Microfiber Cleaner... what do you use?

I use Woolite, which also isn't cheap, but it's available locally and works great. My MF products are still very soft and absorbent.
 
Just plain Tide. I have a bottle of Micro-Restore that I used once. It worked well but I keep forgetting to use it. Not much comparison to Tide.
 
I use a liquid detergent (tide or the like) and add a small amount (1/2 cup) of vinegar to the final rinse. Works real well for my PakShak towels.

zimmerDN, I bought a similar product, Micro-Restore from Ian over a Autofiber.com. It works quite well. Since that purchase I was also guided to Charlie's Soap by Bretfraz, using it for my normal laundry as well as MF towels. It also works very well. Before either of those, I used liquid Purex.



I agree with the vinegar in the rinse water. I use that on the majority of my laundry, MF or not. Sometimes a second rinse for your MF products is worthwhile. You can always check your final rinse water to tell if the second rinse is necessary.
 
Mr. Clean- Heh heh, this time *you* beat *me* to one of our "what he said" posts :D



Yeah, the MicroRestore works great. Far better than Tide/Cheer/Purex in my experience.

I beat you to the keyboard?!?! Simply amazing :D Glad to know I'm on the "right " page. :up
 
Has anyone used the Pinnacle Micro Rejuvenator, and also used Micro Restore? If so, how do these compare? Like Accumulator, I like Micro Restore ... but I got a good deal on some of Pinnacle's stuff. Does it work as well as Micro Restore?
 
Woolite every time for me. I tried a couple of MF cleaners and couldn't see a major improvement



I usually clean them at 40 or 60 degrees on normal cycle and spin @ 1500, then add some white vinegar on the conditioner cycle, rinse twice more then air dry.



I've notched up to 90 degrees recently for some dirtier towels and they came out fluffier and softer than ever.



Oh, and I rinse the machine through with white vinegar before washing towels to ensure any soap/conditioner is flushed out before my towels go in - my GF thinks I put more into cleaning MF's than clothes - she's probably right :D
 
Why is it everyone thinks their towels are so fragile they need such special care? Look, it's just fabric like anything else... wash in hot water with liquid detergent (no additives or softeners or bleach) believe me when I say that NO household water is so hot as to destroy a towel. Hell, you can boil them without damage! Did you know that when fabric is dyed it is done in a huge pressure cooker under high heat and pressure?

Then dry in a cool/warm dryer (polyester) or hot dryer (cottons.) Simple! And I really would like someone to show me how some of these expensive detergents "know" the difference between MF yarns and regular size yarns.
 
The above post is why I use "All Free" for my towels. It's cheap and comes in large 300 oz. quantity for less than $10 bucks.
