How Often Do You Wash Your Towels?

SR77 · 08-29-06, 05:59

How often do you guys wash you drying towels, MF, WW or Terry's? Do you wash them every time you wash your vehicle, or do you use them a few times, hanging them to dry after each use? How many washes or uses do you go before throwing them in the washer? I guess the same question could apply to MF polishing/waxing cloths. Do you use these a few times to remove polish or wax then wash them or do you was them after each use. I have been washing after each use, but I find myself always washing towels, so i am wondering if you guys get more then 1 use out of them without any issues. thanks for the help.

The towels i use to dry my vehicles I usually get two uses out of them. My working MFs that I use to do the heavy polishing I re-use a few times. Also, the MF i use to final polish and wax, I keep seperate and use them several times also. So I guess overall I use them a few times before washing but I do keep them seperate and use final wipes with the same MF.

I too wash mine after every use, with the exception of my WWs for glass. I clean those when there are no more clean areas on them... or after they get dropped

I wash mine after every car wash as well.

Washed everytime after use with the exception of my grunge work towels. I wait for a big pile of the "dirty" towels before I wash them.

after every use. Non-pro though. Would definitely reuse if not doing so meant having to buy an additional 20 towels at $3 a piece.

I wash'em after every use. I put them in a special mini-hamper for my towels that everyone knows not to touch but after my last wash someone must've sent it to Mars or something b/c I can't find it...I'm sadly short by a dozen or so towels.

I wash the towels in Woolite after every use.
