soaps with bleach alternatives

[III]

Is it ok to use liquid soaps that advertise bleach alternatives in their product for washing microfibers? For example, I usually use All, but I've noticed that they also have the same product, but it says with bleach alternative on the front bottle. On the back however, it says it does not contain chlorine bleach.

I've read posts which state not to use bleach. Are these posts referring to chlorine bleach? Besides discoloring the microfiber, why is this bad?

Here's one take on how to care for MF , its from the BCC web site:

If you read the care tag on most microfiber products, it clearly states "Do Not Use Bleach", "Do Not Use Fabric Softener" and "Do Not Wash In Hot Water". Bleach will quickly destroy the microfiber fabric by causing it to pre-maturely break down. Fabric softeners clogs the microfiber strands, reducing absorbency and cleaning ability. Hot water causes the microfibers to shrink, reducing absorbency and softness. Fortunately, there are good alternatives to bleach and fabric softeners when cleaning microfiber products.



Microfiber products can easily be washed in the machine using a mild detergent or a variety of products such as Sonüs Der Wunder Wasche, added to your wash load being certain avoiding the use of fabric softeners (that reduce absorbency) or bleach. Microfiber should always be separated from other materials to be cleaned, such as terrycloth, that produce lint. The lint will stick to the microfiber like glue and come back to haunt you the next time you use that towel on your car, so save those for another load

Rollman, I appreciate the reply. This doesn't answer my bleach alternative question though. No offense.
