How often do you wash your drying towels?

[kkreit01]

I`ve used the Absorber for years. I`m thinking of trying MF or WW for drying, but I was wondering how often you wash them? After every use? When they are visibly dirty? With the Absorber, I simply rinse and put back in the tube damp. How do you care for your drying towels?



I have many MF I use for other chores, but I have never tried them for drying.

After every use.. no exceptions



ANY little particle of contaminant trapped in the MF/WW can cause paint damage

Uh-oh, I should probably do that.. I generally wash after 3-4 uses.. and I do ONR washes. I guess I should start washing every time.

Ya I wash after use too but I just wait until I get enough to do a load.

why do a wash every week (waste water), when you can buy a few more drying towels and wait till you have enough to do a small load? i wait till i have enough to do a small wash load, so i use 2-3 drying towels (1 a week) and also throw in the mf`s to the wash that get used as well...

I am fairly new, but based off reading here and feedback to some of my questions, I decided to invent a little extra and get about a few sets of the towels I use so I always have a clean one, but won`t have to do all these tiny washes for just a few towels.



I have a dedicated plastic tub with a lid that seals, so that I collect all my dirty towels to keep them away from getting contaminated and when it fills up I just wash them all.

By no means was I implying I wash immediately after each use, I also wait until i have enough for a good sized load!:2thumbs:

Can you ever have enough drying towels? :)



Like others, I use mine once and then wait to have a small enough load to do a wash. I had a plastic trash bin that was no longer in use (the kind where you step on it and it opens) so I use that as my hamper now. So far I`ve only had a problem with mold once because I let it go for about 3 weeks but it all washed off.

I have been washing mine after each use, though, I do not use laundry detergent every time. I only use it every other time or so because it tends to build up in the towel overtime.

Mine get washed after every use. I always have a bin labeled "Dirty Microfibers" lying around.



However, I use my Wheel Schmitt more than once. It seems to "rinse" clean better than my drying towels.

i wash all MFs and mitts after every wash. can`t be too careful with black paint.

I wash all of my towels after any use they see.

I use the Megs Water Magnets and I have Three that I use to dry the whole car once a week and after every use they are washed in cold water with liquid Tide for Cold Water.
