To be honest, I'm not sure if it's the washing with them, or if you put them in the dryer with the clothes - let us know what you find out.

I will. First I need to find one of those microfiber cloths.

I've also had this problem, tried different suggestions as how to rid the lint and had no luck with them. The only thing that has worked for me (outside using the dryer) is this: ( a pain but I am doing exactly this on my dark colored laundry)

When the machine goes into the final rinse, I leave the lid of the machine up so it will not go into the drain and spin cycle. When I notice the machine has stopped the rinse cycle, I take the clothing from the washer piece by piece and sort of wring the water out by hand; lay them over into my laundry basket. Then I close the lid of the machine and let it drain . When machine is empty of water I put the clothing back into the machine so it can spin
the rest of the water from them.

A pain I know but that is the ONLY way I have been able to rid my black and dark clothing of lint.

My theory is that the lint gets onto the clothing when the rinse water is draining from the machine.

I will have to time my washer to find out how long it takes to get to the rinse cycle. Then I will try this, if it gives me lint free clothes its worth it!
