To tumble dry or not?

[imported_Faceman]

Hi,



I just got a Meguairs Ultimate Drying Towel for my birthday, and the instructions says to wash in hot water and tumble dry?



I thought we didn`t tumble dry microfibre products cos they melt? Is that not the case with waffle-weaves?



My washer/dryer doesn`t have a cool tumble only hot tumble.



Has anyone ever tumble dried their UDT?



Any advice appreciated,



Ta,

Regardless of instructions, I always hang mine up to dry by themselves.

Let it hang dry

I always put my MF in the dryer and they come out nice and soft and fluffy. They dont feel soft when I hang dry. I put the dryer on low. If you dont have a low setting you should probably hang dry them because a dryer that is too hot will damage the MF.

Cheers all. think i will let it hang dry.

Tumble drying won`t hurt anything, but I find it loads the towels with static. Thus, I air dry.

I leave the towels in the dryer for about 10 minutes ( at this point they`re damp) and then I hang them on a clothes horse until completely dry.

I tumble dry on medium; never a problem . . .

If I tumble dry, it is on the low setting but static is always a problem so most of the time I air dry.



BTW, Happy Birthday :xyxthumbs

Tumble on air or low heat, I`ve had no trouble except I have to peel them apart sometimes.
