I use MF towles to remove wax but they get lodged with the left over wax, how can I clean them?



Is it ok to use them again after soap and water cleaning even if they are still stained with wax fro the previous waxing weeks earlier?



I used a foam pad to apply the bwax -- how do I properly clean that?
 
For the MFs, I use Tide Free Liquid in warm water. Then Permanent Press cycle for drying, which is low temp or air dry. For MF apps or foam apps I wash in warm water and air dry.
 
For foam pads, I just rinse them out with water good. Sometimes I throw them in together with MF's and some Woolite into the washer, and set it to gentle/handwash.
 
Delicate Cycle with Warm Water for wash and use Woolite, For rinse I use Warm water with some Distilled White Vinegar and my washing machine has an extra rinse so I use that. Throw it in the dryer at setting "Air Fluff" for an hour and they come out amazing.
 
Pinnacle make a detergent specifically for microfibre cloths called Micro Rejuvenator. I've been using it & have found it really good at getting all the waxs, stains etc out & makes them feel even softer & fluffier then they did before.
 
I put a scoop of Oxy Clean in the washer, fill it with warm water, and let it agitate *before* adding the MF to allow the granules to dissolve. Then I use Tide or Woolite with a touch of Dawn and run it on Heavy Duty Cycle with two rinse cycles. I notice that the Tide - Dawn combo cuts the grease/wax/dirt better than Woolite.



Then I dry on low; Permanent Press is a little too hot on my machine, and besides, I'm in no hurry at that point. NO FABRIC SOFTNER!
 
I air-dry the critters inside the abode. They dry out in a day or so. Maybe your dryer is more efficient than mine in evacuating lint etc. but my dryer leaves behind a wee bit of lint I know the MF towells will grab and hold.
 
I like to use Tide original for my MF towels, set on regular cleaning cycle with warm water. I dry it using medium heat.



I just throw out my foam applicators after use, those yellow foam discs, .50 each from TOL.
