Is it painted on ?

Me too! Seems to get a little less after every wash, I hope eventually they will stop shedding

Where's Killerwheels now?

My order of 6 should arrive today

Wonder if it's the drying process removing lint more so than the wash.
After all, dryers have a lint trap.
Yea, it's black also.

Most MF towels leave some lint the first use of two. You must remember to wash these towels seperate from all other laundry. You should store them outside of dust and dirt. Believe it or not, I find that dryer ***** (those blue ones at BedBathBeyond) seem to help too as they handle the static MF towels seem to naturally have which seems to have something to do with them trapping and releasing lint.

Wow, I have 10 of these. Washed all in cold water with Liquid Tide (HE) and into the Dryer on Low heat. Absolutely no lint in dryer trap at all, and no lint left on any of my cars. Maybe I just got lucky, but I'm very happy with these Shamrock MF Towels.

I am not getting any lint with my Shamrocks. I wash them in micro restore (dedicated mf wash). I use the dryer ***** in the dryer (short cycle) and then air dry them the rest of the way.
