American Soft Linen 100% Cotton Luxury Turkish Towels, 6 Piece Towel Set

Possibly like others, I'm the sort of person who, when looking for something on Amazon, I'll buy the item which has the most reviews, thinking you can't go wrong with something that's clearly pleased thousands of others above a plethora of other options. And, thus, I hardly ever check said reviews. Seeing that the product(s) have more reviews than any other listed item is enough to sell me on it. It's sometimes only after I've placed my order & it's possibly even shipped that I bother to check what people are saying about the item, just out of curiosity. Which is what I did with the towels & washcloths I ordered here. And I panicked when I saw all the negative reviews about the extreme amounts of lint these items produce in washers, dryers, & upon other items, as well as the people using them. It was discerning to read that people were even having to empty their lint traps multiple times during a cycle due to it. Or, that they were having to clean out their washers, because it was stuck everywhere inside. But I couldn't cancel my order because they were already on their way to me by this point. So I said I'd give them a shot. Wash them, dry them, & try them. If I was unhappy, I'd simply return them & start looking elsewhere. I'm glad I didn't just immediately return them as soon as the box arrived. I might be one of few, but these towels & washcloths have caused me 0 issues. I don't know that it matters, but for reference, we have a Maytag 3000 Series matching set of washer & dryer. In terms of water: we have well water without a water softener, but we of course have a filter. So, the water could make a difference. Ours doesn't have a bunch of chemicals like fluoride & chlorine, unlike city water. When I washed them (on their own, I might add, since I was already paranoid about a mess—didn't want to be picking lint off clothing later if I could avoid it; I have enough on my plate), I put in only Tide Original liquid detergent. No fabric softener, no scent beads. Nothing fancy. Once the cycle was done, there was thankfully no lint in the washer. So, I then put everything into the dryer, forgoing including a dryer sheet. (You might wonder why I used only the detergent when washing. I read reviews on here, & in an article that when you get new towels & do your first wash or two, to not use fabric softener or dryer sheets, as it can make the issue of lint worse.) I checked the lint trap three times during the drying cycle, as I was afraid that it'd get full multiple times as the dryer ran. Instead, it was full about three-fourths of the way through, so I emptied it. When I went to retrieve the laundry about 15 minutes later once it was done, the trap was still empty. I did include a picture of how much lint my dryer collected during the cycle, with the base of a wire hanger underneath for reference. In terms of how thick the lint was, I'd say it's about how much our dryer accumulates after perhaps 2 cycles. So not bad at all. And you have to remember that these items are brand new. Something is going to come off. Then came the big test: time to shake out a towel & a washcloth, & see how much of a mess they make. So I opened our back door & stepped out, as I didn't want it all over the laundry room, & I shook a towel first, then a washcloth, as hard as I could. And I was shocked! Only a couple tiny strings came off the towel. That's it. No lint from either. No strings even from the washcloth. So I'm pleased in there being 0 mess. I did, a couple days later, have enough laundry to do another load. So, I put another towel & washcloth in, & used fabric softener this time, as well as a dryer sheet in the dryer. Once again, no problems. No lint. Onto size: I've also seen reviews of people complaining that either in the packaging or after washing & drying, the towels are/become flat. I didn't experience that. I've included pictures of the towels & washcloths both measured & compared to ones we've been using. For the washcloth: the grey one lying next to the white one I bought is one of my favorite washcloths that we have. I actually thought it was large, compared to many of our other ones! Imagine my surprise. Finally, I came to the most important test: how do they hold up when being used for their actual purposes? The washcloth was just fine in the shower. It cleaned me like it was supposed to & suds-upped easily, without any lint getting all over. The towel dried me just as well as our old ones, & no lint ended up all over the floor or shower. All in all, I have no reason to be upset with my purchases. I know they're pricey, but I feel they were worth it. I was actually thinking of—so long as I liked the towels—ordering another set or two. Due to how large they are, however, I don't think they'd even fit where I'd need them to (this is not a complaint)! Same for the washcloths. I ordered 5 packs, which would give me 20, but I then looked & found another color or two that I'd like to have, but due to how fluffy they are, I don't know that they'd all fit in the bin I intend to get from Target to place them all in. I won't say that if you're skeptical to just buy them & that you won't be regretful. You could end up like the others that have dealt with the horrible lint problem. But, remember if you take a chance on them, that Amazon has a good return policy (imo). So you can always send them back & get a refund. I'm just glad I won't have to go through that hassle & that they've worked out how I hoped they would! When I need new towels/washcloths in the future, so long as this listing is still up, it's the first place I'll look to buy from.

