clg82 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Hello everyone I have a quick question. My wife noticed a couple of months ago after I had washed some double soft towels as well as waterless wash towels that the next load she did came out with what appeared to be blotches or stains that looked to be of chemicals on some of our clothes. I brushed it off as maybe there was something else in there that caused it....flash to today and the same thing happened. Washed some waterless wash towels. A couple of days later the wifey washed some more clothes and some new clothes ended up getting some kind of chemical stains on a few of her shirts....are these towels not supposed to be washed in the washer? I hadn't read anything like that before....thanks for any help~Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sahls01gmc Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Interesting. I have not noticed anything like that on my end. Just to put it out there, what "chemicals" were on your towels that you washed? I'm almost thinking that maybe some of the items you removed from the car (road grime, bug guts, interior "grease", etc...) could have caused this.

Nothing out of the ordinary, the first wash with the double soft was just some Americana paste wax....and some waterless wash towels with some light dust on them....same with the second load.....just a few waterless wash towels with just some dust removed from the car.

clg82 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 The spots are almost like the color of the detail spray...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwhite0960 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I have not had any issues with waterless, Rinsless, and many other chemicals that i wash. Are you using the microfiber cleaner or regular laundry detergent, not sure if that would matter but I use a dedicated microfiber detergent. Try running a empty load with some vinegar through the washer, it will help with cleaning it anyways and you can score wife points there lol clg82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwhite0960 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Your microfibers will come out much more plush feeling as well with the dedicated cleaner and they last longer in my experience. I have obviously learned my lesson in life before lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakerodz7 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I like Dan also use dedicated MF cleaner and have not had any issues with there being stains on clothes, even clothes that were washed right after the MF towel load was done. And this has been true with washing basically everything off the towels (Detail Spray, G&G, paste wax, buttery wax, LPS, etc etc.) Give the vinegar a shot and maybe switch over to a dedicated cleaner and hopefully that alleviates the situation. clg82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 12 years of using Adam's and never had any products stain anything. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Bobby Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Do you have one of those stupid washing machines that do a full load with like 1 gallon of water to save the planet. That may be the issue. You may need a second rinse on those newer machines to be sure the machine has all the wash residue out from the towels being cleaned.

gabhart Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I've had H2O G&G and Detail Spray stain microfibers directly but it's never transferred over to any clothing. I use dedicated microfiber cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marquez93 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Quick Sealant has stained the towels I use it with before. But still never anything else in the next load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
