0 BrianT Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I use BioKleen free and clear. It's a liquid, but the reason I use it is because if I use anything else on our laundry my daughter has a horrible skin reaction. I use it by default.

0 Nathan Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I use microfiber revitalizer as the only detergent, 1-2 ounces and it works great every time! Dry on low! shane@detailedreflections and BRC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 butters Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I use All Free & Clear, but it's a matter of time before I switch to microfiber revitalizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 redneck08sierra Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I use All Free & Clear, but it's a matter of time before I switch to microfiber revitalizer. i use the same for less contaminated towels as it is dye free and run an extra rinse cycle...I believe it does a good job for soiled towels I'll use MF revitalizer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 SS LeadFoot Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 So I am trying to wash my car cover, not towels. I was originally thinking whoolite. I want something I can find at a store. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 TheWolf Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 These premium detailing towels are too expensive to risk ruining them with regular laundry detergent. I would recommend only using Microfiber Revitalizer & Brightener without any other detergents. MFR&B is a strong detergent designed specifically for removing waxes, polymers, polishes, and oils commonly associated with detailing. Regular laundry detergent is not strong enough to remove many of the detailing products from towels, especially the sealants. Delicate or baby detergents are even weaker than regular detergent, so they are not going to clean out all the detailing products. While the towels may "look" clean after using regular or delicate detergent, this incomplete cleaning can lead to build-up deep in the fibers of the towel, making them less effective and eventually ruining them. While some might use other detergents to save a little money, if you buy the MFR&B in the gallon, with a sale discount, the amount of product used for one load is less than a buck, not much compared to the cost of these premium towels. rkj4243, BRC and falcaineer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rkj4243 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 IF you attempt to skimp on the proper cleaner or towel cleaning processes, you will eventually be spending more money to replace towels due to errors made on your part, and nothing to do with the quality of the Adam's towels.................... towels are one of the most IMPORTANT tools in your detailing arsenal, and should be treated as such TheWolf and falcaineer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are really under 1/2 a dollar for 2 oz but sometimes you only need one and that's under a quarter. falcaineer and TheWolf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, that's.........50 cents. Right?! "1/2 a dollar." Ha. That's just funny. What are they teaching kids these days?! P.S. Yes, I realize this is another age joke, Nathan. Sorry.

0 LT1xL82 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I use Microfiber Revitalizer and Tide liquid. Rich, what is your approach and reasoning for adding the Tide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rich Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Rich, what is your approach and reasoning for adding the Tide? I just find that my towels come cleaner with that second wash with the Tide. It could be my imagination, but I figure if there was any residue left in the towels that the Tide gets it out. Anal? Yeah, my wife tells me that all the time.

Oh, so you do a wash with Microfiber Revitalizer and then a second wash with Tide? Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
