That should be fine. I do do that sometimes and use whatever MF Wash I’m currently using.

Was in a old Griots video but the said MF detergents are there to remove waxes, sealants and polishes and the F&C gets the dirt and grime.
Also I think washing on hot has gotten more gunk out of them to keep them running

I have only recently started washing microfiber in warm water rather than cold, seems to be working well. The switch to Rags to Riches was done a lot of good work too, reviving older towels and prolonging the life of others.

Everything I’ve read has led me to believe washing in hot will not hurt towels. The water does not get hot enough.
Also the fact I’ve been washing my towels in hot myself for over 2 years.
If you get a few old DIRTY towels and some that are hydrophobic try this.
Wash on hot rinse cold. Second rinse. 70% R2R 30% F&C detergent. White vinegar in fabric softener spot.
Dry 15 min on low and let towel hang dry for rest.

I use warm as well. Cold water temperature varies a lot more from winter to summer around here.

IME they do, but only when using them with drying aids. If I were to use them by themselves, you can clearly tell the difference as they’re simply not capable of performing like they once did.
I just finished my gallon of Rags2Riches and won’t be re upping it. I’m going to try using Tide Free & Clear which I’ve been using for clothes recently. [I’m on my 2nd jug] The only thing that kinda turns me off is how little suds it seems to produce as I’m sort of a suds lover. If I wind up not liking the Tide I’ll go back to 3D Towel Kleen. I wasn’t too impressed with R2R + the scent wasn’t very good.

You mean if you were to use the towels by themselves you can tell they degrade?
And good to know about r2r, never have tried it.
