Yeah, they say no fabric softener with towels. As far as microfiber
cloths, I really don't feel the need to dry them, if
they did go through the dryer I don't think it's the end of the
world. I have a couple of new ones that say you shouldn't iron
them (like, not a problem! laugh) but they also say don't use
on or around the eyes. I don't know why.
