  • Several washes, also having spikey washing machine balls helps


  • I just keep washing them till all the excess fluff comes off.


  • Put them through the washing machine a few times til it stops. That should stop it


  • New towels need to be washed first.


  • Really interesting comments read on this!


  • Lots of washing! I wash mine a couple of times and hang on the line overnight (at least). Finishing them off in the dryer can help too!


  • I think this problem is mostly when they’re new isn’t it? Should reduce over time


  • Wash them first in cold water,


  • this was a great question! i never really have this issue but i use a front loader on cool settings


  • Put them in the dyer to finish drying them works for us


  • 5-10 minutes in the dryer should get the fluff off


  • I use special Velcro balls that you add to wash & they attract the lint


  • Give them a wash and dry in the dryer.


  • Putting in dryer! But I find if you buy good quality towels they seem to lose less fluff!
