I have avoided using waffle weave for a long time because I could never find a good "safe" way to dry them. I remember years ago i would hang my 100% cotton towels up in my garage, but i would be super paranoid about dirt falling on them from the air and later marring the paint. For years i have used my synthetic chamois and kept it sealed permanently in a rubber made container full of water. i change the water after eveyr car wash and tt stays 100% clean and I can confirm it does not create any new marring.

I know waffle weave however does dry better, especially on a black car. But what is the method that other autopians use to dry the waffle weave safely. I don't want to just seal it in a zip lock bag because it will rot, not dry and stink over time. I bought all these waffle weave and really want to try them out though...i hate being so paranoid, but its for the best having a black swirl free car!

I wash all of my towels after they have been used once. After washing them all, I dry them by hanging them up around the house or in the dryer with the dryer on low heat/delicates.

same here. never use a MF for more than one use. i air dry mine inside.
i also store them in a closed cabinet in the garage.

Wow thats real dedication. I had a feeling others were not just putting them on a hook in the garage to dry after use. It looks like i have to buy a few more waffle weaves to add to my collection. I cant run the washing machine every time I wash my car! Thanks for the input though.

I get 80% dry in the dryer and then hang them to finish drying.

My WW's get used once then washed and dried with the rest of my MF's. WW's can deteriorate just as fast as MF's, if not maintained properly.
