Abstract: Disclosed is a lint roller having a handle by which the lint roller may be gripped and held and with an elongate spindle for carrying an encircling replaceable lint catching roll, wherein the handle grip is an elongate canister/tubular housing that the spindle and lint-catching roll may be slidingly inserted into and housed within when the lint roller is not in use; and the lint roller further has a bi-directional coupling body, the coupling body having a coupling device configured whereby the handle may be attached in one orientation to act as a handle or de-mounted and attached in an opposing orientation to act as the housing for the lint-catching roll. The coupling device preferably includes a unitary screw thread around the circumference of the coupling body at an intermediate zone along its length whereby the handle may reach it and couple with it from either end of the coupling body.
