I just washed a couple of microfiber towels with other towels I use. One of those towels must have been outside because my microfiber towels now have all these small pieces of leaves. Is there a way I can get rid of them without using tweezers and picking them out individually?

now you know why you should wash mfs without other rags!
i would try washing them alone again- that should do it... if not, you are stuck with the tweezers!
i would probably just get new ones, cause you just might have nice scratch pads with particles stuck in the mf.

That's what I was thinking, I just made expensive brillo pads

lol
agree, it would be best (safest to your finish) to abandon them...

If there not to bad, you may want to use them washing windows. Both on the car and around the house.

Don't let one drop to the ground, those things are like dirt magnets.

NO NO NO! Don't need to do that. I had the same problem, and got rid of the leaves.

Get a very stiff-bristled brush at the grocery store in the cleaning supply area, and just brush it like you would brush a dog. It worked just fine. You do have to use some elbow grease, but I did finally get the leaves out, and saved myself some $$$ in towels.

It has to be pretty stiff, so a vegetable or potato brush might not do the trick. Brass brushes might work, but seems kinda harsh...

Let me try that. Thanks!
