Poorboy’s Word Typhoon Microfiber Detergent - Review

[Angus]

First of all, big thanks to Steve and Dwayne from Poorboy’s for including me in the Typhoon tester group.



I finally had a chance to test the product out today, washing an assortment of 33 microfiber towels (low, med, and high piles), 3 wash mitts, and even a few of the superfine microfiber’s I use for cleaning my eye glasses.

Because my wash load fell into the 26-50 towel range, I used all 4 oz of product. As others have mentioned, the detergent has a typical “fresh” scent or as Donbeezy said “Scent reminds me of cologne called Cool Water” - which I have to 100% agree with.



Now the selection of towels I was washing were not overly contaminated, were used for light duty tasks such as WW, glass cleaning, and 2 bucket post foam & pressure wash. Here’s a shot of the wash in action ½ the washing process:



As others have shown, Typhoon does a great job at removing stains and restoring our precious microfiber towels. My experience was no different.

However - and this is a BIG however - the scent gave me an enormous headache. While the wash was underway, I was sitting in the next room working and started noticing a headache coming on shortly after starting the machine. Opening the windows helped but the headache didn’t fully start to subside until after the wash was done. Granted I have a sensitive nose, and the other reviewers didn’t seem to be bothered as I did by the odor, but my suggestion would be to remove the scent altogether.

I would be happy to try out any odorless version and let you know it does/doesn’t cause another headache

Again, thanks for the opportunity fellas! I hope my feedback was helpful.

I still used 2oz even though I had 30ish towels. I normally use 2oz for half a load and 4oz full loads

Same here, but I wanted to stay true to Typhoons directions and report back on my experience. I wonder if I would have gotten that headache if I had only used 2oz?

Great write-up!

Thank you, Sir!

Sorry about the headache and thank you fro the review ...

Our directions are just suggestions .. we encourage to test the limits of the products .. maybe 2 oz would still do the work on 50 towels .. I have not tried yet, but since 4oz did such a great job on my towels, maybe less can do the same .. fragrance is not a given for final product, but since its a water based fragrance it was worth a shot .. not sure what it smells like without.. or we can put in less of that too ... that again is why everyones reviews are so important to us

with 2oz I barely had a scent in the towel. I had to hold the towel to my nose to smell it

I did not notice any scent inside the house with the washer running.

Maybe offer two versions, scented and non-scented.

I personally would buy just for scent, but some are sensitive. So maybe worth considering.
