MF towel segregation for laundry
I知 about to do my first load of MF towels and I知 wondering how I should separate them. I know I need to keep the glass ones separate from the rest, but are there any others that I should separate from the larger load?
For example, should the interior towels go in with the wax buffers and polish removal towels?
Thanks.

Re: MF towel segregation for laundry
Is that really something people do? Professionals? I've been working since 7:30 and I just walked in the house. I have three full exterior details tomorrow. The last thing I want to do is a bunch of different loads of laundry.

two different loads. one with the good paint towels and so forth, and the other that are used for wheels, engine, interior, etc. wash in warm water with an extra rinse cycle and then dry them (clean the lint trap first) on the lowest heat setting with no dryer sheet...

I might be in my own camp, but I separate my wax/polish towels from my drying towels. Two separate loads.
Also, I do my wheel/wheel well and dirty job towels separately.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

If the towels are brand new make sure that you separate colors. Some of my white waffle weave glass towels are now an off white, blueish, grayish, greenish, yellow.

This. My towels that touch exterior paint are separate and are washed with Woolite or copy and as Visitor said, dried on LOWEST heat setting.
Glass towels (waffle weave only) separate, again with Woolite/copy with minimal amount, extra rinse, drying at regular temps.
Lastly, all remaining mf towels, regular detergent, regular drying temp.

I do mine in batches and have tons of them so I don't have to do small loads. I just washed up about 75 of the Rinseless ones and a batch of about 50 thinner cheaper ones I use for door jams, interiors, etc.
My process is that as I use them they get tossed into one of two buckets to soak. Dirty lower end ones for doors/wheels get soaked in an APC Solution. The rest go in with 3D Towel Kleen. Then at night I'll rinse them out to remove the gunk and wring them out and hang-dry so they can then get tossed in a laundry tub once dry.

Buffing polishing towels Light colored
buffing polishing towels dark colored
Wash mitts and drying towels
All purpose towels
Tire and trim filthy towels
Coating removal/buffing towels
^^ Before anyone starts complaining, you don't have to do this if you don't want to, If you have all cheap towels or you don't care about them changing color, cross contaminating, or generally don't care about doing things right..^^
If you don't do these things that's good for you but any place that sells microfiber tells you to follow these basic instructions
Always wash new microfiber towels before first use
Also tumble dry low or air dry never use bleach or fabric softeners

Isn't woolite a fabric softener or has 1 built in?
