Question Cleaning your microfiber towels?

I put mine in the washing machine plus use plain simple washing powder (not much). Have done this numerous times and they (a bunch of Cobra towels and a few with no brand) seem to hold up pretty well.

How do you guys wash/clean yours? Do you also use the microfiber rejuvenator?

I have used Liquid Detergent, Oxy Clean,APC, Pinnacle Microfiber Rejuvenator. When washing my MFs i consider what products are on'em or how dirty the towels are, this will determine what i use and how i wash them..I almost always use the Pinnacle Rejuvenator when washing the better of my MFs. Hope the information is useful..

I use a dedicated MF towel detergent to wash all my detailing towels and pads. Have used Micro Restoe with great success. I stopped using it because I found it a little to expensive.

Have had success with most OTC products that do not contain any enhancers. No bleach or fabric softners.

At this time I am using Charlie's Soap. It works well.

I hand wash mine in hot water (wearing nitrile rubber gloves) with Liquid Tide.
Then I rinse them thoroughly in warm water with a little distilled vinegar and allow them to air dry.

Plain liquid detergent seems to work fairly well. I have some MF detergent coming soon, though.

Don't use powdered detergent. If it doesn't all disolve, some may get trapped in the towel and result in scratches/swirls when you use them.

I'm currently using Sonus MF wash in the washing machine. Once I run out of the Sonus I'll likely just use regular liguid detergent.

Hmmm, I might stop using powder detergent then. Come to think of it sometimes it really feels as if there are still traces of powder in there.
