    Is there a way to deep clean MF towels?

    I've always used a dedicated MF detergent and it seems that since I use a drying aid, I have noticed the towels aren't as absorbing as they once were. I always do a double rinse as well. Can they be soaked in something or can they be sprayed with something? It's just a fabric, so I'd guess that whatever is clogged or clinged to the fibers, it can be released. Pretty much everything we use is water soluble in the end.

    How old are your towels?

    I replace mine about every 6 months.

    Re: Is there a way to deep clean MF towels?

    It's funny, when I first started on detailing forums, a popular product was Eagle One Wax-As-U-Dry (EO WAUD). It seemed that some people had the problem that you are describing, where it fouled their drying towels, so when I used it I was careful not to use my expensive new waffle-weave drying towels, but only use it with old terry towels. That kept me from using WAUD very often, and being skeptical ever-after about drying aids and expensive towels.

    Of course now it seems that everyone uses a drying aid, and so many wash products have "wax" in them...that I'm surprised we don't hear this complaint more often. Sorry that was no help, it just never really made sense to me that you dry with a spray wax that has some longevity on your car, but washes right out of your towel? I'm sure we've all had a wax/sealant removal towel that we've washed, and then for some reason try to wet it in the sink and watch the water bead up and run off.

    I don't detail enough to replace them every 6 months. But even if I did, at the cost of these they should last longer than that I'd assume..

    That is overkill. Unless you are not taking care of them. Send me your 6 month old ones. I'll pay shipping

    Polish towels only.

    I drop them down to Tires, Rims and Tailpipe duty.

    Re: Is there a way to deep clean MF towels?

    Depending on the towels purpose, I use my detergent with hot water and do a 15 or 30 minute presoak in the machine, followed by a extra rinse. I have never had a problem. As Jeremy said ever 6 months is overkill, the bulk of my towels are a couple years old, and perform great. Plus my collection of towels (and I am sure a lot others here) is too expensive to replace every 6 months.

    I buy mine form TRC, they are eagle edgeless.. Maybe I should look into soaking them in a LONG wash. I never thought about a pre-soak.

    I have some of those towels also, they are wonderful. I can honestly say I use those towels the most!
