Default Microfiber Towels - Wash is "Cold" or "Hot" Water ?

Do you wash your Microfiber Towels in COLD or HOT Water?

I want to make sure all the embedded waxes are out. I realize drying is always on "Fluff" (no heat)

thanks

I wash them in warm water. Seems to work fine. Been doing it that way for four years and still use the original MF towels I bought back then. Of course I've added to my stash considerably since then. Probably have 40.

HOT/HOT. I recommend picking up some microfiber specific detergent, too. I've used Pinnacle's, Pak Shak's, and MicroRestore.

Thanks ZaneO...you have answered alot of my threads over the past week, it's very much appreciated. I actually just order a bunch of Pak Shak's Microfiber Towels this morning (from Hawaii). Do you order them from Hawaii, or do you know of any other more local distributors?

Hawaii is the only place right now.

Tell Ranney that Zane sent you.

I use hot water and use All Free and Clear ( no perfumes or additives)
liquid laundry detergent. I put 1 cup of vinegar in the water to conteract the hardness.
Do not use any fabric softeners in the wash .
Dry on medium heat in the drier. DO NOT use any anti static or softener sheets.
