    Micro Fiber Cleaners

    My Micro Fiber towels are fairly new. I wash them pretty much after every two or so uses. To wash I've used DP concentrate with ok results. My concern is that I wash them too often and that they're wearing out. Any suggestions on a product that will rejuvenate the towels and REALLY clean them? Also, what is the life span of micro fiber, pricey stuff but great and a must have.

    Thanks

    You can use DI microfiber restore or Blackfire Microfiber Cleaner They both are very good for keeping then feeling new and clean.

    I'd say if you're washing after every other useless two, you're not washing enough! You should be washing them after every time product is in them. You're being too overly concerned I've washed towels hundreds of times after they're used once, and they're all still like new!

    Also get Blackfire detergent, it's the best.
    Back to the full-time grind.

    I wash mine after every use. They all get put into a backet and then washed.

    I agree. I use Blackfire Microfiber cleaner with no issues at all. Highly recommend.

    The life of a microfiber towel is going to greatly depend on what their used for, and of course how well you care for them. For example, a MF towel thats used for rinseless washes isnt going to last nearly as long as a towed used exclusively for buffing off wax/sealants. Keeping MF towels seperate when washing will also aid in their longevity(buffing towels seperate from cleaning towels etc).

    Never reuse mine. Separate them after each use into 4 bins (use to be 3) depending on what, where, and how dirty.

    I don't however use a dedicated MF cleaner. I'll use a non bleach, non fabric softener liquid detergent mixed half and half with Woolite. Built a specialized program in my washer for them. Does a presoak, wash, extra rinse, extra spin. They come out like new every time.

    I happen to like DP Microfiber Cleaner. Especially when it's offered on a BOGO sale! I wash my towels after every use. If I feel they are extra dirty I use 2oz. instead of 1oz. They come out perfect for me!

    I usually dry them in low heat. No problems at all. Good quality towels are very durable, and can withstand more than you think. Cobra MF towels is all I use.

    I use DI Micro Restore or 3D Towel Kleen. Wash my towels after every use and dry on extra low heat.
