    Friend used my dryer and dryed my mf towels lol

    So i have a friend who stayed over to visit my house and he needed to use the dryer and thought mf towels that were being airdryed was still bit wet and thought he was doing service and put it on normal drying (which is pretty hot still) it included 4 wash mitts too and anout 20 mf towels.

    Well im not gonna use this on my exterior of my car and definetly can use it on my tires ,windows and underneath car etc . But could i use this on exterior of the car (leather seats, panels, dashboard etx)?

    And the wash mit, what can i use this for? Looks like i have to get new wash mitts now lol (any reccomendations?)

    As for mf towels i still have around 48 which should be enough

    What’s wrong with them? Did they melt? I always dry my MF’s in the dryer (on low heat though) and they are always fine. FWIW, I find that line drying them allows dust to settle into them and they don’t feel as plush.

    Towels should be fine. I’ve dried mine on normal with no damage that I could tell. I don’t do it regularly, but accidents happen.

    As long as the mf towels and mitts do not feel hard and/or stiff (ie. the signs of heat damage), they should be fine.

    They didnt melt . Actually seems it came out softer then airdrying but i been told many times that doing regular heat destroys it

    It feels soft but it can only take few strands to get melted then scratch up the car so i think ill just use it for interior and tires

    I dry my towels every time.
    I do it on low heat, but still dry them.

    Once in the dryer on "normal heat" should be fine... they aren't ruined.

    I mean I dry my microfibers every time I wash them in the dryer.
    I also meant if the towels were only dried once in the dryer by your friend they are most definitely fine.
