Differences between the house-brand Microfiber Cleaners

[mavin]

DP, Blackfire and Pinnacle all have microfiber cleaning products. Is one considered better than the others? Major differences?

Thanks!

BlackFire is the best. DP is pretty close.

I've never tried anything else but micro-restore . so I can't comment on how well one works from the other . but micro-restore list 1oz for 1/2 load, 2oz for full load , get 32 oz for $15 . bf says 2oz for 1/2 load , 4oz for full load , u get 16oz for $15 . do the math . like I said I can't comment on effectiveness of any other mf cleaners , I use micro-restore . maybe those who use bf mf cleaner are not using it at 2oz - 4oz ? and still cleans well ?

Thanks. Someone referred to these cleaners as "snake oil" in another thread. Maybe Ill just try tide for now :P

I've never really understood what a proper "Load" is. I had a handful of MF towels to wash (10-15). Most were fairly plush and a coupler were larger waffle weave towels. When I threw them in the wash, I looked and said "that does not look like a half load. So I decided to add 1oz of Blackfire MF cleaner instead of 2oz. I put it where I normally would put detergent. I ran it on a delicate hand wash cycle.

The towels were all "clean" but the stains remained. The glass towels still had the black from bumping the window trims, and the ones I had used when polishing some single stage paints still had the paint color embedded in them. They did not look clean at all, but the dirt was gone, I could not smell compound or other products and they did feel better than new again after running them on low heat in the dryer.

Now I am not sure if the washer style matters. Like many people who have purchased in recent years, I have a high effeciency front load washer. (Whirlpool to be specific).

Should I be selecting a different wash cycle? Using more product? Using a different product or is it just normal for the stains to be there?

Not trying to derail, just kind of a review on my experiences and a question since were on the topic of MF cleaners anyways.

You owe it to yourself to get a sample (recommend Blackfire) to try to decide for yourself. Many like the microfiber specific detergents so it is not just snake oil.

There's no question that Tide works. I just like having a seperate Microfiber wash that I know was designed for microfibers. Makes life's annoying chores just a little bit easier (actually a lot). Don't have to deal with vinegar rinse cycles either.

I have a video on Blackfire Microfiber Cleaner. If you aren't convinced after watching that, I don't think you ever will be.

Exactly what I keep hearing (Blackfire #1 and DP close second). I have only tried BF and MicroRestore and Blackfire rinses so much cleaner. I love the stuff, just bought a half gallon.
