Default Washing micro towels

Hi

For some reason my brain went dead. I'm in the middle of washing my micro towels and l forgot what l used last time. When l cleaned my calif duster l used woolite and l think l used Dawn on the micro's but l'm not sure.

I would appreciate a quick answer.

Thanks\

Alan

Mine usually aren't bad so I wash them in hot water and use non-allergenic laundry detergent and NO fabric softeners. I dry them on delicates and again NO fabric sheet in the dryer.

Some people will take them out of the dryer when they're still slightly damp to avoid static. Others add a cup if white distilled vinegar to the wash water to help reduce mineral buildup.

Hi

For the micro towels that l use for taking off the zaino l used dawn and also for the specific towel that l use for the windows l used dawn once again.
But for the micro towel for drying my vette l used woolite.

How does that sound?

I wash my microfiber towels by themselves with Tide Free (unscented and no dyes).

I then dry them by themselves with low heat and no fabric softener sheets.

Sounds ok, but Dawn really won't remove Zaino. Try using Dawn in a Zaino mixing bottle. There's still a coat of it on the plastic and that's before it's even dried. I rinse my bottles with Isopropyl.

As for the towels, if they're clean, then that's all that matters. I always use hot water on mine to make sure there isn't any residue left on them.

We offer two MF cleaners that take the guess work out of what to use, how much, and what to add. Consider Pinnacle Rejuvinator or Microrestore.
