defluff
Clear fabric fibers
Defluff means to remove lint, fuzz, or loose fibers from fabric, clothing, or upholstered surfaces.
You might defluff a sweater with a lint roller before a job interview, or defluff couch cushions that have accumulated pet hair.
The word extends to figurative uses in editing and writing, where to defluff a document means to strip out unnecessary padding or filler: I need to defluff this essay before submitting it.
