1. MF's: wash separately using Micro-Restore or one of the other brands of detergent made for MF’s. Use two rinse cycles, no bleach or fabric softner. **

2. Rags/towels: wash with a good liquid detergent, my bottle of Micro-Restore says it’s good for towels and chamois too.**



**If rags/MF's are very dirty or caked with product you can soak them in a bucket first (do the MF's separately) then rinse before loading them in the washer.



3. Foam/cotton pads: soak in a bucket of dawn, when clean rinse well and let dry



4. Chamois: what’s a chamois? Is that the hard piece of leather old timers used to dry a car with? (just kidding). It’s been so long since I used a chamois I couldn’t begin to tell you. First the absorber, then MF’s, and now WW MF’s have been my drying tools for years.

When washing cloths that you've used for polishing and waxing, it's a good idea to add some white vinegar during the wash process. The white vinegar will help cut thru and release the polish and wax from the cloths.
