Microfiber towels safe in the dryer???
No...I just use them straight out the box.
I bought a gross (144) about a year ago and I have about 1/2 of a box left. I figure I use 3-4 at a car show and about the same per polish...so $3 a time is not bad. Then I dont have to worry about grit or fuzz or anything....plus they dont seem to work as well after being washed and dried.

I personally have been told to wash them by themselves, i.e. all microfiber together. and not to use any fabric softener and avoid heat. tumble dry low heat is fine.
I air dry though. just my .02

washing them prior to use is a good idea.
too much chance from potential contamination during the manufacturing and shipping process for my taste.
if your towels don't launder well, then by better towels.
Wash them by themselves, dry them by themselves, make sure you empty out your lint collector. I never really wash any auto towels with soap either, a tablespoon of white vinegar for each towel. Low heat for drying. Using well water here in florida and air drying can sometimes cause your towels to stink like ****, so that is never an option for me because then my hands will smell like **** and it's impossible to get rid of the smell no matter how hard you try.
Don't ever let your clothes sit in the washer over night either......lol

The liquid laundry detergent will break down the wax and polish residues during the warm/hot wash cycle. No powder varieties.
Adding the vinegar during the cold water rinse cycle acts as the fabric softener for microfibers while helping to release any soap suds trapped in the fabric.
Line dry or low heat in the dryer is OK. Hotter drying temps. could cause the microfiber to melt.
Boiling your older microfiber towels for 10 minutes will also help the revive their cleaning capabilities.
Dryer sheets or fabric softeners are not recommended.
