so i went to wash my adams single plush towels and noticed that when the water ran for a minute it turned warm on the cold setting. so i checked the sink, started off cold than gradually became warm

. i don't know how long this has been doing this (probably a while but haven't noticed). its not real hot but its lukewarm and not cool. do you guys think they're still useable?

yes your towels are still usable don't worry.

Far as I know machine drying your towels is the best way to ruin them.

I am a part time detailer and I machine wash my towels all of the time with warm water. Anything that you hear about heat ruining towels is false. Unless you dry them on high hear in the dryer. This will shorten their life but not ruin them.

Dylan actually recommends boiling them if they are really dirty.
