Microfiber towels can withstand hundreds of washes. Just rewash them with vinegar and dry them on low heat, you should be fine.

Now that you mention it Micro Fiber towels with either Kosher or Halal ratings are much better. The blessings they receive make them clean better
That's an awfully big leap from wiping down the dryer drum to buying out a hotel in a crowded metropolitan area!
You know- just throwing that out there but; go tell some guy with a swirled up mess on his car that you spend hours polishing, have hundreds of dollars in detailing supplies and have 'regimens' regarding sealing, waxing, coating, etc. See what he says! "You're nuts, I just take it to the automatic car wash once every couple of months!"
It's all relative.
My grandpa is an avid deer hunter and does a VERY thorough alcohol cleaning of his washer and dryer before washing all of the clothes, camo, underwear, etc. that he'll be taking with him on the weekend in a non-scent detergent. The wipedown is to ensure that no perfumes or scents from previous detergent end up on the clothing!
It's not a big leap. Howard Hughes started by writing a multi-page memo on a flaw in one of Jane Russell's blouses to watching movies 24/7 in the nude while subsisting on chocolate, chicken and milk (and relieving himself into the empty containers), moving into the Beverly Hills Hotel to the tune of $11 million per year in the late 1940s, to watching Ice Station Zebra 150 times, to picking up objects using tissues, to moving in to the Desert Inn in Vegas in 1967 and refusing to move out and buying the hotel, to hiring only Mormons as assistants to.... He was 6'1" and 90 lbs when he died.
I'm 6'3" and don't want to weigh 90 lbs when I die so I wash and dry my microfibers with my clothes. In laundry detergent. With or without fabric softeners.
It's not all relative. If a doctor can testify in court that you have debilitating OCD and his testimony could have you committed, it's objective.
I defy anyone to look at my car and tell me what brand of microfiber towel I use or how I wash. them. There's clean, swirl free and high gloss and then there's nuts. Some of the guys on this forum make Howard "get me 200 gallons of discontinued Baskin Robbins Butter Nut Ice Cream" Hughes look normal.
By they way, you forgot to mention after your uncle carefully removes all perfume and scents from his deer hunter clothing, he douses them with deer piss. I'd boil my washer and dryer after a load of deer piss and blood soaked hunting clothes.

Get one of your giant waffle weave drying towels and wrap it up and smack the wifey in the arse with it! She'll never wash them/dry them again! LOL
Just kidding, as others have said, you will be fine.
Romans: I do that as well with my good shirts...the sizzle is hard on them!

So do the Mormons make good detailing supplies ?
When it comes to washing microfibers the only things that seem to matter are low heat in the dryer, no fabric softener, and to wash them with only other microfibers. It will take at least a few cycles through the wash not using correct washing procedures to even show any kind of damage normally. So microfibers will hold up to some neglect or abuse but they will last seemingly forever if you treat them right.

i just wash my mf's in the machine with tide soap without the softeners in it and then put it on low to no heat in the dryer! then wallaaaa they came come out pretty clean. except the one i use on the rims. that is clean but just stained with dirt i guess so it gets hand washed first then thrown in with the rest
It is, ain't it?

Oh man. Just when I thought that I had everything figured out I learn that not only do I have to check the national origin of my micro fibers (we all know that they have to come from Korea) and the place where they are sold (can't be from Cosco), now I need to determine the religion of the manufacturer? Does anyone know if Howard Hughes' car had swirls and RIDS? Maybe Dawn will/ will not strip your lsp because Proctor and Gamble is owned by people who worship by............ Oh never mind, I think I will just go have some chocolate, chicken, and milk for breakfast

I'll suggest:
-Do not call the police, as they are either:
Evil and will turn you in; or will not believe you (and then will laugh at you.)
-Get the larger section of bone during Turkeyday's wishbone-breaking tradition.
If you do: Make the wish silent, unspoken...

Bob, you're a riot. That particular wish actually worked for me long ago but she still got the bigger half, if you know what I mean.

The dryer sheets can ruin them.
I once read that boiling them for 10 minutes fixes them, not sure why but it may be worth a try, wouldn't hurt.

I'm still slowly building my MF collection. I've got a number of different ones, but picked up a 12-pack of the Mango MF towels about a month ago. I separate all of my MF towels into a separate bag at our laundry basket. My wife found 2 of the Mangos mixed in with the clothes; still not sure how that happened. Anyhow, I donated them to her by telling her to keep them with the house cleaning supplies

Freakn hilarious!
They won't ruin them. Eventually they will become kind of water proof with extended use of dryer sheets. The Waffle Weave's will take the biggest hit when washed improperly that I've noticed. I got a 36 pack of Zwipes from Amazon that I use around the house, and those are the only ones I wash with other items...at this point they have a waterproof layer on them and tons of strings and debris in them from all the other items being washed with them ie. Clothes, bath towels that shed, etc.
Boiling will bring them back to life, you are correct. Add a cap full of vinegar, and your MF's will be back to new in no time. 1 or 2 minutes in a rolling boil.
OP. Re-Wash and keep separate from other items in the future for optimal performance of your towels. I color code the use of each, and wash them separately. Whichever route you take, good luck....and Happy Thanksgiving:xyxthumbs:
