the cable tie will also hold the leg of a stocking or pantyhose.

Hi Betsy
Got them at local grocery store rite near the laundry soap.  They are lint
catchers and fasten on with a regular cable tie. They weren't expensive at all.

Thanks Dan. I'll try Sears or the local hardware 
store. I had to laugh because when I was asking 
about it at Home Depo, the woman who was helping 
me said she didn't have it but that it was a 
great idea. She was going to try a nylon stocking on hers.

Betsy,

I think I wrote about the lint trap on the end of the discharge hose for 
my washing machine.  It is just a stainless steel mesh sock and it is held 
on to the end of the hose with a zip tie.  I thought we got it at Lowes, 
but possibly Home Depot.

As I found out today, not all Lowes carry the same stuff.  I asked three 
different guys today about a sheet goods carrier, and they all adamantly 
insisted that they don't have them, never had them.

Oh yeah, the lint sock stays on quite well for me, but that probably has 
something to do with the fact that I extended the existing hose with a 
piece of old vacuum cleaner hose, so the zip tie catches in the ridges 
quite nicely.
