I asked this earlier but it got buried in all my verbiage.

Can SOMEONE please tell me if its normal to see fuzzy things on my shak? It doesn't smell but does that mean its time to wash it, or does it need a lint brushing, or is something really wrong? I wouldn't really call it pilling, its just starting to get covered in small fuzzy stuff. If I lint brush it off, which direction do I go. Someone had posted that it is normal to see this stuff, and to wash it with jeans to get it off, but I have been hand washing alone with woolite, isn't that safer, or is that what I have to do????
