    Washing towels used with Purple Power Vehicle wash..

    I used purple power vehicle and boat pressure washer concentrate (at the directed 6 oz per gallon) and used it for a contact wash. Which I don't really recommend. I didn't notice any difference on my car between it and optimum car wash exept it faded some plastic trim (or more accurately, it probably removed some old dressing from the trim).
    But I just checked on my towels in the washer and found this! And this is after I sprayed each towel individually with hot water from my shower head until they ran clear. This is gonna take forever to wash all the soap out. I'll never do a contact wash again with the purple power!

    Haha Samsung needs to start work on a foam gun!

    The purple power wash produced way less foam in my garden hose foam gun than optimum car wash but obviously way more in the washing machine which is interesting.

    Re: Washing towels used with Purple Power Vehicle wash..

    I dealt with a similar issue a couple months ago, first time washing mitts in a HE washer. I used 1oz of Poorboys MF detergent and had a similar reaction. What setting did you run your washer on? I had mine on heavy with an extra rinse. I called my girlfriends father, he has owned Laundromats for 30+ years, he is very hands on and repairs his own machines. We came to the conclusion that the added weight of the wet towels/mitts makes the machine think it has a much larger load than what is actually in there, and pumps more (then needed) water in.

    Now I just put the wet mitts in and run a spin only cycle to suck any remnants of soap out of the mitts, takes 8 minutes. Then proceed to run a normal wash cycle with the extra rinse, and they come out perfect. I too have Samsung.
