DEPTFORD, NEW JERSEY -- I bought the RE brand bath towels from Target, figuring I would try them they were not cheap and thought they would last, since I am on a very strict budget, disabled, and do not work. I have washed them two times they leave horrible because on your body and all over my bathroom, it took me three hrs to clean my bathroom that normally takes me 45 minutes, the dark blue because was everywhere. So now I am out of the money and the towels, I also bought the bathroom rugs too, they are horrible, the bottom turned yellow, they are suppose to get wet, you step on them wet when you get out the shower I don't get it, Target's products are getting more expensive and made like crap.

I get it. It's cheap Chinese or other foreign manufacturing. Place the blame where it really lies, our government for allowing free trade deals and rewarding companies that ship jobs out of the USA instead of punishing them.

Actually the RE line is cheap. Cheaply made and cheap in price ($12 for a set of 3 towels. That's pretty darn cheap). I think that line was originally geared towards college students anyway, which is why they are such poor quality. College students aren't really concerned with quality, they just need something to get by.

I've got to agree with samathasmom. RE is a very inexpensive line of products.

"Because???" Is that Jersey talk for fuzz? Lint? Almost any towel you buy today will do that - no matter what you pay for it. Penney's towels I bought 25 years ago threw fuzz all over my house. You simply take a chance every time you buy towels. I have never found a correlation between price and whether or not the darn things will make your house look like a wad of cotton candy or not. Fabric softener and multiple rinses sometimes works. But not always. like your experience, I have had to toss out nearly brand new towels on more then one occasion.

Best to shop for towels when your stars are most auspicious - rather then look for bargains.
