Washing your detailing towels and applicator pads

[EPOCH]

:: Question :: 

I wanted to wash my detailing towels and some of my applicator pads. I was going to wash them in the washer separately but wasn't sure how it would effect them. Any suggestions?

I've done it in the past without issue, but anymore, I do them by hand because it does a better job getting them clean.  

 

I use Adams MF cleaner or APC.

Thanks man I was looking at that microfiber cleaner looks promising and the reviews are great.

Yep, it's good stuff!  Buy a gallon though.  You go through it quickly.

I wash my microfibers together and my towels together, but not the two of them together.  And I use the Microfiber Revitalizer and liquid detergent.  I wash them in the washing machine in hot water, cold rinse, and I dry them in the dryer on low heat..............NO fabric softener!!

I wash my microfiber towels exactly as Rich described above. To clean applicator pads, I use blue Dawn. Stuff works wonders.

Wash the microfiber in the washing machine and hang dry them/  Pads are washed by hand air dry also.

I also machine wash my Microfiber.  I spot treat with APC and use Microfiber Revitalizer & Brightener along with perfume & softener free detergent on a warm water, gentle wash, extra rinse.  I hand wash my applicator pads, with Dawn.

 

All are air-dried.

I wash my microfibers with Tide Fragrance/Dye Free and then let them air dry on a drying rack. If put them in a dryer I get lint in the microfibers. I also use hot water and sometimes an extra rinse cycle. My pads I spray some All Purpose Cleaner on them and let that soak for 5-10 minutes followed by soaking them in Dawn. I rinse well afterwards and let air dry.

Some great advice here from everyone I really appreciate the feedback!!!

For microfiber towels, I use a dedicated soap called 3D Towel Kleen. For applicator pads, I just use regular dish soap, and let it air dry.
