How to clean just a few microfiber towels

[shagnat]

I need to clean 4 of 5 16x16 microfiber towels. How should I do that w/out running the washing machine?

I have Groit's Garage microfiber cleaner along with liquid Tide free/clear.

Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!!

Throw them in the wash with your other cloths if your using the tide free stuff.

Or wash them when you have more.

I don't have a great answer except to wash them by hand and wear rubber gloves as you do it.

Don't know if this will help...


How many microfiber polishing cloths do I need to detail my car?

i have about 60 microfibers and will wait until i have about 25 of them ready to be washed and just throw them in with CG Microfiber detergent.

Thanks guys. I guess waiting till I have enough for a small load sounds like a good idea. I just have a few new towels which say to wash first and guess my OCD wants all of them clean..... hard for me to let dirty towels/rags to just sit

Depending how quickly you use them, you could toss the dirty ones in a bucket with some detergent to let them Presoak. I'll usually let them sit over night, or two, in the cleaner. I normally use cold water as to not set the stains in.

When I have enough, I'll do a load. Usually a full detail for me requires about 20 towels. I keep my wax/sealant towels separate from all others, to keep from contamination between towels.

I'm also ocd, so I run the washer empty with dawn and scrub it by hand halfway through the cycle. I'll also run as much hot water in the softener reservoir to clean it. After the cycle is finished I like to wipe the machine out with vinegar. I do the same after washing my towels.

That's more than you asked, but my fingers wont stop! Haha

I stack 'em until it's time to clean 'em. But I've also found that my washing machine on the 'small load' setting is able to efficiently do just a few towels without wasting a ton of energy. (Though, of course, the most efficient way would be to wait for a full load!)

Actually all you said was very worthwhile. See, I'm not very different from you in this regard. I just didn't want to type an essay question as peeps tend to lose the original question in my ramblings

Going thru the same dilemma right now. Have about 7 towels and 2 pads sitting in bucket with cleaner. Though it's a cleaner solution I should still wring out when putting in washer with MF detergent right?

Get a dirty clothes bin that has 3 dividers. I use one and toss my dirty towels in there until I have enough for a full load. I have 3 categories: wax removal towels, compound/polish towels, and other. Got this idea from Mike Phillip's book.
