DP Microfiber Cleaner

Product used previously:Pinnacle Micro Rejuvinator (Very happy)

I received my DP Microfiber Cleaner months ago. I've been using it for awhile now.

Product Observations:
Manufacturer Claims: True as far as I can tell
Label: Standard DP label
Directions: Clearly printed on label
Packaging: White plastic bottle
Consistency: Liquid
Color: Aqua Blue
Scent: Detergent-ish :)
Size: 128 oz
Regular Price: 34.99
Price Per oz: $0.27

Additional sizes available:
(See link at bottom)

Method of Prep/Application:
1.- Place washer on correct size load (small for me)
2.- Set on hot and let fill
3.- While it's filling add 1-2 ounces to the water for a small load (Directions state 2-4 oz. for a full load)
4.- After water is finished filling and starts churning for a moment dump towels into washer with the assumed dirtiest items on the bottom. (A modification on a tip from Mike-Thank you!)
5.- After all cycles are complete I pull one of the towels out to sniff and squeeze.
6.- This enables me to make sure all the soap was rinsed out. If there are any suds etc. then the load definitely gets an additional rinse. Sometimes it gets an additional rinse regardless just to be safe
7.-Hang on hangers inside the house to dry (approx. 2 days). My wife loves it :)

Observations:
1.- When adding detergent to machine water it mixed quickly and seemed to be more sudsy then the Pinnacle.
2.- Upon removing towels etc. everything smells clean and is washed and rinsed out nicely.
3.- When doing polish or buff towels I use the max dose for the load size and then wash again with the min. dose.
4.- Based on what I've seen I'm happy with this product but I think I slightly prefer the Pinnacle. Keep your eyes on bogo for which MF cleaner they're selling.
5.- A slide out small mouth pouring spout could be added on this large size container but for my purposes I just fill my old 16oz Pinnacle bottle and use that to pour into my measure cup.

Pros:
1.- Fair price in line with competitors
2.- Thoroughly cleaned the towels and mitts
3.- Towels were very soft

Cons:
1.- Needs more product per wash compared to using Pinnacle

???
1.- It would seem logical that this and the Pinnacle are pretty much the same product with different coloring but the sudsing did seem different and I think the pinnacle got heavily soiled items cleaner easier.

Here is a little of the manufacturer info:


A special blend of emulsifiers, surfactants, chelating agents and water softeners deep clean microfiber to restore its texture, softness, and absorbency.
Mild water softeners in DP Microfiber Cleaner neutralize hard water to maintain the soft texture of the microfiber.
