Best way to clean Microfibers???

**OIF Vet** · 10-11-2007, 09:21 AM

I just ordered some Poor Boys APC and I have some microfiber rejuvenator that a friend gave me and I'm curious to see what is the best way to wash my microfibers. Since I spent a lot of money on my towels, I don't want to mess them up. When I get my APC do I just use that in the washing machine or do I add a laundry detergent with that? If so, what is a good detergent to use? I know that I only wash microfibers with microfibers. Do I wash them on hot or cold? How do I try them. In the dryer or hang them up? If I dry them in the dryer, what is the best setting for drying? Any information that you have would be great. Thanks.

The search feature is your friend ... this is talked about a lot on this forum...

Some tips though-
-You can soak very dirty towels in water & APC mix ahead of time
-You can add a few oz of ATC or Oxyclean in the washing machine
-Wash in hot water
-Let soak if possible
-Any detergent w/out fabric softener or scent would be best
-Dry in dryer for a few minutes and then let air dry

Ditto. Done to death in many posts.

Buy a bottle of microrestore, keep mf towels segregated from laundry at all times, and kiss wife after doing the laundry (and towels) for you !

I use micro restore with hot water and setting the agitator on delicate. Sometimes I let it soak in the washer first. This process is for my paint MFs only. I dry them in the dryer on low for 90 minutes if the Guzzler is in it as well, then I hang dry them and leave over night. For grunge towels (wheels, door jams, etc), I use a bucket for this with micro restore. I leave them over night, then I empty the bucket, put fresh water, and put the towels in the fresh water to rinse out the micro restore solution. I then hang dry these so I won't contaminate the dryer.

I wash my MF towels by hand with neutral soap and they are always like new.

Happens to me with terry cloths on tires. I wipe the drum with paper towels afterwards.
