How Often Do You Wash Your Great White Drying Towel

[matty]

I apologize if this has been covered before but I spent some time reading through the forums and I haven't seen it.  

 

I'm just curious how often everyone washes their drying towels?  I use the Great White Drying Towel to dry my truck after a wash (which is a great towel by the way) and I have just been spraying it down with the hose real good and wringing it out after I'm done then letting it air dry.  Should I be washing it after every truck wash?  

 

Thanks in advance.

After I use every towel I have it goes into a laundry bag. When that bag gets full I wash them. It might take a month, it might take 2 weeks, but I wait until that bag is full (OR if I'm out of towels, lol)

The drying towel should stay clean after your dry the car because you just washed it... Having said that you might miss a spot or 2 that you pick up with the drying towel. Long story short, I only wash it when there is a few black/dirt spots on it

After every wash. No water is pure and paint never stays clean.

 

The minute you rinse your car there is dust on it again. The minute you wipe it off more dust. All of that adds up and gets collected into the towel. Not to mention whatever is in your water. Water spots come from impurity in the water and that all gets gunked up into the towel too.

 

Also if you use a drying agent like diluted Rinseless, Waterless Wash or Detail Spray that all gets into the towel as well. I know when I use Rinseless to help dry I don't see it on the towel but if the towel dries before I wash it, it has blue spots on it.

 

Every wash. Microfiber holds everything (because its designed to).

Thanks a lot for the quick replies guys.  @Kingsford my thought process is the same is yours which is why I was wondering if I should wash it after every truck wash.  

 

Thanks again.

I wash every towel after every use. No using them twice. You are hear because you want the best products, and safest shine...right? Wash that towel after ...every...use...to be the safe.

I also wash mine after every use,

Jason's post is right on the money. Dirt, dust, minerals and small particles are all in constant contact with the car and in the water.

 

I had this same question in the past after I washed my car to essentially knock off a layer of dust. It was one of those washes that only us OCD folks would understand. Car still looked great and really had little to no build up on it. The towel looked bleach white after I was done. Long story short, after all the feedback from the Forum, I have decided to wash mine after every use, no matter what. I think that's the best way to go.

Never. It stays clean in the closet since I've bought the master blaster.

 

Although before this purchase I washed after every use.

After every wash.

 

I have clean towels in totes and a laundry bag for stuff that will go into the wash.  Part of the problem for me is I dont have a third spot to keep stuff I 'might' be able to use again.  I will never put anything back in the clean storage as I dont want to chance contaminating anything not to mention I would not want to do it with a damp or wet towel.  So anything even marginal goes to laundry bag.

I do about every other wash.  If I had 2-3 more drying towels I'd use clean every wash.

I throw it in the Adams laundry bag .. I have multiple towels to cover me. But I never reuse a towel that has been used before .. You're asking for swirls etc.

I am a bit obsessive-compulsive about using towels neatly folded...switching from dirty side to a clean side as needed.  If enough clean sides remain I will use the clean sides at a later date.
