cleaning lint in the washing machine

[http://dummy.us.eu.org/robert (Robert)]

There is no way to clean the lint in the washing machine.  Apparently, it
is filtered and put into the drain.

I wonder if your "washing" of that book caused the kitchen drain to
back-up?

Anyway, I'll try to regularly use the drain cleaner to prevent it in the
kitchen drain; don't know if there will eventually be a problem in the
laundry room drain.
