To return a bath towel to asda?

[ErikNorseman]

Ok I bought myself a lovely new bath towel. It's green and fluffy and huge. It cost about £7, not a lot, but still. I washed it before using but when I used it I got covered in little green bits. Somewhat annoyed, I washed it and it happened again. It keeps happening in fact. To be fair, green fluff volume has decreased significantly but i feel after at least ten washes it shouldn't still be shedding fluff. I don't have the receipt but I do have a useless towel that makes me feel resentful. Do I take it to asda and request a refund? Or would that make me a bit mad?

Have you tumbled dried it, that usually gets rid of all loose fluff.

I don't have a tumble drier!

I would say find someone who has, or pop into your nearest launderette then. You can bung it in a dryer there for ten minutes and that should sort it out.

Most towels are like this. I have just emptied the filter on my tumble dryer and it was purple as I have just laundered my new purple towels.

I bought a couple of those towels from asda last year and had the same trouble.
I did tumble dry them and to be honest it didn't help much. The fluff coming off does get a lot less eventually, after many months of use and washing. But I'd never buy them again.

Towels are definately one of those things that you get what you pay for quality wise.

Along with bedding, carpets and mattresses.

Squeaky - really? I don't think buying a towel should necessitate a trip to a laundrette!

Well if you dont have a tumble dryer it could..

That's the problem with fluffy towels. They should be hard and scratchy. I can't stand fluffy towels!

Sorry, not helpful.

Well I think I will return it and buy myself a nice expensive one :) actually the asda smart price towel is probably better, being less fluffy!

Agree you need a tumble dryer.

Oh god, never EVER buy a bright pink one thanks MIL it took me months to clean the fluff off the bathroom walls, out of the corners, behind the taps...

But I don't want a tumble dryer! I didn't realise it was a requirement for the purchasing of new towels I usually acquire towels by nicking them off my mum or guests who forget them at my house

Wow, the unknown hazards of towel buying! I've never paid a lot for towels but never had this problem. I used to buy them from Harveys (now shut down sadly) but now use BHS towels and no fluff sheds, ever.

I don't have a tumble dryer either

I bought a Barbara Cartland Pink towel for DD (not my choice- hers ) . No problem with shedding fluff (thankfully)

DH likes his towels like crispbread, so have to do a combination of drying outside or on radiators .

Is Barbara Cartland still promoting towels from the Other Side/ I prefer soft fluffy ones.
