cleaning microfiber

What is the best way to clean microfiber towels? Should I just throw them in the washing machine and then hang them dry or would handwashing or something be better?

It's recommended to handwash with mild soap or car wash and line dry.

Though I haven't washed mine in quite a while

we recently hand washed ours with dawn (cuts dirt and grease) and then dried them on low heat for around 15 minutes...we let them air dry the rest of the way...they were GOOD AS NEW!

Wash with dish soap in cold or warm water. Do not wash in hot water this can hurt the fibers. Dry on low. I've had good luck doing this.

Duhh, could you put vinegar in for softening action? I use it on my clothes and it works without covering your clothes with that gross oily stuff....

I second what Lava box wrote, washing machine, soap and no fabric softener, drier on low. I have washed many loads of these and they come out perfectly clean. You can use a laundry booster like Spray and Wash or Oxy clean also, makes them cleaner.

sorry, Ben but I need a ruling on this play...
you used the term 'delicates'. that term on a car site is an odd juxtaposition - I can't remember the last time I uttered the word. do you care to explain?

jk, man
