Problems Washing Microfibers

[hoyt66]

I use hunting detergent ( just on a whim decided to try it before I purchased the micro

fiber wash) . No scent or UV brighteners. Machine dry on low. Works like a charm.

According to an article on I just read about cleaning MF towels you should use 1/2 cup detergent and 1/2 of vinegar to wash with no fabric softener. Then machine dry low with no sheets.

OMG I may have to kill my wife. I washed and dried like 20+ MF's as well as my guzzlers a couple days ago, only to find out afterwards she had put in one of those bounty bars that stick inside the dryer.

Are my MF's ruined? or can they be saved?

Wash them again, and if that doesn't work to your satisfaction, wash them yet again, this time with extra detergent (normally you would want to use quite a bit less than the standard amountof detergent) and then a couple of cycles with no detergent to really rinse them out good. Using progressive dilution in this manner puts the detergent residue to work for you.

The above technique also works well for very heavily soiled MF towels.

Machine dry. Have for years. They will come out fluffy. I wash mine in DP MF cleaner.

As those have said, machine dry. Also use those dryer balls. Works great!

Just started doing them this way and couldn't be happier with the result!

Those dang bounty bars!! My wife put one in our dryer which meant...no drying my

hunting clothes in there. I was so glad when it wore out and she removed it

FYI. You may want to check your owner's manual for the dryer. There is a piece of metal/contact in the dryer that tells it (sensor) when the clothes are dry. If you do not clean it, it will give a false reading. Dryer Sheets and the Bounty Bars have a habit of coating the tab. I had this told to me by a dryer repair guy when we called for service on our new dryer. His suggestion was to tell the wife to use softner in the wash not in the dryer. When he finished everything worked. Since we eliminated the dryer sheets everything works again.
