    Re: Drying MF towels your thoughts??

    I put my towels into a bucket with water and microfiber detergent to pre soak when I finish with the towel. That way if I have heavy soiling in any towel it will soak and not set a stain in the towel. The only exception is wheel towels and towels I use for applying polymers which repel water. These are placed in boxes until I wash then all in separate loads as not to contaminate my good towels. I also wash one color at a time.

    Wheel towels - Orange
    Interior towels - yellow
    Paint towels - Green rolled edge
    Engine compartment - Terrycloth towels (also use for cleaning my DA pad on the fly).

    Easy to keep straight and not cross use a towel.

    Hope this helps.

    Great idea, I've been using a 4' high shoe rack that my wife broke, same idea as the drying rack.

    Re: Drying MF towels your thoughts??

    I'm just a small timer, so I don't have enough towels to set aside until I have a full load. This may be a bannable offense on this forum, but I wash all of my microfiber towels together. Yep, rinseless MF towels, drying MF towels, polishing MF towels, wax MF towels, sealant MF towels, glass cleaning MF towels; they all go into the wash, together. I do separately wash wheel and door jamb towels, separately. I spent a whole lot of money on the washer/dryer combo that I have, so I trust that they won't cross-contaminate anything and will do what they're made to do; clean!

    A shoe rack as a drying rack. Never thought about that. Pretty good idea!

    I do pretty much the same thing. Small timer as well. Only difference are the really grungy towels which get a thorough hand washing first THEN placed together with the other towels.
