Should You Wash Your Blackline Drying Towel This Way? Here’s the Safer Method

Blackline’s twisted loop drying towel feels plush out of the package—but how you wash it determines whether it stays that way. One wrong step, and it could turn scratchy, lose absorbency, or start shedding lint.

In this post, we’ll break down the best way to wash ANY twisted loop microfiber towel—including Blackline’s—and reveal a safer, more durable option for long-term use.


The Mistake Most People Make

Twisted loop towels like Blackline’s are ultra-absorbent—but also ultra-sensitive. Many users wash them:

  • With regular laundry detergent (bad idea)
  • On hot settings (shrinks and curls fibers)
  • With cotton towels or clothes (leaves lint embedded)

That’s why so many reviewers say their towel gets worse after just a few washes.


How to Properly Wash a Drying Towel

Follow these steps to keep your towel soft, absorbent, and safe for your paint:

  1. Wash separately: Only with other microfiber towels.
  2. Use a dedicated microfiber detergent or a tiny amount of free & clear liquid soap (no fabric softeners, no fragrance, no bleach).
  3. Cold or warm water only. Hot water damages fibers.
  4. Air dry or tumble dry low. No dryer sheets, no high heat.

Bonus Tip: Wash your towel after every use. Trapped dirt or minerals = scratches next time.


A Better Long-Term Drying Option

The Massive Drying Towel is built with 1200 GSM, dual twisted loop fibers and zero edges or tags. It resists breakdown—even after dozens of washes.

Many users who switched from the Blackline towel to the Massive Drying Towel reported better softness, faster drying, and more water absorption with no lint issues.
