cobra towel question

Ok here is my question , I was letting my towels airdry after I cleaned them. Then my girlfriend came along and saw that they were wet. Being the nice girlfriend she usually is she decided to stick my cobra towels in the dryer. Now when I use my waffle weave for glass it makes a squeeking noises, did she unknowingly ruin my towel, how can I remedy this, and second is the souveran spray wax a qd or does it last more like liquid or paste wax.

I don't think your girlfriend has ruined your MF towels. Did she use a fabric softener in the dryer? I would simply re-wash the MF towels. I wash all of mine in the Washer and then put them in the dryer at Low Heat with No Softeners and they come out great. As for the soveran spray wax, it has more durability than a QD.

Rewash and use white vinegar in the rinse cycle.

go with dawn or the vinegar. then you may want to consider the MicroRestore to bring back their "plushness"

a simple rewash should help them, and drying is fine its the fabric softner and sheets that can hurt. You could lie to her to get more towels however, but you need to live with your conscience.

Souveran Spray Wax --- booster wax

Buckets in hot water mixed with some APC or other cleaner, I do this with all my micros before washing, the dirt/grime/chemicals that it will release with hot water and good cleaner after sitting for a night is crazy.

Or a wash with some white vinegar or APC should be fine on hot/warm setting.
