best way to clean MF towels?

**krouchchocolate** · 12-29-2006, 11:17 PM

Before recieving my MF towels i want to wash them before i use them. I have been reading old threads on what to do and so far here is what i think.

1)Wash it with hot water
2)Wash it with liquid detergent
3)Could i dry it with the dryer on low heat?

1)Wash it with hot water - that's what I use
2)Wash it with liquid detergent -I use Pinnacle Micro Rejuvenator
3)Could i dry it with the dryer on low heat - low heat or air dry.

Could i just use Tide liquid detergent instead of using the Pinnacle Rejuvenator?

before i got the pinnacle cleaner, i used woolite in the washer...don't see why tide should be too different. just don't use a lot- go easy, and no fabric softner!
dp makes a pad cleaner and there is another brand of liquid too here on AG, if you do't want to pay for pinnacle brand. the dp powder is nice! someone sent me a sample to try.

Also is it okay to mix colors?

Yah, that is the third one I was referring to. I have that in my order that is on its way, so I can't vouch for it yet. I do recall thinking the bottle had less ounces in it than I expected - it looks large on the screen.

don't mix dark and lights. like a white shmitt with a blue microfiber - otherwise it is fine. tonite i washed the dark blue, with the purple/lavendar, with orange (vroom from target...ok but not as good.)

I usually wash all of my MFs together in warm water (not hot) and use Woolite to wash it. I do perform a second rinse just to be sure. I only hang-dry, I don't put them in the dryer.

Hey Lauren, were not talking about clothes here. I don't think your car will know the different if the colors in your MF towels did run. Is the ShMitt a micro fiber product? I just received my first ScMitt's with an order I received the other day and have not had a chance to use it. I hope it's as soft as Truls said. Anyways if the ScMitt is not a micro product I read somewhere that you should not wash and dry your MF stuff with non-MF stuff.
