The waffle weaves I use for glass are 24”x36” and can go much longer and actually stay dry on the dry side compared to any small 16”x24” glass towel because there’s much more towel/cushion between the folds. That makes it easy to have a wet and dry side instead of 2 saturated sides after a couple of windows.
2. It’s 80/20 blend. It’s a known fact that a waffle weave of 70/30 blend will dry far better than an 80/20 towel, and that’s why my glass towels [and mostly all of my waffle weaves for that matter] are 70/30 blend.
P.s. NormL microfiber towels can leave a micro amount of linting on glass. Try using a plush microfiber and it’ll be beyond a micro amount.
Paper towels can be problematic as well unless they’re the industrial kind [you don’t want to use the soft ones]
Spray the towel, never spray directly on the glass. Why? Because overspray happens. Why is overspray from glass cleaner a problem? Because alot of them contain alcohol, and alcohol is known to remove lsp in most cases.
