Mf Towels

How safe is it to dry mf towels in the dryer on the delicate cycle

Perfectly fine but only with other mf towels

I have not had a problem with mine doing it on delicate, if you have an air tumble dry, that also works well with smaller loads, I usually wash 25 at a time and need the little extra help of the lower heat.

As I'm typing this, I have a load in the dryer on low heat. Will dry in about 20 mins.

Good idea, Scott...I've noticed that mine are static charged everytime I pull them out of dryer.

+1 for dryer balls and low heat.

I spray a little static guard on them after I take them out.

Why would you do that? The static help attract dust particles to the towel, when wiping, and hold them in. With no static, your just spreading dust.

Read it on one of the forums. Said to spray them to help reduce the dust and pollen that are attracted to the cars surface like a magnet. I was under the impression that the fibers, not static, were responsible for the MF's cleaning ability....All that static just transfers to the painted surfaces making it even more of a dust pollen magnet. Have I been mis-lead??

For polish and wax removal the static will help. When all is done, you can use a QD to eliminate the static. Or if you wanted to designate a towel to spray with static guard. You could do a wipedown with that after you are done polishing and waxing.

my worry is with a product like Staticgard you will transfer it to paint as its now in the towel. I use the dryer balls to reduce (not remove) static and store in a clean environment for next use.

this is good info I am getting from you guy thanks again

I do not understand either, I thought static was good !

I just got some new Cobra Gold Plush Microfiber towels, they have a slight static charge to them I have noticed.

But on another slightly related note, I haven't washed these yet, I have some Pinnacle Micro Rejuvenator which I plan on using to wash them, but I was wondering if I should wash the towels before first use or are they fine to use straight away?

Thanks,
Matt.
