No, but I always remove the tags prior to the first use.

Yes, it`s a good idea anyways because you don`t know where they were before you purchased them or how long they sat accumulating dust.. I personally wrap them in any type of plastic or baggie to keep things from sticking to them like packing peanuts. Some times a few get away from me lol.
Try a small amount of vinegar in the rinse cycle.
Quality Doesn`t Cost, It Pay`s
as detaildoc mentioned... it`s always a good idea to wash them first because they could have been contaminated within transit (or at the factory) and washing them will also get rid of any excess shedding/lint (remember: towels are packaged and thrown together so if one fell on the ground and you throw it on top of another, there`s the risk, etc) as well...

I wash, linting can be really bad prior to washing
Guess I`m out-numbered. Yeah, after more consideration/post reading... I`ve re-considered. :2thumbs:
I do my fiance got me in the habit of washing everything before using or wearing lol
Yes.
For example, I picked up a 2 bar kit of Mother`s clay w/ lube and a MF today. When I opened the MF, (it was packaged in plastic) took it out and shook it, lint came flying out. Granted, it`s a cheap MF, but still.
I always wash new MF before first use.

YES, wash them before you use them. I wash mine in cold water with like a teaspoon of detergent; just enough to clear out any dirt, dust, extra fibers, etc... that may be trapped.

Definitely wash them too many chances for crap to be collected by the towel before you buy it and use it

Just got an order in today with a good sum o MF. Washed them and a two of them came slightly unraveled. Called the Geek now i got a six pack and a quart of MF cleaner on the way for free. You just never know what is on them like some of the other members mentioned. If MFs are great at grabing dust off the car they will most certainly be good a holding dust that falls on them.
