Pre-soaking in bucket?

[Franklin's Bee]

Hey guys, I just wanted to know if it would be safe if I could pre soak my towels with APC (like I normally do) then place them into a bucket, but my two questions are

1.is 1oz of my microfiber towel detergent safe to fill up first with then put the towels in?

2. How long should I keep them in there?

I appreciate the help!

Kind of confused on the first question, but I'll try.

 

1. 1 oz is what I use....2 oz for alot of towels or heavily soiled, and yes you can pre soak with APC, but I don't very often. I'll hit a towel every now and then if I have staining.

 

2. I pre-soak my towels 12-24 hours, then rinse them really good. Then I'll machine wash. The pre-soaking on the towels will help with stains etc, but will also remove most of the wax's, polishes, etc before it even gets to your washer. I would rather dump a nasty 5 gallon bucket out in my neighbors yard than run it through my washer:lolsmack:

Cool let me know how it works out. If you have continued staining, alot of guys use a small amount of vinegar in the rinse cycle to remove excess waxes and polishes. I haven't tried it though.

I used to presoak with MF detergent for really dirty MF towels, or after waxing to clean the MF before washing. Even if you use liquid Woolite or other non-softener detergent, I believe that the pre-soak really loosens up the spots - you can almost rub them out by hand before the hit the washer. I gently squeeze out the MF coming out of the bucket, then I give them a wash in cold, and skin temperature air for the dryer.

I've been using Woolite, after the last wash I let the Micro fiber towels soak in Woolite and cold water in the front loader for an hour and came out perfect. Then line dried in the basement until dry.

Thanks for the help guys, after I pre-soaked, rinsed, and washed with an extra rinse cycle they came out perfect than the wash before
