I like Blackfire microfiber cleaner over Micro Restore and DP microfiber cleaners. It seems to work best for me with my water, amount I use, washer, and not needed to use vinegar.. second rinse is sufficient. I always dry on lowest heat setting and that is important as well on feeling soft.
I still have a lot of Blackfire left but do want to try the Wolfgang.
I now tend to presoak very dirty towels in DP's Pad Rejunivator before washing. And I toss out any towels used with a coating (it seems to block their ability to soak up anything). I then use a dedicated MF towel wash and white vinegar in the rinse.
If I see static or some linting, I toss in a couple of those dryer balls when drying.
Regardless of what you use sometimes MF towels get stained and that's that. You can reduce the stains by soaking towels in a bucket with two scoops of Oxyclean and about 2-3 gallons of water for 24 hours. For wash I prefer Charlie's Soap (liquid).
Once towels get badly stained there will not be much you can do about it. Best bet is to soak them immediately after use if they Are really dirty. I like to have a 5 gallon bucket with an ounce or two of microfiber cleaner and a little vinegar to soak them in until I get enough to wash a load.
For dirty towels that are already heavily stained do heavy pressure soak with 3-4 oz of microfiber cleaner, a cup of vinegar, and hot water to begin with. After 6+ hours wash as usual.
I would lean away from very hot water when cleaning with any type of microfiber. My process for very dirty microfibers is to spray them with a diluted ratio of bf micro cleaner out of a pray bottle directly onto the microfiber and gently rub the fibers together to release Some of the contaminates. Then I drop them in a bucket of pad rejuvenator to marinate for a couple of hours before proceeding to my washing machine. I always use my air fluff mode on my dryer. I'm very anal when it comes to taking care of my microfibers to last the longest they possible can. They aren't cheap. I am sure everybody has got there own method that may works for them. I am justifying my method of cleaning because I have had great results.
