    Re: Microfiber towels not rinsing clean??

    Could it be a problem with the machine? I'm obsessed at this point I'm already very particular about my paint towels like a lot of members here. I can't just keep rinsing them though I have to move on.
    Check and clean the washers drain trap. I bet it’s clogged enough to slow down the drain cycle. Then get an old bath towel and run a cycle with a cup of baking soda and 2 cups of white vinegar.

    Re: Microfiber towels not rinsing clean??

    Another vote for white vinegar in the fabric softener dispenser plus second rinse. I've been doing it that way for a while and never seem to have any issues with any soap residue. Very hard water here and I have used this method on both old (non-HE) and my new HE machine (normal cycle...haven't had to use the cycle that adds more water). I do use MicroRestore detergent though, so maybe I'm not comparing apples to apples if you use regular laundry detergent. I do add a few ounces of APC to my polishing towels and also when my regular towels are really dirty (like rinseless towels after washing a "clean" car only covered in dust and pollen).
