Just bought some and would like to know if there's a simple solution to washing them. I checked on camaroz28.com but they seem to prefer an elaborate solution to cleaning the towels with several ingredients. -- 94z28 D.D. slp cai, 3.42's, flowmaster exhaust, and tb bypass.

It seemed to be a favorite among owners over there so I went with a blade and microfiber to finish it off. I'm not hardcore enough to purchase a leaf blower to dry the car. -- 94z28 D.D. slp cai, 3.42's, flowmaster exhaust, and tb bypass.

I just wash mine in the washer, nothing else, just those towels and a tiny bit of laundry soap.
I'm with Ryanfx, they really creep me out when I fold them after washing them.
But I'm okay with them when I'm washing or waxing.
My formy has her very own leaf blower!!
I love it, get's all those drippy places.  -- 94 Formula M6 - Jackie - I love my Formy!

Just like my K&N air filter, I toss microfivers after one use. I dont want the wax, oils, etc in my washing machine and the towels are relatively cheap so why not?
I dry with the silicone blade, micro fiber twels and cotton diapers. If time is an issue, out comes the leaf blower. -- When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained - Samuel Clemens

Like what was said above, light detergent in the washer, and then air dry them. don't put them in the dryer.
Also, Oneowner, i used to use a silicone blade too, till i found out how bad it was for the paint.

^^I have used the blade for about 7 years and have not had one streak, scratch, etc. I wipe it dy after each pass also.
Even my painter gave it the thumbs up. My paint is 9 years old and you can still read in the reflection -- When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained - Samuel Clemens

Blade=awesome.
Oh, and wash the microfibers separately and you should be fine. If you throw them in with some terry towels or really anything else they'll get all ratty. -- 96 Chevy S-10 4.3 LITERS OF FURY!!!
