New towel woes! I bought new black towels and a cheap black bath mat a little over a month ago and everything in my bathroom is covered in black fuzz. When I take a shower and use the towels I look like Chewbacca! I've washed the towels and the bath mat upwards of 15 times. Am I doing something wrong? Or is it the towels? Please help.

I agree with one of the archived posts, you need to use the dryer to pull off the loose lint. They are not poor quality they are good quality if they are making so much fluff.
There is also an issue with their being black as you are probably noticing the lint more than you might with other colours.
The lint will go away if you can stand the wait.

I recently bought some rather expensive dark towels. Even after washing them twice, and not using fabric softener, they leave their lint on my body. Is there anything I can do to stop this?
I bought 3 towels from Target almost 3 weeks ago or so. I have washed them several times since I've bought them.
