0 Dan@Adams Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) I usually don't let my microfiber towels get overly saturated with products, so my pre-soak is just spraying down trouble spots on towels with Microfiber Revitalizer in the 16oz bottle and agitate the spots with the towel itself or my fingers, then I give each side of the towel a few more sprays before I put them into the washing machine and add the recommended 1-2oz of Microfiber Revitalizer for the wash. If you want the ultimate cleaning method, here is Dave's post on cleaning microfiber towels http://www.adamsforums.com/topic/27663-question-about-using-microfiber-revitalizer/?p=435910 Edited March 28, 2015 by psu goat Chris@Adams and Junior 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chris@Adams Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I have done both, soaked them in MR, sprayed before washing with MR or APC. If I soak them I put 1 - 2 oz. of MR. Junior 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Junior Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) Phil, I think if you hit the towels with MR or APC as a pretreat like mentioned and use the MR for the wash your towels will come out really clean. Before when i was using regular liquid detergent mine seemed to stay pink with DS or whatever else was staining them. But now I rarely pretreat any towels and just using MR gets them pretty clean. I also switched from cold to warm water in the cycle. If you are going to presoak, I think a few ounces of either will be plenty for a couple of towels in the bottom of a bucket with maybe 20-40oz of warm water.

0 Junior Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 A buddy of mine had one a while back. It was a beast. At the time, it was probably the most bang for the buck you could get from GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Team Adam's Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I keep a bucket of clean water handy, I add a couple of ounces of APC or MFRB to the mix (whichever I have handy). If a towel becomes too soiled to keep using I spot treat any stains with a few shots of MFRB, agitate, then toss in the bucket to soak until I'm done with the detail. Before I'm ready to wash them I pull each towel out, ring it out really well, then toss in the wash per the usual. Ricky Bobby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can keep that clean water bucket right there while I'm doing Rinseless Washing. Once a towel is 'shot', toss it In the bucket. Question- how long will you leave the towels soaking in that 'clean' bucket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ricky Bobby Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 As long as you want. I've left mine soaking for a few days sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
