Every manufacturer of MFs that I have seen always say DO NOT wash with regular clothes. If it works for you, that's fine, but the manufacturers recommend against it. Your MFs will pick up the lint and stuff from your normal clothes.
Even if you have other clothes that could stand to be dried on low heat, don’t put them in with microfiber. The static nature of microfiber will attract every bit of lint from other garments. Wash and dry microfiber separately.
Tip: If you wash your microfiber products in the washing machine, throw used ones in a separate bin from the regular laundry. This will prevent an accidental mix-up that could result in compromised microfiber.
I believe he (grampi) was stating that he washes the micofiber stuff with other cotton towels/cloths and such which he uses for the car ONLY, NOT with his clothes which he and his family wear (but I could be wrong on this-grampi??).
Besides, I would NEVER put clothes in with the car wash/wax load anyway (even IF the manufacturers said it was perfectly OK to do so), since I doubt the dust residue from Collinite 845 is very good for one's skin, nor is the smell it would transfer very appealing (I don't even like to wash wearing clothes right after using the washer for a car wash/wax load).
No, I put them in with my regular cloths...never had a problem with my cloths, or the micro fibers doing this...but there's certainly nothing wrong with taking extra precautions either...
