Anyone use MF detergent and an HE washer to wash their towels?
HE washers work in a completely different way. Add the detergent first, then run the cycle? It seems as thought the MF detergent is too thin and will be lost in the holes in the washer??

Yes. The MF detergent is low sudsing. I also add a cup of white vinegar to the wash as well

You can always add it with some water. I usually use 1 oz of MF wash and fill up with water in the 3 oz cup and pour it in.

wow on this appearing in FB feed that teeters on the line of absolutely ADD ridiculousness. Wash the towels with soap and stop focusing so hard on granules of detergent and the catastrophic effects on microfiber integrity. Dry them, move on.

Whoa, whoa, slow down kid! I like using MF detergent and I feel the viscosity of it might be too thin to use with an HE washer to be effective. If I used regular laundry detergent with an HE washer, or, the MF cleaner with a traditional washer, this wouldn't be an issue. I might have to resort to one of these, but I was just curious. Relax!

I'm sorry, just saw a large chunk of AGO threads flood my feed (ongoing irritant), and was like why are people over analyzing about detergents? The last OCD one I saw a few weeks ago was a poor soul worried over rinse bucket liquid levels. LOL As for MF towels, I just wash mine in an HE washer with HE Tide and I'm done. Sometimes twice if they still feel a bit waxy. They come out just fine.

Have used MF detergent with and without vinegar, works like a charm in my HE washer.
I dry the MF's in the dryer low heat, no dryer sheets.

No worries. I'm just trying to figure out if using MF detergent is effective in an HE washer. Nothing more, nothing less. To me, it seems like the lack of sudsing with MF detergent wouldn't be "activated" in an HE washer. The thicker traditional detergents(tide, etc..) would make a lot more sense. I'm going to pick up some ALL Free & Clear and be done with it.

Re: Anyone use MF detergent and an HE washer to wash their towels?
Yep. I do.
I have a front load Kenmore High Efficiency washer and wash my MF with Micro restore.
Micro-Restore doesn’t just clean microfiber, it restores microfiber!
And I use about half the recommended quantity.
But I always wash wax covered MF separately from all the other MF towels. And I do use a full cap then.
