Microfiber wash water

[WRXINXS]

Hello,

I know to dry microfibers on low or no heat but how about the wash water. Can I use hot on that or do I have to use cold?

I have always used warm to hot water and have never had a problem. In my opinion, the hot water releases the built up gunk better than cold. In fact, I have been known to boil my MF's to breathe new life into them. I have never experienced any fiber melting. These towels are a lot tougher than we are led to believe. That being said, fabric softener is still a no no.

Thanks very much Ed that's what I have always done just wanted to make sure I was doing it right. I use Micro-Restore detergent and hot water and then dry on very low heat.

I have done that too!! I thought I was crazy!! lol

I always wash my microfiber with the hot setting and have never had issues. I realize that a lot of folks advise against this, and perhaps with some brands of MF this is really a big "no no." I use the rolled edged MF from AG, Cobra products, and [I believe] Viper MF from ProperAutoCare.

I wash on warm. No issues thus far.

Hot FTW. You may get some color bleed the first wash, so washwomen beware.

You can dry on med. heat.

I usually wash on cold and dry on low heat. But now I might have to try washing on warm water..

You can wash with hot water.

I wash with hot water, MF detergent and often let them soak. I add white vinegar every so often to the rinse cycle and double rinse if that is used. I air dry mine. I have boiled them before if they really lose their softness and vinegar does not help any.
