    Microfiber Detergent

    So i was wondering if i should purchase any of the microfiber towel specific detergents that are sold on autogeek because lately ive been having some issues with getting all the dirt and stuff out of the towels and having color bleeding over from the traditional tide and vinegar method. If so, which detergent on the site is the best?

  2. Thanks Dan Tran thanked for this post

    I've used three different ones, none were the ones mentioned above, Chemical Guys was by far the best at removing stains, compounds, etc. as far as the color bleeding I don't know that any detergent will help with that.

    I use the MF detergent specifically for all MF towels. Any of the Blackfire, Pinnacle, Microfiber Dertergent IMO will work better than Tide and vinegar. It might be too strong for the MF towels. Additionally, the color bleeding might be that the water is too hot.

    I wash my MF in cold water or warm and it cleans very well. I would stick to a dedicated MF detergent for your towels.

    Re: Microfiber Detergent

    I have only used chemical guys and micro restore detergents i havent seen much of a difference in performance on both but i have heard good things about black fire if you have a towel that color bleeds i wouldnt wash them in the same load iv had a huge problem with the red chemical guys glass towel i washed with other micro fibers and they stained i thought it was from the heat but its not even in cold water it color bleeds iv been washing that towel by hand my exterior towels do not get mixed and the same for interior washing expensive towels in tide with vinegar or anything other than a dedicated microfiber detergent will most likely ruin them or give them less life expectancy i also let them air dry most of use wash them in or everyday washing machine or even at the laundry matt the truth is that all of them have traces of fabric softeners or detergents geared towards our clothes and that will make a difference in the way the towel works and feels the same goes for the dryer especially if fabric softener sheets are used or thrown in when drying regular clothes there for i let my towels air dry it seems like my towels get better care than my clothes lol

    I was using WG microfiber detergent but have made the switch to BF with better results. I'll be sticking with BF until something better comes out.

    +1 for Chemical Guys. Griots Garage didn't impress me much.

    What kind of Tide are you using?
