Detail Addicts: Washing Mitts and Towels

Random question, do you guys have the galls to wash your car towels in the same washer and dryer you would wash your clothes?

Trying to make sure my wife doesn’t kill me for wrecking her new laundry machines

Yes. Doesn’t really bother me. I don’t wash greasy towels though.

Yes, but I do two full wash/rinse cycles plus one additional rinse cycle. And I let the towels soak for about an hour half way through the first wash cycle.

Seems to work pretty well, but I have an old school washer that still fills up with water.

makes sense. no different than dirty laundry (i.e. dirt mud) but when it comes to greasy towels, I think I'll take those to coinop laundry machines since they are far and few.
