I picked some of these^ Cookie Monster MF Buffing Towels from eshine last year.
I absolutely loved them at first because they are double sided & the plushest MF I've ever used.

After washing them a couple of times (with proper MF detergent) I'm finding that they're shedding like crazy.
At first I thought that the lint trap need cleaning on the dryer, but that isn't the case.
I'm wondering if anyone else has used these & what your thoughts are.

I have to order more towels soon,
so please post up any good ones you've found.

Heck, I use the same ones and mine have been washed many times with no issues. I just use regular washer soap, but not a lot. I do them by theirselves on low heat/cold rinse and dry them in the dryer without fabric softeners or sheets.

I want to buy some more large waffle weave drying towels from eshine, they have the 16" square ones on sale this month but I want the big drying towels.

 

I also wash them by themselves w/o dryer sheets etc.

It's been the last 2 times that it's happened.
The towels themselves are still in great shape but I'm get this fine lint left on the car.



This is the MF detergent I use.

 

I would suggest to hang dry instead of the dryer.

 

I have had some of mine since 2005, so I dunno maybe it has something to do with water temp in the washer (I use the same soap K uses to do the wash)
I will definitely keep an eye on mine.

 

Ian, I have several of those as well as they are favourite too. I haven't experience any shedding like you have though. I haven't used the micro-restore detergent, but I do use Detailers Pride detergent.....not really sure if that would make any difference though.

 

I used the same ones, but I haven't had any issues with the lint. Only difference I hang dry them all.

 

^ I'm going to try that the next time.
Thanks for the info guys.

 

Ian,

What type of water are you using? Is it municipal supplied?
Water softener used?

Have you asked anyone from Detailed Image or e-shine?

 

I just missed their 2 for 1 sale on these last month.

I don't have these cm's but my other towels get hung to dry and have no issues there.

 

It's softened well water Bill.
No I haven't talked to them yet, I wasn't sure if it's something I'm doing or the towels.

 

I bought a wack of these when they had a 241 sale. Wash them with the same stuff as you do Ian. Cute bottle dispenser, I like it , sometimes they lint a bit.

 

Thanks Sam.
hmmm, I wonder if it's the detergent?

Anyone else using it?
