Re: Would you use these towels again?
I wash in warm water, not the hottest setting. And I dry on low heat. I used to hang them to dry but just takes too much space and time to be completely dry, in the dryer, low heat, less than 1 hour and it's dry and ready to store. Never had issues with the towels. I use Microrestore but previously used All Free and Clear and that was fine too.

The reason I’m against air drying is because when I used to do it I noticed that the towels would dry a bit crispy/leaving the fibers less soft. I see a noticeable difference when the towels are dried in the dryer. They come out softer.. Maybe it does have something to do with residual fabric softener, I dunno.
As far as the linting, I’ve never experienced linting with my dryer. I’m pretty anal about the lint trap being cleaned after every load no matter what it is.
For the record: My brother once thought he would do me a favor and through a whole load of microfibers in the dryer for me on high heat with 2 fabric softener sheets, for a full 60min... I was so frustrated that I was set on throwing them straight in the garbage just to show him how disappointed I was..
However as I got a close look and feel of the towels I couldn’t find anything wrong with them. They even worked fine when I put them to the test. Those same towels are my 3rd batch of Kirklands, which I still use today. They survived just fine.

Re: Would you use these towels again?
Since everyone regards Kirklands as “disposable” towels... I challenge anyone who has a batch to dry them on high heat and add a fabric softener sheet and post their results. Based on my experience the whole thing is damn near a myth!

I’m willing to take 1 for the team. So today I’m going to wash this batch of microfibers in hot water and dry them on high heat with a fabric softener sheet. I’ll even toss in 1 of my perfectly good PFM towels in the mix. Lets see what happens.
I’ll post the complete facts. You have my word.

The label says it all. Do not wash using water at more than 40 celcius or 105 F. That means warm and not hot water as normal household hot water exceed 105F. Dry at low temp.

It's interesting to note that Griot's themselves recommend using a hot water wash for their MF towels.
That said, everyone's definition of hot water may differ depending on their hot water heater setting. I've seen some people set their thermostat to as high as 140 F ... not good.

wash in warm water with an extra rinse cycle, and then dry on the lowest heat setting with dryer balls (i snap each towel out before putting them into the dryer). been doing that for years with no problems...

This is why all of my towels are black.
Just one less worry.......