Senior citizen wanted extra wash clothes in her bathroom and these are a great solution. Soft and sturdy. Nice thickness, she hasn’t complained about the drying time at all, and is happy with how they feel when she washes her face.

One star. These towels never ever stop shedding. I have washed and dried them over a half dozen times, and they just never stop. The fuzz is lingering in my washing machine, overwhelming my washing machine, and is covering all of my clothes. Photo of my dryer lint trap attached, this is the 4th cycle in a row and they never shed any less. I threw them all away after seeing my lint trap filled for literally the 12th or so time. I specifically bought these towels because they were cotton and would not generate toxic synthetic lint, but instead they're just generating infinite cotton lint. Useless.

I bought 4 sets of these towels. The color is beautiful and the towels are nice and soft. However, after only two washing cycles, I two of the hems have ravel out of two towels. Dissapointed.

I’ve been looking for new soft absorbent bath towels for a while. The company towel description swayed me to purchase these Turkish towels: “You Won't Want to Leave These Soft, Absorbent and Fluffy Large Bath Towels” The towels are absorbent. The towels are not fluffy, I did wash & dry following the instructions before using. My lint trap was full after drying. The towels are not scratchy, but I would not call the towels soft. See my video: The color is pretty, but I expected the towels to be softer and thicker. I’m curious to see how these hold up over time.

I like these towels BUT one of the two I bought has come unstitched on the edge. I have had these for a couple months and that happened on the second wash. I could run it under the sewing machine to fix but I haven't yet. It will take longer to thread the machine than it will to fix the towel. It's really a minor fix. They are very soft, very absorbant. They do shed in the dryer terribly the first several washes. They are significantly better now. They come out of the dryer completely dry, the size of them doesn't really affect drying time. Mine are jumbo sized and they fit nicely on the towel bar. The color is very pleasant. I would buy these again.

This is the second time that I have purchased these washcloths I intentionally went back through my past orders to be able to get the same washcloth so that I could match with the towels that I had first thing the color was not the same the specific shade of purple was not the same. The second thing is I bought them in March. It’s now June and the threads have been unraveling and coming out of the washcloth for about a month now, so do not recommend to buy these washcloths.

Was very happy with the initial purchase because, at the time, the value was reasonable, the towel was soft and seemed well-made... It lasted up until I washed the towels and the colors ran on all towels, that's after a SINGLE WARM WASH! Can't imagine what would have happened if I used bleach and/or hot water. I mean, it almost ruined my entire load of laundry in just one cycle! Also noticed that, even with my relatively gentle, infrequent use, loose threads are coming out thick and fast. Kind of disappointed with how it turned out to be, next time I won't be as cheap and will invest more money into my bath towels, also purchase it in white to make sure it doesn't paint the rest of my laundry. They're now covered in those yellowish streaks, which does not take away from its usability but still, looks bad...

Me encantó

Prodotto conforme all’ordine tuttavia non asciuga la pelle bene forse ci vogliono più lavaggi….

NOS ENCANTARON! Son tan suaves, calidad de primera, temía que no cubrieran mis expectativas y la verdad la superaron, volvería hacer de nuevo la compra, llegaron justo en la fecha comentada! Si buscan un secador de manos que sea suave, absorbente y de buena calidad se las recomiendo mucho.

Finalmente ho avuto il piacere di ritrovare gli ‘asciugamani di una volta’: ottimi, assorbenti, soffici ecc. È il secondo set che prendo. Si lavano perfettamente. Se fossero disponibili in altri colori, li prenderei subito.
