How to Wash Your Golf Towel the Right Way

Microfiber only works when it’s maintained. If you want predictable spin and clean grooves, your towel needs to stay absorbent and “grabby,” not coated in softener film.

The two enemies of microfiber performance high heat and fabric softener
Insight: microfiber fails for two reasons: heat and softeners. Heat warps fibers; softeners coat fibers. Either way: less absorption, less debris capture, worse cleaning.

FAQ

Should I remove the carabiner before washing?

Yes. Remove metal attachments to prevent them from bouncing around and damaging the drum or the towel.

Can I wash microfiber towels with regular towels?

Don’t. Lint-heavy cotton can clog microfiber. Keep microfiber loads separate when possible.

What ruins microfiber performance the fastest?

Heat and fabric softener. Heat can warp fibers; softener coats fibers and kills absorbency and debris capture.

Can I put a magnetic towel in the dryer?

If you must, use “Air Dry” or “No Heat” only. Heat is the risk. Air-drying overnight is the safest method.
