Where do you get your 3M microfiber towels?
Want some quality MF towels that are much better quality and not bad price wise? http://www.pakshak.com/
i would toss them and get some good microfiber towels like the Sonus. I just got a new blue Sonus drying towel and 3 yellow polishing from autopia. best ever The seams are all covered, no exposed thread lines = no scratches
Regardless of where purchased there are "just ok", "good", and "excellent" MF towels. My low end towels (Sam's-Wal Mart-Costco) are delegated to door jambs, interior cleaning, and the like. Others are specific to glass and the top dogs are strictly for painted surfaces. Some are several years old but feel & work as new. Cost does matter but you don't need to spend a fortune. As shortyb pointed out pakshack is a good way to go for top quality.
I've been using the Costco MF towels for a few years. I haven't washed any yet. At $9.99 for 24, I just keep buying new packages
. If they pass the "CD Test", they are safe on paint.

Look into a microfiber-specific detergent like Micro-Restore or MicroPak (from PakShak) to wash them. Many regular laundry soaps contain fabric softeners, bleach or other things that can hurt the efficiency of the towels.
The yellow MF towels I got at Costco (Canada) come in 20 packs and are Superex brand (haven't tried them yet).
Is this the same Costco brand you guys are talking about?

Just got a huuuge PakShak order in the other day. All the towels I bought are very very nice and appear to be well made. We'll see how they hold up but their rep is excellent. As ScottP said, wash them with a specific detergent for best results. PakShak towels come with towel care instructions.
Even though this thread is a little dated, I thought I'd share a very recent experience-
Instead of using something alkaline, I thought I would try a neutral-pH cleaner; I used Maintex Neutral Floor Cleaner (from Costco Business Center) which is free-rinsing. I took the dirtiest towel I had and soaked it fairly good with the stuff and threw it in with about a dozen others in my front-loader.
It not only got the towels clean but the absorbency appears to have substantially returned.
If any of you have some neutral cleaner handy you might want to try this method. It worked VASTLY superior to my old TSP/borax method!!!
