That's part of your problem with towels. Here's my recommended regimine:

Caring for Mitts and Towels

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

That is great advice, thank you! I will give it a try. I wondered about the cleaning part, that is why I just use them once.

Yeah, fabric softener and powdered detergents can leave a film and possibly scratch the finish.
