That's why it is generally recommended to not use hot water or high heat when washing/drying MF towels.
For OP, I use Rags to Riches with a proportioner. I got the larger size since it is more exonomical and was the only size available at a reasonable price when I bought it. Cold or warm water to wash (depending on what I used the towels for). For drying, low heat and/or air dry.
I try the choose what type weaves I use for simplicity as I have neither the time nor patience to separate different weaves based on type and purpose for washing. As an example, I like waffle weaves for cleaning glass but they'll collect lint from other towels, so mixing them isn't a good idea. I find general purpose MF towels will carry lint less and still adequately clean glass so that's my 'window' go-to since I'll use general purpose towels for other things when cleaning a car. Thus it is more efficient to wash afterwards (vs 1-2 waffle towels).
That was more info than asked for.  |
That's for sure, as does for ovens. The best way that I have found to asses for snags, rough towels [or anything] is to brush them with the back of my hand or the volar surface of my wrist
