Default Drying Microfiber Towels

After machine washing your dirty microfiber towels do you guys and gals put a sheet of fabric softner in the dryer with the towels? Or is it better to dry them without fabric softner sheets?

Caring for Mitts and Towels

- Wash on the Hot/Cold setting
- Use Liquid Detergent only w/ no bleach and NO fabric softener
- Add White Vinegar to the rinse cycle for added softness and soil release
- Rinse twice
- Dry towels on low heat w/ no fabric sheets

After washing my MF towels with a small amount of detergent, I hang them up and let them air-dry. They come out real nice.
Never have dried them in the dryer.

Although no need for seperate detergent and vinegar, just use a product specifically designed to release dirt, wax, and polish from micros. A little goes a long way ... and always wash micros seperately from all other towels and laundry.
