I just bought these towels in red (4 bath & 2 hand towels) on sale yesterday at Kmart because the color was great, they looked & felt really nice & plush. I followed the label instructions on how to wash them. I expected to see some lint come off the towels from the 1st washing & drying. But I was NOT expecting the mess that these towels created in my washing machine & my drain basin. When I say there was a LOT of lint, that doesn't even sum up what these towels left behind. I had to hand scrape out the lint wads/balls that covered the inside of my washing machine. I thought after putting them in the dryer the remaining lint would be removed. Boy was I wrong! My lint trap was so full with red lint, you would have thought I had not cleaned it out for over a month. I have now washed & dried these towels 3 times & still the lint balls keep coming. The lint balls just won't come off the towels. So when you try to dry yourself it leaves red lint balls all over your body, the bathtub & the bathroom floor. So you have to get another towel to get the lint off your body, you have to rinse out the bathtub & you have to vacuum/clean the bathroom floor. I have given up & will be returning these towels ASAP. So not only am I inconvenienced on having to drive back to the store to return these horrible towels but I am out even more money from having to wash them in warm water 3 times & drying them 3 times.
