Hi Glenda, Thank you for your feedback. The Sahara towels may require a few washes to get rid of the lint. We also recommend tumble drying them on low/medium settings. The softer the towel the more likely that you'll have a problem with lint, but as you keep using the towels this problem goes away quickly. Feel free to get in touch anytime if you have a question or problem with your towels. Thank you again and I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
