Different people have different experiences. I never wash mine before use and have never had a lint issue. A better suggestion would be to TEST before use.

With crappier towels, I experience various levels of lint. Some need a first wash then don't lint and some leave lint regardless. With the Eagle towels, I have never seen them lint when using them on my paint. I found they will lint if used to wipe certain pieces of trim (rubber mainly), but this is damaging to the towel so I don't do it.

Yeah. Just my personal experience. I first noticed it when I was using it to wipe wax off my car and it was leaving little bits of fluff around. They don't do it after a wash so I just make a habit of giving new MF towels a rinse and dry before I put them to work.
