Contaminated microfiber towels

[ngonzi]

I be leave I contaminated my drying towels with v07. They don't seem to want to pick up water rather they just push it around. What is the best way to decontaminate them? I use blackfire microfiber cleaner and restore. I do have apc. Thanks for the help.

Boil them in a pot of water on the stove for about 60 seconds then wash as usual.

You can also add white vinegar to your normal wash routine. Add two teaspoon's per towel in the fabric softener cup. you can ball park it. When the wash is done if it still smells like vinegar run it again with just water.

If you use the house washer run a large load of cold water with two cups of white vinegar this will remove any liquid fabric softener or detergent residue then wash as normal.

Do I add the vinegar with the microfiber cleaner? Or just use vinegar?

I don't know for sure, but I would say just vinegar.

When I use vinegar I do a second cycle in the washer. First cycle with microfiber cleaner.

DO they not pick up water at all, or just when they are dry? I'm saying this because all my towels work better when they are wet and wrung out. Once I get them soaked with water and wring them out, they're great for drying, you just wring them out again after ever other pass or so. When they are dry, they don't absorb water at all, just push it around like you said.

I spray mine with a spray wax and your right they seem to work better

I have some microfiber towels that are stained from who know what. If I were working on a customer's vehicle, I wouldn't use that towel at all because if the customer saw it, I'm sure they would develop a negative mindset.

If it's stained, retire it to utility purposes or throw it away. Towels are cheaper than paint or risking your reputation.
