Microfiber & Pad Washing Product

I'm looking for a product that I can use to wash my microfiber towels, and also use in my Universal Pad Washer to help break down the compounds/polishes during use. From my understanding so far, a citrus based soap/product would probably excel for these needs.



So far I've seen,



DP Polishing Pad Rejuvenator was created to provide detailers with a fast and effective way to clean pads without soapy residue or foamy degreasers.



To date I believe that I've been using Woolite for the microfiber towels and a little Woolite with the water in the Pad Washer.... It's been working well so far with the towels, but they haven't gotten too heavily soiled either during use.

I use it to wash pads and applicators but for my MF's I use Micro Restore. The DP is basically Snappy Pad Cleaner relabeled and put in jar.
 
Just a slight threadjack - what do people use to clean their microfiber applicators? Soaking and then washing in hot water/Tide doesn't seem to get everything off. Maybe a APC? Thanks.

I have it. It works well. I have used as directed for soaking pads, and use it in the washer with my microfibers on occasion. I provided a few samples on trades and they now use it too. I have since found Dawn Power Dissolver, but can not get it's residue smell out of my pads. This works well too:



XMT Polishing Pad Cleaner by Pinnacle For your dual action or rotary polisher.

Why would you care about the smell? I kinda like the smell. Be sure to use some gloves cause its pretty tough on hands.

Wo wo wo!!! you can wash MF's with hot water and Tide??? I thought it should be cold wash and no detergent cuz it has fabric softner.



I have the DP stuff. Very slippery but will dry your hands out. The pads may seem still greasy, but once they are dry, they are fine. I also soak my MF's in them. For the MF's you need to aggitate and rub. Great on pads, ok on MF's. I am considering the dawn power dissolver for the MF's.
 
I only use Dawn Power Dissolver on pads/applicators that were used with either a wax or an oil based product. I use plain liquid Gain (washing machine) or a little Dawn

dish soap (sink) for pads/applicators that were used with water based products.

I separate my MF's in the wash according to wax / all others. The MFs that were used for wax are extra rinsed cycled with vinegar.

Seems to work for me.
