City Block 2-piece Rug Set

I bought these rugs because I was looking for replacements for my two solid-cotton rugs that had worn out after 10 years and countless washings. I needed rugs with no latex backings that were sufficiently heavy enough that they did not slide around on the tiled bathroom floor. These rugs have a good backing and are heavy enough that they do, indeed, stay in place and do not slide. However, the quality of the cotton is the poorest I have ever had. I expected a lot of lint in my dryer the first couple of times I washed them. However, I have washed them 3 times over a period of more than a month and they are still shedding huge quantities of cotton fibers and lint. (My old set of rugs also shed when they were new, but the lint was of a fine quality and was able to be easily removed from the large dryer lint screen). The cotton quality is so poor that I can't get the smallest of the lint fibers off my large dryer screen, even though I rinsed it by inverting the screen and spraying it throughly with the high-pressure hose on my sink. After the screen dried, I tried to get the particles of lint off with heavy duty packaging tape and that did not work, either. The appearance of "window pane" isn't as nice as the rugs I had, but it doesn't bother me to walk on them at all, even though the nap varies in height. Overall, I feel I wasted money on these and will sell them at our next yard sale..
