How to clean microfiber towels the EASY way!

**ihaveacamaro** · 02-05-2013, 09:56 PM

Seeing the microfiber cleaning thread in the forum, I thought I would make this thread.

This is the easiest way I have ever cleaned microfibers:

How To Clean Microfiber Towels The Easy Way!!! - YouTube

Steps (can't believe I'm writing this out lol):

1) Put microfibers in washer
2) Put 2 oz of Blackfire Microfiber Cleaner in and wash microfibers
3) Put microfibers in dryer and run dryer

No pre-treatment or pre-soaking needed. No vinegar, no rinse cycle, no extra work, no figuring out anything. Just follow directions and that's it.

Here are the results you can obtain:

Roshan, I put 2oz of Blackfire on a small load of dirty cheap MF towels, they didnt clean out as well as this did for you. Maybe depends on brand/gsm?

For this reason I still pre-soak mine with some pad rejuvenator. That alone takes most of the stains out.

weird, were they dirty for a long time? I have had issues with stains not coming out after sitting for two weeks.

I wash my microfibers within a week of using them and have yet to really have an issue like that. Maybe that is the reason?

Hmm that is a posibility, as Im not in a rush to wash my cheap MF towels.

I think we may have discovered the root cause of your issue

As I'm sure you know, it makes sense that the longer something sits, the more it'll take to remove it...

ie tree sap that sits for years needs aggressive clay to remove, while tree sap that sits for days can be removed with waterless wash

Also, I wash my cheap and expensive MF towels together. Been doing it that way for quite a while and no problems yet

Really? I read somewhere that it wasnt recommended. My cheap MF's lint, I wouldnt want those fibers to be transfered over to my Cobras.

What cheap MF's do you use? I use the cheapest of the cheap Walmart ones for my exhaust and my interior and those don't lint... I can see why you wouldn't want to mix them if the cheap ones lint.

They are from target I believe. I guess you can say they "micro lint" if thats even a term. Very light linting on the paint to where I thought it was tiny scratches. They lint on glass as well. For glass I resorted to using my wife's paper roll owels like Bounty etc. They work fine. I downgraded my cheap MF's for door jambs, interior, other cleaning etc.
