Question Waffle Weave Drying towel care?

I just picked up a Waffle weave drying towel and was curious on how to care for it. I have not had one and it seems like I would just start drying the car with it dry. Do I use it just like a towel or chamois? Is it best to start drying with it damp or dry?

What about storing, should I let dry and just put away or always keep damp in a bucket or something. I have heard some good things about these waffle weave towels and just want to know the proper way to use this new towel. Thanks

Won't work when it's wet.

Wipe her down with a dry WW...like you would with a damp chamios

After that I throw mine in the washer with my other MF towels...liquid Tide...cold water...and throw them in the dryer with no heat.

IMO, it's a "towel"...so that's the way I maintain it.

My 2 cents

Hopefully Chris will chime in.

Yes it makes sense as you refer it to a towel. Thank you very much. I thought the same but wanted to make sure from someone that uses one. Thanks

I actually wet mone first then wring it out real good. Dry also works. You get best results by using swiping motions in one direction. Wash with a liquid detergent on cool or warm then dry by either hanging or dryer, no heat. Dont use fabric softeners.
