    Washing MicroFiber Towels

    I am looking to figure out why my micro fiber towels are coming out with dirt stuck in them still and then I wash them again and sometimes it will be better and sometimes i have to pick it out. I use regular detergent and i only wash my micro fibers with my microfibers, i don't use fabric softener or dryer sheets and I am just wondering what the best way to do this might be. I don't want to be using these with dirt in them and then scratching my paint.

    Re: Washing MicroFiber Towels

    So i just bought Microfiber Cleaner after spending $20 on 12 towels. I figure i start washing them instead of tossing them when done. I would usually buy from Costco because i would get 24 towels for $14 but it seems as though they are not built like what is sold on AG and other detailing sites.

    Are you allowed to wash in your washer because my GF wont let me hahah. So my first attempt to wash will be a the cleaners.

    Re: Washing MicroFiber Towels

    I sometimes notice a piece of debris stuck in a towel after a washing. I think things just get stuck in there sometimes and a washing won't release them. Just pick it out and go about your business. I wash my towels in our washer, dry them in the dryer. No problems.

    Re: Washing MicroFiber Towels

    wash in warm water (lots of great dedicated mf cleaners available) with an extra rinse cycle, then into the dryer on the lowest heat setting with no dryer sheet. you can use some tape and/or tweezers to remove any debris that may be stuck before washing...
    i am the jump starter.

    Re: Washing MicroFiber Towels

    Does anyone else think the washers & dryers at the laundromat are of way inferior quality compared to what you've got at home? IMO the whole experience at the laundromat brings the effort down a notch..

    The washing machines don't suds the same, there's always cheap soap residue inside the dispensor, not to mention liquid fabric softener residue as well, and who knows what level of grime has been through those washers & dryers right before you toss your delicate microfibers in there [people usually take the worst of their worst to the laundromat, because it may be too greasy, oily, etc. for their own machines at home. My dad sometimes washes commercial floormatts at the laundromat]...

    The women of this world need to get over the myth of the washing machine somehow becoming dirty due to microfiber towels. It's a washing machine!

    We need to take a stand.😏

    Re: Washing MicroFiber Towels

    I use a stain release spray on my mf towels. I also wash them with my clothing only. Persil is a great detergent. My cheap mf towels are washed in this manner. My GG and Megs towels , I use either Wolfgang or Pinnacle mf liquid. We have the Samsung HE washer and dryer.
