If No Microfiber Wash, What Detergent To Use?

[Joe@NextLevelDetail]

I usually use 3d Towel Kleen.

However I forgot to bring some from my shop.

And I'm currently in indiana, and need to clean my towels.

Before I used towel kleen I used Dreft, the baby soap.

Wanted to know what everyone else uses if they didn't have micro wash.

Should I stick with the Dreft? Or any other suggestions ?

Thanks in advance wanted to see if anybody has good ideas (as you usually do)

Something like All free and clear with a little vinegar would help you in a pinch though just remember don't get a detergent with a fabric softener in it or anything like that nor use any kind of powder cleaners

Also no fragrance. If washing machine is able tell to do an extra rinse.

All free and clear

I've been using Purex free and clear with great results. ~$8 for 150 oz and its high efficiency washer approved. I've used it on my work clothes with good results. I don't know exactly how much detergent I use per load, would guess around an ounce, little more if towels are extra soiled. I would bet most of our personal cars are kept so clean that our MF don't get very dirty.

My nose is now so sensitive to the fragrance when I walk into a room I can smell laundry detergents and fabric softeners on other peoples freshly washed clothes. I like no fragrance. Except with my detailing supplies. Bring on the fruity scents.

before I got a dedicated MF soap I was using All Free and Clear with no problems

Whatever free and clear is on sale

Yup... as they all say.... use a "clear" liquid detergent. Add in a cup of white vinegar and you're set.

If they are loaded with sealants and LSP's, then it's not a bad idea to do a presoak with your favorite APC.

Just do an extra rinse, extra spin, and you're all good.
