    My Cobra's were fine until I ran out of Pinnacle MFR. I tried using Woolite and all of my towels began to lint like crazy. Got a gallon of PMFR, re-washed all my towels, no more linting. The purple Cobra Jr's are my favorites.

    It's merely my own observation here but but I was getting aggravated with when my towels started linting when I switched to Woolite. They didn't lint at all when I was using Pinnacle MFR, same towels started linting with Woolite, switched back Pinnacle and no linting whatsoever.
    I'm sticking with Pinnacle MFR.
    Life's too short to deal with towels that lint!

    If the towel becomes too dirty, it will begin to “streak”, it is then time to wash the towel. Pre-soak in a liquid detergent / water and then squeeze out wax/polish with your hands and rinse thoroughly. If the towel still tends to ‘streak’ boil the towels for at least 20 minute. It will actually release more wax / polish residue even after the towel has been washed. This will also release any lint, which will actually come to the surface of the water. Empty out the water and then remove the towel, don’t do it the other way or you'll re-introduce the lint to the towel again.

    That is a very interesting observation since I was all of my MFs with Woolite. I have only ever used this, and still my only MFs that are linting are the Cobra Jrs. Just recently, howerver, my other Cobras have started linting, too.

    My non-Cobra branded MFs, hower, are not linting even though I'm washing them with Woolite.

    Very odd.

    What are you using to wash your MFs? Woolite? And how are your other MFs reacting to it?

    Let's get to the bottom of this!

    I've always washed all my microfibers with Micro Restore and only my purple cobras lint up to this point. Seems to be random but not uncommon so who knows .
