Washing microfiber towels
Is it necessary to buy those products that cleans them or can I just use regular laundry detergent?

Re: Washing microfiber towels
For what i know it is BEST to use the products or just plain water as the laundry detergent has chemicals which will make the microfiber rough and it will not absorb fluids. If the towel is too dirty its best to dispose of it and get new towels..
I do know for a fact that you should never use a fabric softener when drying in the dryer.

Regular detergent will not bring the towels back to "new" each time as the MF cleaner does. Most detergents will ruin a microfiber towel, Best to stick with a dedicated MF cleaner since MF towels are an investment. Protect your investment. My .02

Re: Washing microfiber towels
To answer your question yes it is worth it.
I too was hesitant and used all clear and APC to wash my towels up until last spring.
When I switched to a dedicated Microfiber wash I noticed my towels are softer, absorbent as day 1, and towels are alot cleaner.
I think I have tried all the MF cleaners on the market and have to give it to Blackfire for making the best MF cleaner. OP give it a try, its on BOGO and you can save the Tide to wash cloth .

lol no i am not buying them on AG, and no i will not send my dirty towels to you. What i mean is such as after wiping down a dirty engine bay or door jams on a vehicle that has never had it done, i personally prefer to throw those out instead of cleaning/reusing.

I also have had excellent results with Blackfire.

Plus a dedicated microfiber wash will generally rinse cleaner, reducing the chance of leftover residue.
