    Microfiber

    Hello everyone another question from me about microfiber.I am very Carefull about my microfiber towels,and when they get dirty i just put it in the Washer with ONLY Hot water.But when it comes out their are tiny bit of stains of black.I tryed anew method of spraying simple green onto the towels and then washing them with hot water in the sink Is that good are their any downsides?What are other ways of cleaning this towel.

    Pinnacle makes a microfiber wash to put in the washing machine. I just use regular detergant and no fabric softener whatsoever.

    Shouldn`t be a problem since most stains are usually just cosmetic.

    What do you have against using liquid detergent? Just wash the towels in hot water using liquid detergent and they will come out clean. Stains mean nothing.

    You might want to take a look at the surface you are using your MF towels on.
    Even after using mine with S&W on a vehicle with quite a bit of road film, mine come clean in the washing machine with what ever liquid detergent my wife has on hand. No pre-soak or special treatments. I just throw them in the washer, start the warm water, add detergent and let the machine do the rest.
    They don`t get used on really grungy places like wheels or wheel wells and I only use a towel once between washings. I`m not sure I can tell the difference between my towels that are 3 months old and those that are 2+ years old.

    Could you have some tar or road oil on your car that caused the stains?

    You could try adding a 1/4 cup of distilled white vinegar to the rinse cycle. It helps remove some of the nastier stains from mine. I do you use a double rinse cycle when I wash my MF`s
