    Pinnacle MF cleaner Vs. Microrestore Vs. Woolite

    When I first started my collectiong of MF's I just used woolite to clean em and let them air dry. Now that I realize I have almost $100 in towels I was wondering if I should protect my investment by stepping up to a dedicated MF cleaner. Are they really worth the extra price?

    I use MicroRestore with a little vinegar every wash. I have never used Pinnacle's cleaner though; I am however going to try it. My current method seems to fluff them up pretty good while not introducing any softeners or harsh detergent, nor any dyes or scents.

    I like how you can use the pinnacle in such small increments (1 oz.) bc I usually dont clean that many towels at once. Can this be done with micro restore?

    Microrestore will also clean compound and polish off pads. Half an ounce in a~gallon of water usually works reall well.

    Todd, MF's will pick up lint from terry cloth and it's nearly impossible to get it off the MF. I wash MF's separately.

    Do not wash MF's with house towels..the MF's will collect the cotton lint on them..wash MF's by themselves...use tide free also...the bleach may run the colors plus stiffen the MF fibers...any of the laundry soaps that are perfume..softner.. bleach free.. work good...add a 1/2 cup of vinegar to the rinse and good to go...nice clean towels..

    I have only used Pinnacle, and am very safisfied with results. From what I've heard you can get very same results with Microrestore.
