I purchased a stack of Single Soft MF towels about two months ago. I washed them before the first use and didn't notice any linting problems.
They have been washed about once a week, so probably 7-8 times by now. Now I am getting all sorts of tiny lint trails when I wipe down with them. It's minimal linting wiping off wax but the detail spray for some reason is just sucking the fibers right off.
I wash in a front loader with a small amount of HE clear detergent and a few capfulls of simple green cleaner in the pre-wash dispenser. I generally wash WARM but will go to HOT if I used them to remove wax so that it will dissolve better. I dry them on ultra-low setting.
I don't know if my washing routine has done something to cause this or what. I was concerned about using HOT water but after reading recommendations to BOIL the towels one in awhile I figured HOT couldn't cause any damage.
Will boiling them possibly solve this? Don't know what to do at this point.
