I see all sorts of answers online, but am not fully convinced. I tried finding some research on the longevity of clothes between wash and wash + dry. Considering that it dries for hours just the mechanical movement should damage the clothes I would assume?
What do you suppose you’re removing from the lint trap?
The dead skin of my clothes.

Wat. Mine is always the average colour of the load.
It changes color

It’s a similar reason that if you mix a bunch of crayons together they turn brown. They don’t always turn brown, they just usually do if you use all the colors.
If you dry a load of pure white towels, 100% cotton, you’ll get different lint than if you do all black polyester workout shirts.
