0 Team Adam's Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Right out of the box the towel will "lint," feel free to wash it and that should remove any loose fibers left behind during production. If it persists let us know and we'll replace the towel right away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Nickc0844 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Yeah, with these new ones, I noticed that too. However, after my first wash, I found it to not do it anymore. Remember, use hot water with NO fabric softener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 97F1504RAD Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Yep I always wash any MF towel i buy prior to using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Cyclone Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I find it very good for the towel's to wash them in hot water and put some vinegar in the bleach dispensor. And then I hang them to dry or use the delicate cyclone (if I am in a hurry for them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washing it does the trick, but PLEASE keep us posted, as it you have a defective towel, we want to replace it quick! (Seldom have we had a defective MF towel from Korea, but it's happened!)

0 estecoca Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Is it ok to throw all wash/dry/polish goods in the washer at the same time? For example, the wash mitt, white WW towel, blue MF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Adam Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Is it ok to throw all wash/dry/polish goods in the washer at the same time? For example, the wash mitt, white WW towel, blue MF? Hey Esteban, great question! No! Wash Microfiber with microfiber. Don't wash the mitt ever, just rinse it out before and after each use. Washing MF with terry, or anything else really, is a bad plan. The fibers are so sticky, they pick up lint, and any fabric that's in the laundry. Keep them separate for best results my friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Krzdimond Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Don't wash the mitt ever, just rinse it out before and after each use. OOPS! been washing the mitt. I need to stop doing that:loser: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chewy Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I wash all my MF before using them. They seem to work better after a wash, plus it gets some of the dye out. I washed the blue ones with my white drying towels and now my white towel is a VERY light blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chris@Adams Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I wash my mitts (alone)after each use ,never any problems ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chewy Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 How many of you prewash them in a bucket with hot water? I put some dawn and hot water in the wash bucket and then let ALL the MF soak over night and then squeeze out the water and then wash with that no color, no perfume, hypoallergenic detergent. I use it on all my clothes so NO I'm not that anal! lol Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
