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!

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.

Yes they are lint-y. The dryer lint trap fills up. They leave a little lint on the mirror when I wipe it. They are so soft, however, that I forgive the lintiness.

We have the same issue. Have had them since April. Was thinking of throw it in the washing machine with some older towels inside out. Any thoughts?

I put them in the washer and have put them in the dryer and it doesn't seem to bother them. The only thing is that the edges pick up lint from the dryer. They are invincible!

Never had that problem. Check what you are washing them with or your dishwasher soap.

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!

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.

Mine is just fine... just as good as new. I use it everyday to dry towels, and LOVE it. Most likely you overloaded it. Although is is sturdy, it does have a low weight load limit.

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

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...... :)

Yes these towels really are made from linen and they do a superb job of cleaning (in general) and drying (especially glassware of any kind). Totally lint free, absorbent, and they just work super well.

We've washed some of them as needed. But as Kelli commented, be sure they dry out completely.

I've been washing them on the highest heat with steam and adding vinegar. Dry them on my normal dry setting. No issues yet, I've washed mine about 10 times so far and no problems

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.

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.
