Microfiber Care ?

[Bigredmariner]

Well I just got finished folding up a load of mine that I washed last week. Those bastards stuck to my rough hands like crazy so I guess I didn't screw them up drying them. I did use low heat though.

It's weird how they stick to your hands. About freaked me out when I first got mine.

Same here, my hands are pretty rough especially this time of year. I had to pull a couple of them off of one hand only to have them stick again.

Yeah that always gets me, too.


Their "stickiness", for lack of better term, is the biggest reason I don't use a dryer. Our dryer is set up terribly and makes it way too easy for them to grab lint as they go by the filter. First time I pulled them out of our dryer they were covered in blue lint. That was not a fun day...picking lint out of microfibers. The little bastards wouldn't let go.

Basically what everyone said already. I also learned a trick from RockPick on f150online's detailing section, and Detailers Cafe.com, that adding one tea spoon of vinegar per MF towel you have in the wash during the fill up cycle helps keep a longer life in the MFs. And I also clean mine with a MicroFiber detergent.

I throw mine in the dryer for 30mins, never comes out lint covered, guess thats my luck
