    Washing my microfibers and wash mitts

    When washing these in the washing machine would it be better to use laundry detergent or a dish detergent like dawn or ajax?

    Holy cow don't use dish detergent in your washer, you'll have a foam explosion. If you want to use something other than laundry detergent, or want to supplement it, you can use some Simple Green or other APC (again some possibility of foaming issues depending on the APC or the amount). Or you can use a dedicated MF wash.

    Any brand Free & Clear Laundry Liqued Detergent. Using dishsoap in new washer, could void your warranty also. Brands of soap. Tide, Arnolds Soap, Store Free & Clear Brands. Remember to use the vinegar rinse in final rinse.
