I have a mercerized cotton golf shirt that, so far, I've washed twice,
and the thing is just a headache to deal with when it comes out of the
dryer. It has more static than a polyester item would. It looks like
it got washed with kleenex because it has little specks of lint all over
it. It clings to itself so much that it takes ten minutes to get it
folded (no lie).

This has happened despite my dryer having a decent moisture sensor (so
nothing gets "overdried") and despite my washing and drying the shirt
turned inside out.

I remember having a similar problem years ago with another mercerized
cotton shirt. After lots of washings, it's one of my best-looking and
most easily-maintained shirts.

Any suggestions for speeding the process up with the new shirt?

Wash in gentle cycle, cold water. Don't dry it in the dryer - just lay
it flat and let it air dry.
