There is a customer image that shows an incredible amount of dryer lint from these towels. Is everyone experiencing this problem?

Yes, they are terrible! I've had them for over a year and still get a ton of lint from the lint filter. I would never buy them again!

I use bleach regularly and they are great. I don't use fabric softener in the washing machine but I do use a dryer sheet. The towels are terrific and they haven't degraded at all.

In the past I wrote a review. I ordered these towels about a year ago and they were more than marvelous. Because of this I ordered more of them for my daughter and daughter-in-laws for Mother's Day this past May. I ordered the SAME towels from the SAME company and they were awful. They were very crinckly. Unless they've changed back to the original towels, It would be difficult to embroider on them.

When you first use them they do but if you wash them first its not as bad. After the 2nd wash the lint was virtually eliminated, at least it was for me.

Yes, they are very, very washed. They used to be good, but they are garbage now. Not to mention, the customer service is deplorable.

I have not had this problem, with these towels, but I have with dish towels. Try a splash of vinegar in your washing machine.

I have 2 of the runners and also a rug. I noticed that it takes a long time to dry even in the dryer and there is a lot of lint every time when laundered.

I did not wash them before the first use and had no qualms about it. That said, the towels are more absorbent after the first washing. Once the order is placed, the company will send an email with care instructions. I continue to enjoy this product.

This is from the description: "Constructed of 24-ounce (commercial weight) higher density cotton, these towels are washed at high temperatures with bleach agents to ensure minimal shrinkage." I think it indicates the quality of the fabric. Each towel is thin and light.

I've not had that problem, but i did clean a lot of lint from it. I turned it over and first cleaned the brushes. There was a lot if lintbehind them that i just pulled out with my fingers. You may need better bags too.

I've washed mine over 10 times and they are still in very nice condition. They are thick, soft and absorbent. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of these towels for the price. I would recommend them without hesitation.

They do have a lot of lint.......haven't found a towel that doesn't.....the Egyptian cotton is the best towels I have found and these specific ones are just great......I now have six and plan to order more. I think the amount of lint will diminish with each washing.....but think you will always have lint from them. Hope this is helpful.....I would suggest you try a couple (they come in twos) and I believe you will be very happy with them.

Yes Kevin! I've been using them since December 13 and I've washed my car, and sometimes my wife's SUV, every single weekend with fail. And thus far the towels still look and work great....like new. Although I might add that it's probably because I only use these towels for the body of the vehicle...ie I use different towels (old beat-up & 100% cotton) my rims & tires.

I did not have this problem. My dish towels were quite absorbent, even though they are very thin. I also do not use fabric softener when I dry them.

No, not at all. I washed my newest set before using them for the first time & they did great. I have a set that I've had for about 12 years now that are still perfect.

I have found them to be very absorbent. They are very cushy and really soak up water. Also, btw, using less fabric softener (I use half a sheet instead of a whole sheet) can make towels more absorbent.

I have done a lot of research into that ,they are made by a company called Aunt Martha's although they all come with a tag 100% cotton ,made in india . Now I am not sure if the cotton is grown and milled there or if they actually make the towels . They are well made and very durable when used and washed . I myself have been trying to find where I can get them wholesale rather than retail ,cost is killing me, lots of work and little profit embroidering them. But haven't had any luck finding anyone but Amazon who sells them cheep enough. There is another company that sells wholesale towels called Hoffmen but they sell only terry cloth and the few that are not are linen only.
