Oops. The cleaning lady washed my collection of dirty microfiber towels with her cotten cleaning rags. I caught the error before the microfibers had gone in the dryer -- so I dried the microfiber towels separately, cleaning the lint trap several times in the process.



1. Is that good enough?



2. Should I rewash and redry the MF towels as well?



3. Or is it toss and buy new time?

How much cotton fibre is clinging to the MF towels? That`s the question.



(I think most of it will be liberated with successive washes. I wouldn`t get too tensed up over it.)

After a couple dry cycles, none is visible. And the dryer lint trap had less and less each dry cycle.

I`ve heard that vinegar can bring them back to original feel after they`ve been dried out and almost beat to death. Might want to give that a shot.

^Boiling them helps also.
