Doug123 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I currently use Micro-Restore. I am waiting to see about the one Adams is developing. I could see more performance over what std. micro-restore gives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I use Ad Err... I guess I would recommend unless you HAVE to have it, that you wait or buy a smaller container of the Micro Restore... In the past I've used nothing more than scent/allergy free detergent on mine and have NEVER had an issue. Me thinks that'll be changing soon.

mc2hill Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Many here use Micro Restore to clean MF towels. I use always use it to clean mine. I believe Dylan is working with an Adam's version of MF cleaner. This is from AJ's write-up - http://www.adamsforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2117 This question comes up often and I always have to go search for my post on the matter. Thus, I decided to create a thread just in case someone is searching for this information. How to Wash Microfiber Towels First off, you only want to wash them in COLD water. DO NOT use a lot of soap. My towels never get very dirty or greasy because they are only used to wipe polish or wax from the car, thus I can use a gentle detergent like Woolite. You don't want to use the hash detergents like the stuff you use on your regular clothing. If your towels are a little dirtier than normal, let them soak in the washing machine overnight. Simply add the proper amount of Woolite to the washer, add the towels and fill the washer to the proper level. Use the gentle cycle to wash these towels. Allow the wash cycle to begin for 1 minute so that the Woolite has a chance to mix with the towels and then shut the washer down. Let it sit for as long as necessary (overnight if that's what you need, shorter times for towels not as bad), and then start the washer back up later. DO NOT use any fabric softener of any kind! Do not use too much Woolite! Read the bottle, a little goes a long way. If 1x is good, 2x is worse in this case. Also NEVER. EVER, EVER wash these towels with any other article of clothing, especially bath towels and wash clothes. That will ruin them too. After the wash, DO NOT DRY THEM IN A DRYER USING HIGH HEAT!!! (if you do, you may as well use them to check the oil because they are useless at that point). I don't use a dryer at all. I allow them to air dry. String up a clothes line in your garage or outside somewhere and buy some clothes pins (if you can find some, that's some old school equipment right there!). If fabric sheets are used with these towels, it will destroy them. That will cause them to start scratching the crap out of your car. Drying them in the dryer with too much heat will do the same thing, that why I tell guys never to machine dry them. If you follow these rules, your towels will keep the consistency and softness that they had from day one. If you allow your wives or girlfriends to do this, trust me, they will screw them up unless they have read this. Don't assume that they know how to do this and don't let them tell you that they know what they are doing when it comes to microfiber. They do not own, nor have they probably ever owned a piece of material like this so they will not be aware of these requirements. Test them before you hand them over and see if they get it right. I guarantee they won't. I just had a funny thought. I would love to see the look on some of your wives faces when you ask for some Woolite.

StormChaser Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I only use the above method right there. I use woolite on my MF towels and my work clothes (dressy stuff) GAIN. hahaha My work clothes are dried and my MF towels are hung up on a rack. Yea...you can see what gets more attention!!!

1anonly Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I use Dreft. It's about twice the price of Woolite, but since I have a little one I have some around. I will be using Woolite when I run out of Dreft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pm me with details http://www.amazon.com/32oz-Micro-Restore-Microfiber-Detergent-Concentrate/dp/B0002SPBXQ That's where I would buy it.
