    Yep, I think of them as a cheap exfoliator LOL

    We got navy Sheridan towels as a wedding present but have never been able to use them as they put blue lint over everyone who uses them. Sheridan suggested putting them through the clothes dryer a few times (which would be good if we had one). So the moral of the story is don't get dark coloured towels if you don't have a clothes dryer.

    Been very happy with my Country Road towels.

    They have the towels located near the layby rack so I've read the sign about them , hmm prob 100 times...

    Target suggest NOT to use fabric softener on them, and if you do , a little bit of dishwashing liquid to bring them back up again...

    anyone else read this?

    Most towel labels suggest no fabric softener due to the fact it reduces absorbancy so defeats the purpose. I hate the slimy feeling on stuff if someone uses fabric softener, I can feel it. The egyptian cotton towels always come out feeling soft anyway so no need to add any softener.

    Saffi- my sister's DP wanted black towels and now that they have them he wants white towels for the exact reason they put lint on everything. I might suggest to her to hijack mum and dad's dryer when she visits next to see if that helps!

    Yep - Sheridan bath sheet users here too, I am definitely a towel snob. My MIL bought us some cheap-ar$e towels last Christmas that are useless, after using them my hair is still sopping wet and the towels are crap (and already fraying after a few uses, they are now in the back of the linen cupboard), spending good money on towels is definitely one of my luxuries
