I keep
these in my garage for other reasons, and they are really good for drying off a wet bike as well as general cleaning, removing excess chain oil, etc.
I have a bunch of red cloth shop towels, including a couple dozen new (still in the package) in my garage, and never seem to use them anymore, specifically because I
don't want them to grease up my clean clothes washer.
