Washing micro fiber Q??????????????

**ProMoDe** · 01-11-2012, 08:55 AM

I wash warm or cold depending on the degree of dirty. I also get some residue at the top of the washer and on the agitator. I wipe it off with no issues. I also rotate between all free, micro restore and pinnacle micro rejuvenator.

Flannigan: You said you use hot water to wash and I've always read to use cold. Now I'm curious if I'm doing it wrong.

Everybody else: What temp do you wash in?

Warm. Heat is the mortal enemy of mf imo

HOT HOT HOT for the WATER, but only dry on low heat at most.

Hot water will do nothing to MF towels. People boil towels all the time to bring back thier softness. If anything hotter water will break up more drit and grime and get them cleaner. The only heat you have to worry about is from the dryer, not the washer.

I don't understand the logic, but whatever floats your boat. My ocd will not let me deviate from my process. Happy trails...

I'm not sure what logic you don't understand? I'm not looking to change your process if it works for you, I'm just giving the OP the best advice that I have.

That's what I do. I use Micro-Restore and pour it right in on top of the towels.

As far as leaving a residue; I usually try to time my towel washings apart enough to where it is time for our washing machine to do its self cleaning cycle. Can't always achieve that due to not having that many towels, but I figure that will keep it from being an issue.
