Micro Fiber towels

[GK Auto Spa]

What solution you guys use to wash your micro fiber towels? ...& where?(you home washer/dryer or the local laundromat)

I use the Pinnacle Micro-Restore with my home washing machine. Thinking of switching over to the DP microfiber detergent since it's a little cheaper.

I, along with many others, have found no need for specific MF detergents or cleaners. Here's what I use and it works wonderfully.

Use liquid detergent. Use 1/2 what is recommended for the size load. Wash in hot water. During rinse cycle, add 1 cup white distilled vinegar. Dry on low to reduce static buildup.

I use the DP and wash them at home, just by themselves and I also wash the drying M/f's separate. If I'm out doing a car at a friends I will take along a 5 gallon bucket, fill it with water and an ounce of DP and toss my dirty M/F's in the bucket as I go along. Throw a lid on it when done and haul them home.

I use the DP detergent in my home washing machine. I wash on delicate cycle with warm water. I then wring out any excess water after the wash cycle and let them hang dry on my wife's laundry rack. No dryer for me.

+1 on the Vinegar technique. Works great! Gets even older MFs feeling how they should again.

If nothing else, give it a shot before dishing out the money for MF specific detergent

I also use DP MF cleaner, and vinegar in the rinse if I feel it's necessary.

I can't use vinegar..........the smell of it sickens me.

OK question guys, I have a High Efficiency front loading washer ( The kind that cuts your hand off if you try and open it during the entire wash ). No, Just kidding, but it does lock the door because it's a front washer. I can't add vinegar during a wash.

Does anyone know if it's ok to use Pinnacle-Micro restore or DP detergent in a High Efficiency machine?
From what I've gathered HE just means less water....much appreciated!

Can't you set the wash cycle to not do the extra rinse, at end of cycle add the vinegar, then set the extra rinse?

Also means less agitation, giving the reason for the HE specific (low foaming) detergents that have to rinse clean easily. I think they are pretty similar to MF detergents so you should be fine, but I'm not a HE washer technician, so take that as you will.
