Microfiber Detergent is it really necessary?

[Eldorado2k]

I've started using 3D Towel Kleen after seeing it recommended a number of times on here. For $20 per gallon, it's a decent value. Seems to do a good job cleaning the towels, but I can't say I see a difference over the free & clear laundry detergent I was using previously.

However, it's a multi-purpose product. Diluted at 4:1 it can be used as a pad cleaner, so I use it to pre-soak, then wash my pads as well.

Just to clarify, when you say you're using it as a pre soak, you mean you're spraying it out of a spray bottle onto the pads right?

Because if you're using it as a bucket pre soak that would mean you'd be using 77oz. of Towel Kleen diluted into a 3 gallon bucket, which would be the biggest waste of product ever. Lol. [I know you aren't doing that]

The thread was about washing towels, not pads.

This thread is about microfiber detergent.

I've been using the chemical guys stuff it's pretty good. It's just liquid but it foams up really well. 128oz for 20 bucks and u only need 1-2 ounces per load

+1, been happy with the Chemical Guys Microfiber Wash.

When I started I used All Free and Clear, good results really can't say anything bad about it. Some time ago I got a 16oz bottle of Poorboy's World Typhoon Microfiber Cleaner, great stuff. I am working on a gallon now, I feel it does make a difference in the way the towel feels.

I also have been using Chemical Guys microfiber wash and pad cleaner for years. My towels are always soft and plush and never lint. I'm sure there are plenty of stuff that will get the job done but I love what I'm using.

I also own 4 Optimum big red sponges and use the microfiber cleaner to get them clean too. Good stuff

I use CG MF wash and it's good. Tried Poorboys MF Cleaner and felt the towels didn't come out as soft.

I don't really notice a difference, but then again I've never done actual testing. I find the price per wash for regular liquid Tide is comparable to my wholesale price of Micro Restore, so I just use the Micro Restore because I know it's free of things I don't want in my soap, Like Bunky mentioned above.
