How do you know when your MF is worn out?

[2wheelsx2]

I have a bunch of Neatitems MF's and have been using them for about a month. I wash them by hand with dishsoap after each use and hang to dry. They are still very "grabby". So are they worn out after this property is no longer there? Or when people say their MF wears out, that they wear out like terry cloths? With the way they are now, I can see them lasting a couple of years at least.

When you wash the towel and it dries and you start seeing that the towel has lost its "fluffyness" then it is time to replace it. When it gets matted and the fibers are stuck together, the towel will stop working as well. You will get much more than a months worth of use out of an MF towel though. I've been using some of mine since last September and they are still fine. I just make sure I clean them frequently. I wash all my towels and rags every 2 weeks whether they need it or not. It keeps em clean and ready for the suprise messy jobs I end up getting dropped on me at the last minute sometimes.
