OK, thanks. Not sure what the deal is. Will try again.

Cold wash with Tide, hang to dry. You could tumble dry on low, if needed.

I do not buy into the hype of dedicated microfiber washes. It is not necessary.

Re: How do you personally wash and dry your microfibers

I personally throw them all in the washer using Charlie's soap. Rinse twice then dryer.

Re: How do you personally wash and dry your microfibers

I only wash towels I think are paint safe, ones I deem non safe dont get washed and get demoted to random towels in a box till they get thrown out. Do interior towels separate. Wash with hot water with watever detergent I have and a little dawn thrown in. Rinse on cold and dry with delicate setting on dryer.

spray stains with Resolve, Tide HE and a scoop of oxyclean stain remover, normal wash with a 30 minute soak cycle, white vinegar in the "bleach" reservoir and MF Restore in the "fabric softener" reservoir. Dry on low heat. Very satisfied with the results.

Re: How do you personally wash and dry your microfibers

I wash in two loads. MF that was used for cleaning or with detail spray or claying. And everything that was in contact with wax or other topper.

Then machine wash with Micro Restore and warm water. Really bad dirty areas I might spray with a pre-treat.
