Hi all
I have 2 lovely navy blue towels that, despite half a dozen washes or so, are still shedding fluff all over the place!! I never use softener on towels - only the laundry powder. I don't want to get rid of them because they cost me quite a but, being egyptian and also this would just be wasteful.
Any tips?:oDawnie :j0 -
I would also like to hear of any tips please! I bought 8 black towels a few months ago and we have ivory carpet all through the house. The fluff is driving me insane! I don't want to replace them as they were expensive but I need to do something.....The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight shoes.0

Hi Dawnie,
There's and earlier thread that may help so I've added your thread to it to keep the suggestions together.

when i moved i got new teatowels but found the fluff was a problem with glasswear - i just used an old linen towel for glasswhere for a couple of months untill the teatowels (cheap) had stopped shedding - i only changed the tea towels as the old oned did not match the new kitchen.
my asda towels like the cheap tea towels stopped shedding after 2-3 months and are so much softer than the older ones so stick with it.Dogs return to eat their vomit, just as fools repeat their foolishness. There is no more hope for a fool than for someone who says, "i am really clever!"0 -
I've never had a problem with towels (tea towels or bath towels) shedding - I only use soap powder when I was them, but I always do them on a 60 ºC wash and then if I can hang them out to dry. I wonder if the temperature that they are being washed at makes a difference?
I rarely tumble them as I like my towels to be rough and scratchy rather than soft (feel that soft just moves the dampness around my skin and doesn't dry me properly )0 -
Can anyone offer any more advice? We've had brown ones from M&S for a couple of years now and I still end up covered in fluff when I dry?!
They were a Christmas present as we wanted some nice fluffy towels, but now I end up using the old worn ones as the brown aren't worth the hassel!!! So any tips people have would be greatly received to finally make my towels useable0 -
