Cleaning Microfiber Towels
« on: January 17, 2012, 01:34:58 PM »
For those of you that clean Microfiber Towels, how do you clean them? I wash mine in warm water in the sink using Dawn Dish Washing soap as a detergent or Tide. It gets them clean, but they are never soft again, no matter how many times I rinse the soap out of them. They are sort of stiff after dried and never have the same soft feel when wiping the ball, so not sure how good they are doing the job or not. Since you can find them at Wal-Mart for something like 4 or 5 for $5, is it better to use them until dirty and then throw them away?

Milo, mine were blue.

 

Maybe I missed the orange ones or maybe they don't have them at the moment...

 

I'm sure the blue ones will be ok.

My local Home Depot used to stock a blue towel was was a bit thinner and smaller than the last couple of times I bought them. The newer ones are bright orange, thicker and 16 X 12.

 

Here is a pic of the label for the ones I bought.

Milo, I went to Home Depot  here in OKC today and bought a bag of Microfiber towels, but the ones here are 14 x 14 and 24 in a bag for $10. They are all thinner than my other towels purchased at Wal-Mart and Lowes, but if they will still do the job, then that is all that matters.

Okay, okay.  You two are sounding like a couple of old ladies discussing the White Sale at Macy's.  Go to any auto parts store and you can get microfiber towels cheap.  Wash as any other towel but NO fabric softener.  Tumble dry on low.  Good as new.

Come on Sunshine, the color is important! They have to match my shoes!

Funny you mention that.  I'm eating lunch at Hooters for the first time in a couple of years and a couple comes in.  Business attire.  White dude wearing a cream colored vest with a tan suit and ORANGE tie and shoes!  I was going to ask if he was some kind of district manager for Hooters or if the circus was in town but didn't have the chance.

I buy them at Dollar Tree.   2 towels for $1.00.
 
Gets you 20 towels for $10.00.  A little more money, but Dollar Tree is right down the street.

I find that the microfiber towels that I find at Menards, Walmart and Autozone can be washed and cleaned better then some of the ones I buy in the pro shop.
