Microfibers

So I got these new plush cotton bath towels and they're linting crazy. Then the little bits get stuck to my face and I don't even realize it until I'm in the car on the way to work and feel them slightly flapping in the wind. So I was thinking, there are microfiber towels out there. Does anyone use them and how do they feel compared to the traditional towels.

Cool Re: Microfibers

I have one mf towel for “people detailing” but it’s “camp towel” I picked up at REI and has more of a suede weave than plush weave. Definitely doesn’t lint.

I’ve been wanting to try a big mf bath towel too but I’ve been too cheap to buy one. I would presume they feel the same as our detailing towels, just bigger.

How do they feel????

HMMMMM...

Kind of micro-fiberey

I use micr-cotton bath towels and will not use anything else, much more absorbant than traditional terry towels, but do not use fabric softener on them

Re: Microfibers

Usually the linting stops after I wash/dry new towels enough.
