The microfiber cloth I used to wash my car with ONR is unsurprisingly dirty. What's the best way to clean it?

No-dye, no fragrance laundry detergent

Warm/cold, sometimes hot/cold

1/2 cup vinegar for rinse cycle

No softener

So something like unscented Tide would be fine?
 
It should be liquid detergent. Liquid detergents generally rinse free of residue, moreso then powders. Certain powders don't break down well with water that isn't hot, as well, so it can be rougher on the fabric.



Don't dry your towels in the dryer, if you normally use fabric softener sheets in the dryer, as your MF towels will pick up this residue as well.
 
I use liquid Tide for sensative skin , has no dyes , perfumes , etc. Wash warm/cold. I dry them in the dryer on fluff dry, no heat..................:bigups
 
Guys, I really suggest not drying in the dryer, as most familys will use dryer fabric sheets from time to time. I know we've used them for years, and after a while, you can actually feel a light film on the inside of the dryer. I use Bounce fabric sheets, by the way. And if you have this film, then some of it will get picked up by the MF, which is no good.
 
I use green soap (oil soap) and hand wash. For very dirty towel I use tide powder (just make sure you rinse it well)
 
I need to place a big order with PakShak and saw they sold micropak MF cleaner and revitalizer I dont know how this stuff works, anybody use the pakshak MF cleaning stuff?

Grease......I have a seperate washer and dryer on the second floor of my house. It is currently only being used to wash towels...so no fabric sheets are being used , but good point if you do use fabric sheets.
