would take one wipe, and "poof" it would be gone.

You might try blowing everything you can off with high pressure air, say 100 PSI and the using the duct tape to get the rest.

I use my air hose to blow out excess water from cracks from time to time. I had not thought about using it to remove lint, but it makes sense. I will give it a try. Thanks
