    Are lint free towels just a myth ??

    I use Eagles, that`s as close as I`ve come to lint free.
    Will be trying others, starting with :
    Crazy Pile
    Esoteric

    would welcome any suggestions. Thanks

    In my experience if you want a "lint free" you need to be going to an ultra-low/no-nap towel. Big puffy towels will almost always have some linting at some point in time. Nature of the beast.

    The only lint free towels I`ve seen are flour sack towels and MF glass cleaning towels.

    One thing about those eagles is that they do lint as they age. Forget about using them on glass. They lint regardless for that. Well at least for me. Other than that it is a good towel for rinseless washes.

    As the fibers break down linting would seem to be inevitable. Which PBs towel doesn`t lint and why? I`m not saying there is a ton of lint, but it seems like when you drag a towel across a rough, dry surface it pulls some of the fibers out, e.g. linting. I agree, the lower the nap the less linting you will have.

    Eventually, all of my plush MFs start to lint. Might do it when new, might take a looong time, but sooner or later they all do as they wear and start to shed fibers.

    Some of my no-nap Glass MFs (always laundered seprarately) and all of my WWMFs do it too. If not when new, then eventually. The lint from those is *VERY* fine and I can imagine people not noticing it, but I see it and I won`t have it on my vehicles (those towels get demoted to household duty or really nasty jobs after which they get tossed).

    Will be trying these CRAZY PILE`s.
    They seem to stack up to Eagles.
