Re: micro towels
Are you serious?
You will get so many different opinions, you won't be able to decide for a week.
IMO, any good liquid laundry soap will do an adequate job. Hot water, no fabric softeners, dry in dryer with no dryer sheets.
Mine are washed with Micro-Restore in hot water, run through a second rinse with vinegar added to the second rinse. The vinegar is said to help remove any detergent residue. I then dry them in the dryer like my other clothing.
I don't know that the Micro-Restore does a better job, but it makes me feel better about the process. Same thing with the vinegar rinse. I can't say I ever had any problems when I used whatever laundry soap my wife was using.

Use your laundry detergent but no fabric softner!

Re: micro towels
I disagree with Meghan - I like using a true MF cleaner that will release wax residue, QD residue and other standard car residue.
I use a product similar to the DP wash found on the MICRO FIBER page on the AG site and have much better results. Most clothing detergents now have stain repellers and that are negated by bleach if you are doing a white wash. This extra level of chemical is not in the MF cleaners. If you are using HE detergents in your wash those are even worse for MF towels.

Re: micro towels
I use "Micro-Restore", but in a pinch will use Woolite. It does a pretty good job.

Re: micro towels
Wax and sealant removal MF's should be treated first to remove wax residue. Glass WW should also be separated from general cleaning MF's.
