something happened to my Eagle Edgeless
 
So I admit, I didnt wash one of my Eagle edgeless microfiber clothes pior to use. However, after use I did wash it. I washed it in hot water in the washing machine using no softner and I also did not use the tumble drier ( duh ).

The towel felt beautiful, almost like it was brand new. However, it now drags and deposits lint on panel. The dragging part is what concerns me the most. Any ideas on what I did wrong? Luckily I only trashed one towel.

Hmmm. I recently washed 5 of mine, on the gentle cycle, No Softener (I read the bottle to be sure there was none in the detergent) and tumble dried on low heat.
I had the same issue with lint. didn't notice any dragging, but definitely left lint behind.
Interesting.

I washed all my new micro TRC towels recently that included 4 blue EE towels. All were different GSM ratings and different colors. Washed on high heat with Tide Free and vinegar and tumble dried on low. Zero lint, zero drag, zero bleed, and came out as plush as going in.

Funny how you guys are tumble drying it. I just left mine to dry naturally, felt lovely, but drags like a ladyboy in South Korea.

I did read the detergent, I could not locate anything indicating it contained softner. Its the Members Mark Sams club detergent.

I tumble dry low then hang to let fully dry.

i use to air dry but considering i have like 30 towels i wash at a time, dont feel like hanging each one of them. lol

tumble dry low is absolutely fine.

You can soak it with white vinegar and avoid fabric softener.

I don't remember to be honest. I definately don't wash my car stuff with clothes. But I could have washed it with other "low" grade Walmart multi pack microfiber dirty used clothes.I remember it was on hot temp though.

Looks like you answered your own question. Washing your Eagle Edgeless towels with a bunch of Costco grade towels is like breeding a Westminster Kennel Club champion poodle with Scooby Doo.
