I wish I had never bought this dark towel. I have washed it many times, tried tumble drying the towel and drying it outside, however, it is still leaving a huge amount of dark blue fluff in our bathroom - on every surface. A real pain. I have wasted money washing the towel more frequently than normal to try to get the fluff away and I also have to clean the bathroom more often. It must be made from very poor cotton - so much for the Egyptian label!
