I need to clean my microfiber, weave, and terry towels. Can they all be washed together?
What detergent product do you recommend for washing towels?

IMO NO

Separate the Micro Fiber Towels to a dedicated wash. As for detergent I use standard detergent like Tide or equivalent. No Bleach and no fabric softener when drying.

keep mf separate. 3D for mf wash.

Don’t wash cotton terry towels with microfiber. You’ll wind up getting lint in the microfiber and good luck ever getting it all out.

i've done it, but you shouldn't. recommend a dye free/scent free detergent like tide free and clear. I wash on hot, dry on low. i bought some wolfgang 2 for 20 last week but haven't used it yet. i have a problem spending money on this site :(

I've been using Tide Free and Clear for my MF towes for years now. Never a problem.

Also, I'll add in to seperate MF and NON MF to seperate loads.

Always wash your dirtier MF towels separate from your good MF polishing towels. A lot of people accumulate misc. mf towels some good ones , some not so good and eventually you might start using mf towels on tires and wheels, I buff a lot of aluminum and I use mf to final polish my aluminum/stainless trim and that gets really dirty. Sometimes my waffle weave drying towels get a little mud or oil on them so they get washed wit the secondary mf wash load. Some folks from time to time will put a 1/2 a cup or so of white vinegar in the towels to help soften them up.
