lint traps
Dryer fuzz collectors
Lint traps are mesh screens or filters in clothes dryers that catch loose fibers shed from fabric during tumbling.
They require regular cleaning to maintain airflow and prevent fire hazards.
The term extends to any device that captures lint or debris: Check the lint trap before running a load.
Figuratively, something that collects unwanted accumulation: My inbox has become a lint trap for spam.
