Default Best way to get lint out of MF towels?

So I have some microfiber towels that have picked up a ton of lint my guess being from microfiber towels that had a considerable amount of lint in them.

So what's the best way to get rid of all that extra lint in these towels?

Wash them with a microfiber wash detergent and let hang dry. you could also use a stick lint brush to get it out. They don't seem to leave a residue.

If you've washed them with regular towels, I'm afraid they're shot. I have a couple that snuck in the regular wash, and they're toast. I use them for wheel wells now.

For smaller pieces of lint, alot of times, I'll use a pair of tweezers to pull them out individually, just like I pull little pieces of dirt out.

Hmmm...that's what I was afraid of.

I guess I can always find other uses for them around the house, and now it gives my another reason to go shopping for more -

You mean linting? I have noticed that some of mine do that, especially the Cobra Jrs. They are bunk, I use them for around the house now. I cannot use them on anyhting else, perhaps wheels.

I have this same problem with my cobra's leaving little fibers behind, it's driving me crazy.

How do I find some good mf's?
