@#$& MicroFiber Lint

None of my Cobra towels lint and I have a whole lot of them. Wash them all with Pinnacle MFR and dry for 30-40 on low heat, store in a plastic dresser.

:iagree:

My Cobra's were fine until I ran out of Pinnacle MFR. I tried using Woolite and all of my towels began to lint like crazy. Got a gallon of PMFR, re-washed all my towels, no more linting. The purple Cobra Jr's are my favorites.

I've been meaning to try this. Its really that good? The MFR I'm talking about.
 
It's merely my own observation here but but I was getting aggravated with when my towels started linting when I switched to Woolite. They didn't lint at all when I was using Pinnacle MFR, same towels started linting with Woolite, switched back Pinnacle and no linting whatsoever.
I'm sticking with Pinnacle MFR.
Life's too short to deal with towels that lint!:righton:
 
If the towel becomes too dirty, it will begin to “streak”, it is then time to wash the towel. Pre-soak in a liquid detergent / water and then squeeze out wax/polish with your hands and rinse thoroughly. If the towel still tends to ‘streak’ boil the towels for at least 20 minute. It will actually release more wax / polish residue even after the towel has been washed. This will also release any lint, which will actually come to the surface of the water. Empty out the water and then remove the towel, don’t do it the other way or you'll re-introduce the lint to the towel again.

That is a very interesting observation since I was all of my MFs with Woolite. I have only ever used this, and still my only MFs that are linting are the Cobra Jrs. Just recently, howerver, my other Cobras have started linting, too.

My non-Cobra branded MFs, hower, are not linting even though I'm washing them with Woolite.

Very odd.

I just used mine again last night and they left lint everywhere(purple JR.s), I'll just use them on door jams, wheels, etc.....Oh well...

What are you using to wash your MFs? Woolite? And how are your other MFs reacting to it?

Let's get to the bottom of this!
 
I've always washed all my microfibers with Micro Restore and only my purple cobras lint up to this point. Seems to be random but not uncommon so who knows :confused: .
 
Started using Pinnacle Restore, that sucked so I switched to ## wash.
 
I dont feel it cleaned my MF at all.
 
I have at least 100 MFs and the only ones that lint are the cheap-o ones I bought at a local wholesale club. From Cobra I have Guzzlers, glass WW towels, Jr's, and the green multi-purpose towels. None of them lint and I use MF detergent (have used Sonus, Pinnacle, and Micro-Restore). Personally I like the Micro-Restore the best.

My only complaint is that my Guzzlers don't absorb water anymore. I'm not really sure what happened and I'm thinking of boiling them. They're probably less than 2 years old.

My guzzlers quit absorbing for me as well! Not sure what has happened, maybe I'll boil them and see if that does the trick. I used one to qd today and it just smeared the qd around
:confused:

I'm using micro restore, sometimes putting a little degreaser in the washing machine. Mostly MR though.

Yeah that's what happens with mine. I PM'ed Dwayne about it and he couldn't really explain it except to say that my towels perfomed as if they had gotten silicone on them. I'm pretty sure they don't have any silicone on them though. However, he did send me a Guzzler replacement with my next order. Im the MAN

Let me tell you though the difference between the new towel and the old towel is HUGE.
