Washing MF towels
Alright so at my shop I have MF towels dedicated to each job itself the green for interior, blue for glass,Orange for multipurpose, Black and yellow for Exterior and of course drying MF towels as well. My question is it safe to wash them all together? Or should I wash them in batches keeping them in there own groups.
Also what is the best way to wash MF towels getting them clean and newer longer with out having to by MF cleaner?
Note I use a laundry mat to clean my MF towels.

Re: Washing MF towels
I would try and keep MF towels in seperate loads based on what product was used. Never mix towels that have tire/interior dressing with polishing/paint towels. I have been using Purex free and clear and that works really well. Cheap too. I do pre-rinse towels that have debris or are heavily soiled. I even wash my Meguiar's MF wash mitt often.

Three loads:
1. Paint
2. Interior
3. Tire/wheel/trim

Omg, you're a freaking genius and I'm retarded. I been so tired of washing all my towels by hand because I don't have an extra washer and dryer for the nasty gunk and all this time there's a laundry mat around the corner that I've never thought to try.

Lmao, it doesn't matter, but you may prefer top load as it gets a lot of the water out. I wouldn't recommend drying them in the dryer as it may wreck the fibers. Just hang them to dry

Re: Washing MF towels
You can use the dryer, but best keep the heat setting on the dryer at low to prevent any damage to the towels.
What ever you do, DO NOT use fabric softener on your microfiber!
I've been washing all mine together, granted, I don't use good microfiber towels on the wheels, just disposables for that.
I haven't had any issues, but curious what kind of trouble one would run into by not going separate loads for paint, interior, glass, and sealant. Just debris cross contamination, or some type of chemical/ingredient reaction?

You get wax on your glass towels and then on your glass causing streaks
