Great topic and write up, sometimes we get so focused on waxes,sealants and etc....and forget about some of the basics, such as proper MF care, especailly for newbies or beginners, great info.

doesn`t the vinegar make the towels stink?
Vinager doesn`t leave a smell....
Check Bobby`s original post. He uses vinaigrette the same way. There are others that do as well. So far I have had no ill effects.
I use dryer balls
these work very well both for drying and washing
No, not at all. By using 1/2 cup on the small load setting there isn`t one hint of odor once the towels are finished rinsing and dried.
I suspect what Troy meant here is the vinegar doesn`t change the towels properties or clog the MF towels.

Doesn`t really matter as i don`t mind pickles...LOL
I used to use tide free or Woolite and always had good results. Then I tried a dedicated microfiber detergent and haven`t looked back.
What would be the biggest difference between the two, that would justify purchasing a separate product? ThanksI used to use tide free or Woolite and always had good results. Then I tried a dedicated microfiber detergent and haven`t looked back.
Chemically I have no idea. This is one of those areas that I have not had the time to research at all.
I can tell you that the microfiber comes cleaner using a dedicated cleaner and that the fabric is softer/fluffier.
If you take a bucket filled with with a touch of vinegar and dunk a microfiber towel in it (after washing with a detergent) you may be surprised at the amount of soap residues that are released. When I have done the same with a microfiber towel washed with a microfiber cleaner almost no residue was released. I no longer add vinegar to my rinse cycle.
I prefer Charlie`s Soap. No soak required as it cuts oils, grease, wax, etc.
I do rinse with vinegar. Thanks to someone who mentioned it last year.
Dry at 30 minutes, medium temp.
Before drying, I wipe the drum with alcohol to remove any fabric softener left behind by dryer sheets or dryer balls.
Bunky the way i`m reading it is he is saying that he doesn`t add it now because using a microfiber cleaner there is no residue relesed so there is no need for the vinegar. I always understood the vinegar to be a natual softener. Since I always do a double rinse I just figured the extra rinse cycle took out the residue not the vinegar.
