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.

The short answer is no. I have had no problem with them except they are not soft but I have noticed they are getting better with each wash. Having so much cotton in them (820 grams) I expect them to last a long time and to get progressively better with age, and yes I will buy them again as I am impressed by them.

I am not sure. I have never done this. I have never had any lint problem with them from any type clothing, but have never gotten them wet. I have three full closets of them (5 boxes) and love the way they look. They are sturdy enough for blazers. Sorry to not be more help.

I have never had this problem you speak of. I only used this a handful of times because professionally this is not a good dryer.

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.

I wash with towels, cold water and bleach. I use dryer balls or dryer sheets. They are holding up really well.

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.

I would not recommend these towels to anyone....they are crap. They are made out of the same material that bed sheets are made of. They do not absorb water at all and you can't even use them as hand towels. If you do buy these, just don't get them too dirty and use bleach when you wash them. Sorry for the negativity, but I thought you should know.

The towels are extremely absorbant despite the very tight weave. These are the best towels I have ever bought, anywhere, and I am 76 years old, so I have bought a few towels in my life. They DO take a little longer to dry than less tightly woven towels, but in my opinion, it is well worth the weight to have towels that are so cheaply made you can almost see through them! I bought these when the NOT inexpensive set of towels I purchased from JC Penney were so sleazy I returned them with a letter about exactly what I think of the poor quality of their merchandise in the past several years. One used to be able to count on JCP for quality merchandise, but sadly, this is no longer true. I was delighted to find the Pinzon towels. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that they are NOT made in China...... :)

No, that is the beauty of them. They are like thick plush towels but for the floor. Perfect to wash, without rubber coming off in the dryer. I love mine!!! I will be buying more.

I have never had that happen. I throw mine in the washer with a few prs. of jeans and they come out clean. I DO NOT put them in the dryer... I air dry them. Maybe its time to buy some new ones? I found that they lose their absorbancy after 2 yrs. of using.

to the best our knowledge they are. THis is why we bought them, tho i can't say i know a lot about the standards applied and certifications checked! It matters to us because of the cultivation of cotton can be so toxic. They are nice towels though, we were pleased. At first they didn't seem to soak up as much water but when we washed them they were nicer and did. Maybethere was some sizing on them! not sure but they felt nice right away. I hope that helps!

No they are not. Ginsu recommends hand washing with mild detergent and towel drying right in the "use & care" paper included. Obviously some chose not to read or follow that information.

Yes, they are lint free after washing. I love these flour sack towels, I've purchased them twice over the years and they're very sturdy and large!

I bought them for their absorbency and workhorse quality. For show? Perhaps if they were freshly washed. I don't do much for show so can't really comment.

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.
