How do you wash a microfiber towel?
« on: September 30, 2007, 10:01:47 AM »
Just wondering if there is a certain way to wash a microfiber towel, or if you just throw it in the washer and dryer?

no fabric softener, no bleach, no conditioners or additives...

just laundry detergent!

Or you could just follow the washing instructions that come with most of them ...

Do you guys buy your bowling towels at pro shops? I personally just go to Wal-Mart's auto care section and get a pack of 3 for $4 and some odd cents. Works just as well for me. Anyone else do this?

Yup......I got 4 for $5 approx. 3 weeks ago. The only problem is they are an 80-20 blend. The ones they used to carry were a 70-30 blend which worked better than the 80-20 blend.


6 of one, half a dozen of the other.
Yes, the 70/30 seem to be better; the actual weave of the colth is more important than the actual blend.

they are $10 at your shop.  IF you can't afford a towel, you can't afford bowling every week


But why pay 10bucks for one when you can get 12 at Target for that amount. Use one a month and then go buy more....

If you're talking about how fine or, I guess, "coarse", the towel is, then yes. If the weave is too fine, it doesn't really pick up any oil.

BTW, what does happen to the towel when it's exposed to fabric softener? Does it fall apart or something?

The reason to use only liquid detergent is that undissolved powdered detergent can get into the fibers of the towel and scratch whatever you are using the towel on.  This mainly applies to using the towels for auto detailing.  I use mine for a lot of different things and it is easier just to be sure they will be safe for any surface.
