    How long does it take to dry your MF towels?

    I just washed my new mits and towels and put them in the drier. This time using the no heat setting instead of medium like I've been doing ignorantly. They were in for almost an hour and they are still pretty damp. Not dripping by any means but definitely damp. What should I do? Put them in longer?

    I use ultra low heat and my thicker and plusher towels take almost an hour to dry completely.

    So is low heat ok? I have regular heat, medium heat, low heat, and no heat. I use regular heat for everything but MF.

    On low heat, about 30 minutes for medium thickness (480GSM) and an hour for thick (1000GSM).

    Do any of you think that tumbling your MF around a dryer for an hour has a negative impact on their longevity?

    I dry mine on high, until almost dry and then switch to medium to finish drying.

    Never had any issues.

    I hooked up a switch to my dryer to turn off heat. I run them on low heat for 20 minutes then 2 hours tumbling with no heat.

    I turned it on low heat. Let it run for a couple minutes then checked. Everything but the cobra guzzlers were dry and not even that hot just a tad warm in certain spots. Let the cobra guzzlers go for another five minutes and they dried.
