Default I've tossed them in the dryer...but low heat only.

Instructions call for the same. My guess is the synthetic fibers are very sensitive to extreme heat, and if you cook them, you'll ruin their effectiveness. I haven't tested the theory...at $4-5/towel, I'll take their word for it.

Default I've got a couple of these.....

I got the large green towels shown <a href="http://www.microfibertech.com/largeWaffle-weave.html">here</a>.

They are nice towels but seem to be a little "stiffer" than the big blue towels from properautocare. Since the big blues "feel" softer I use those first, once those are all dirty I use the ones linked above.

No problems with either!! Microfiber rules ;-)

Default Their site said that it takes about 8 weeks to get a case delivered.

Does it really take that long?

Default Ummm, well, if you order 1000 at a time, yes...

I ordered 25 or so, so the price went from $5.29 to $3.49 ea. It came right away. I think as long as you're ordering less than 100 at a time, it shouldn't be an issue.

Default I think 150 pieces would be about $2.50 each.

I'd order that, but I don't need that many.

Default

Also don't use a fabric softener/static-free type cloth in the dryer.
