Well, it sounds like you pick up most of your stuff locally. If that's the case, I would keep an eye out for Meguiar's Gold Class accessories in one of your local stores. The new Meguiar's WW towel (called the Water Magnet) is a very good WW towel and should run you around $7 to $9. The new Meguiar's Supreme Shine MF towels are also very nice, and should run around 3 for $10.
I would use your existing supply of MF for "grunge" work.

Heres what I do for lint problems. When drying them I put in an old tennis shoe, like a size 4 or something from when the kids were smaller, and let it beat the towels around in the dryer. This not only helps knock lint out of them it seems to make them much softer and more absorbant. Just my 2 cents, but it works good for me.

Interesting idea.... and, honestly, the first time I've heard this one. No baby shoes here in the house so my size 11's will have to suffice. LOL!

Is it safe to use the same washing machine?
The same machine to wash your clothes that you would also wash your car was towels and applicator pads?
Sounds like it could contaminate the washer. My wife would kick my butt.
I've just been washing my towels by hand and line drying them.
What's your opinion?

Washing by hand certainly isn't a bad thing but, on the flip side, I never hand wash my MF towels.
I segregate good microfibers from the more poor quality ones and do two loads of MF towels... beyond that, I typically have some terry and some shop towels to wash as well. Being that those never touch paint (or rarely), those get washed together. Applicators typically have their own load too.
Cross-contamination, I suppose, is a possibility on the washer but, with the concentrations of detergents and the chemical composition of most car care products, I don't think you have much to worry about.
