Default HOW TO WASH MICROFIBER TOWELS !! (VIDEO)

Hi guys,

This week, I discuss how to properly wash microfiber towels. Microfibers are super absorbent and great workhorses as long as we know how to take care of them. I have had the chance to discuss this topic with experts from some of the best microfiber manufacturers including The Rag Company and Microfiber Madness. I'm sure you'll learn a thing or two by watching the tutorial.

Also, feel free to share your techniques, tips and tricks below for the greater knowledge of the community.

Enjoy the video!

My MF towels come out as soft and fluffy as when they are brand new out of the package.

1. [optional] soak for a few hours any especially dirty MF towels in a bucket of water with a bit of washing detergent and equal amount of Griot's MF & Pad Cleaner. Swish them around a time or two during their soaking tiem. Rinse out most of the dirty water and soap...

2. Put MF towels into a clean front-load washer with Griot's MF cleaner and detergent. Don't use too much or it won't rinse out even with "extra" rinse selected. Run a separate rinse cycle if they didn't rinse out well.

3. Select the hottest setting (never choose cold for MF washing), and extra rinse. If well rinsed by the end of the cycle, dry on LOWEST heat setting, for 14-18 minutes on timed cycle. towels should be DAMP (u don't want to overheat in dryer).

4. finish drying on racks. Towels should be clean, fluffy (if you have great quality MF towels), and SOFT. If not you may have poor quality MF towels.

Do you wash your towels immediately after use? Would rather not run my washer and dryer for a few rags every time I wash my car. Ideally I'd like to accumulate a small load and then wash it all at once. FWIW, I don't wash the towels that I use for detailer or drying with the towels I use for cleaning the wheels and other grimey areas.
