Washing Microfibers?

[EclassBenz]

After you are done using your MF towels and they have product on them, how do you all clean them?



I usually put them in the washing machine with just microfibers. Should i use washing detergent? it seems like you would need that to take whatever product off the towels.



If you used detergent on the MF`s and then used them to dry your car, wouldnt the detergent stip your wax?



How do you all wash your MF towels? I don`t think anyone has addressed this before



Thanks!

I use Micro-Restore and I wash it all by hand with hot water, and I hang dry them after each use.

Thanks!Yep, never in the history of Autopia has this been covered. Wash on warm, use a detergent like Tide or Cheer or whatever, MFs only in the washer, no fabric softener. Rinse twice, throw in dryer on LOW heat or air dry...profit.

WilliamHBonney- actually there are a few threads about washing MF. I can`t find them but it has been covered before.

1) Only MF products

2) Hot water, Liquid Tide Free

3) Add 1 tablespoon of distilled white vinegar per towel on rinse cycle.

4) Rinse again if necessary

5) Air dry

He was being sarcastic.

Don`t wash your polishing towels with the cheap engine detailing towels.



I put them in the washer, in the middle of the rinse cycle; I put about 2 capfuls of Vinegar.



I wash/dry on medium heat.

I use some DP pad cleaner (Powder) in a bucket and pre soak the towels (overnight), then squeeze them out and use cheapo soap (liquid) and wash them in the machine, with a second rinse. I have had them come really clean this way.

Der Wunder Wasche works pretty well for me. Just put it in the washer with the MF then let air dry.

Hey someone mentioned a temperature chart for microfibers in another thread. Does anyone have that handy?



I`ve been washing mine in warm/cold water with woolite, vinegar in rinse cycle if needed then air dry.

To the OP, it`s been discussed a lot before, but that`s okay. Here`s a few threads...
