Microfiber Towel Warranty: Protect Your Investment with Proper Care

[amya]

I have a friend who purchased a microfiber towel in March of 2006. She told me that it has stained. Evidently she used it to soak up some iced tea and didn't immediately wash it. Has anyone else had this happen? Are these under a warranty?

One year warranty, just like everything else.

But hello?!?!?!? Iced Tea and then she didn't wash it?!?!?

That's stretching it on the warranty, IMHO. The warranty covers manufacturers defects, not user error.

I don't think staining would be under warranty, would it??

They have a 1 year warranty. I have never had one of mine stain. But then again, I use the darker colors. What was out in March, the green and the two shades of blue wasn't it? My mind is drawing a blank at the moment of the exact colors!

I would say to call HO. Tell them it is still under warranty and has stained. Worst they can say is no, but I'll bet they will replace it for her!

There is no mention in our catalog that they will not stain! That relates to normal use. Have you ever noticed how the colors can change on a light colored towel that you run through with blue jeans? I made that mistake with one of the HWC pinks from 2005. They still absorb liquid if you use them to mop up juice, or any other liquid, regardless of the stains, just like any other
microfiber towel. I don't use my lighter ones to mop up spills but the Cranberry color and the Turquoise are great for that. They are my most used colors. I've thought of writing HO and suggesting that they have one dark and one light color in each season's selections, for just that reason.

That's a great suggestion because they are super absorbent and great for spills, but I wouldn't want to discolor mine.

And tea is the worst for stains. Heck, you can use it instead of dye to make white things beige.

I once was in a wedding where the lace on the bridesmaids dresses were stained with tea on purpose to give them the "antiquey" look! (I know - stealing the thread...but that's what came to mind....umm, Ann started it with her comment! )
