Do I wash MF`s before using for the 1st time?

[Carl333]

Ok, I have just purchased a bunch of MF towels. Should I wash before using for the 1st time? If so, what is a good technique washing and drying and products to use?

I have also read that MF`s towels used for waxing, polishing and drying should be washed separately. I have bought a couple dozen same color. Can I permanent make these towels with a Sharpie to show its specific use and wash separately or am I paranoid?

Do you wash a new t-shirt before wearing it?

personally no, but my wife washes all her new clothes purchases before wearing for the 1st time.

It is a best practice to wash all MF towels with a dedicated MF cleaner before use. You don`t know who touched your towels and what was on their hands, what could have dropped on them (dust, dirt, lint).

I`m like you. I will wear a t-shirt right off the shelf. I do the same with my microfibers and have NEVER had a problem. Other ppl can;t do this

There is no right answer

Yes, wash them first.

It`s good practice to wash new microfiber`s first, only because you don`t know what could be in them from the manufacturing process, to storage, to packing, to shipping..

It`s not necessary, but why risk it?
