100% Polyester New Robe Leaves Fluffies, Fabric - What to do?

I bought a gorgeous and soft light pink robe and was so excited about it, but when I tried it on (after buying), it left a bunch of fluffies all over. Someone suggested washing and drying it alone and then seeing what happens, so that is what I am currently doing. Will this help? I just took it out of the washer and when I ran my hand through it it left "fluffies" on my hand. And does anyone else have any other suggestions? Or am I basically left with a robe that sheds?

    Don't worry, I'd give a week or two. I think the shedding will settle down by then, or............. you'll have been slowly driven insane by fluffies!

    No, seriously - my flatmate had a pair of slippers that looked like they were made of thousands of little fuzzy pink dreadlocks. Cute, but within half an hour the whole house was sprouting pink dreads. After vacuuming a couple of times I don't remember ever really noticing them after that.

    You'll need to wash and machine dry it a few more times until the shedding finally stops.

    After a few washes that should stop!
