Abstract: A compact and transportable lint remover (10). The lint remover (10) includes a tubular housing (12) having a closed end (16), an open end (18), and an interior chamber (14) therebetween. A spindle (26) is movable between a stowed position in which the entire spindle (26) is within the chamber (14) and a deployed position in which a majority of the spindle (26) protrudes from the chamber (14) through the open end (18) of the housing (12). A cover (22) is pivotally coupled to the housing (12) and movable between a closed position in which the cover (22) closes the open end (18) of the housing (12) to prevent the spindle (26) from being deployed, and an open position that allows the spindle (26) to be deployed through the open end (18) of the housing (12). A adhesive-bearing roller (46) is rotatably mounted on the spindle (26) and secured thereon by a retention cap (44).
