Ok, long story short, like an idiot I decided to wash my uncontaminated micro`s with the alcohol micro and the alcohol smell and I guess solvent spread to my other towels. Horrible idea.


`


How do I get rid of the smell/solution from my good micro`s?

I would try a rinse with Distilled White Vinegar & see if that helps.

Some synthetic textiles just soak up/retain some odors (e.g. perspiration and synthetic blend clothing).` See if it dissipates after more washings and yeah...try the vinegar.


`


You`re washing with a "Microfiber Detergent", right?


`


Other than that I`d try to live with it (easy for me to say I suppose, but this could be worse IMO...what if it were some really *nasty* solvent-smell?).

Yeah I used Chem guys detergent. I let them air dry over night and the smell is gone so it looks like I`m good to go. Washed them twice just to be safe haha.

Sev- Good, glad to hear that.` Do your MFs dry out nice and soft when you air-dry them?` Mine always turn out better if I put `em in the dryer.
