Some will not use it because of the lint, and as you say, you prefer a thread that makes little mess and that is often the reason why they also do not use it.

I tend to spray areas as I go once I know that the markings are not needed any more and when complete I give it a really good soaking spray. If it is of a manageable size I will dunk it in COLD water, but they can be very heavy to handle when wet and in the winter I have nowhere big enough to dry some of them.
