Review - 3D Towel Kleen

[Mary B]

just dug up this review looking for some positive feedback on this product
definitely ordering this next as i have only a few oz left of my pinnacle mf cleaner

thanks for the review

3D Towel Kleen is a fine product. I`ve been using it for a year or two now. I use it every time and am having good results. It slowly removes old stains. Towels come out nice. Economy priced.

I use about 1.25 oz per load in HE machine.

I also really like Towel Kleen. It managed to clean my ONR stained towels almost perfectly white again.

I use only 1oz per load (small load, hot water).

Just got my first gallon last week. I was amazed at the difference. Towels came out cleaner and softer. This will be my go-to towel detergent from now on.

Some good results

OH MAN ...Everybody likes it, I thought it made my towels crunchy & not soft. Switched to BF,WG & CG`s now they are good.

Just out of curiosity, what`s the advantage to using a "towel cleaner" as opposed to a mainstream laundry detergent like Tide? Are the surfactants in the soap really that different or more effective? IMHO, wouldn`t using a milder soap meant for clothing be advantageous in keeping the fibers soft and scratch free, as opposed to a more "caustic" formula soap?

Good question!! Another repackaged overpriced product as far as I`m concerned.

I use detergent made buy the people that actually specialize in detergent. Works fine for me.

I use towel kleen pretty much exclusively for my MFs and even my regular bath towels. I also have the kirkland unscented, hypoallergenic laundry detergent that works well. Id have to do a comparison of the two but I find towel kleen gets my microfibers pretty clean or close to new even on the soiled interior/ engine MFs.

Mary B - haven`t noticed the crunchy issue after using Towel Kleen. How much do you use? Do you put the towels through an additional rinse cycle? I usually do a final rinse cycle to ensure no residue is left on the towels and once they dry they are usually very soft.

Towel Kleen is supposed to be low foaming and has no softeners etc.

I thought with conventional laundry detergents like Tide if they have softeners/ polymers in them it can interfere with the properties of the MFs? Any noticed that using Tide or similar product to wash?

This seems to explain the chemicals in Tide in a way I can understand lol - Laundrypedia; Detergent Ingredients | Innovation - Tide
Looks like it has some amount of Hydrogen Peroxide in it as well.

I am sure someone with a better understanding of Chemistry would be able to chime in on the differences. lol
