    Try mixing up some Dawn dish soap in a bucket and let the towels soak over night. The Dawn seems to do a good job breaking down wax and grease.

    You might be stuck with stains.

    The vinegar is moreto soften them up.

    I don't have any Dawn. So I might soak them overnight In OxyClean in hot water.

    My concern Is that the stains have hindered some of there cleaning power?

    As long as the stains arent "hard", like causing the fibers to be stiff, clumped, etc, you should be ok.

    I agree with Murr, I have stained towels as well and I check them for hard areas. I typically use my Costco bulk towels for nasty work and my Supreme Shines for paint only detail but they get dirty time to time.....

    I picked up some Dawn today so I'm going to soak my micro fibers while I'm out and see how they look tomorrow!

    i use the same stuff for cleaning clothes(without softners,of course).Leave in bucket of warm water 'till next day(even a couple of hours works fine for me.rinse well after to get all the soap out.if you live in an area with hard water,you could leave them steeping in a bucket of deminerelized water for a while,after you have rinsed them.works fine for me.
