Re: How to wax microfiber towels?
I try not to wax my towels, but I do wash them periodically.
There are several threads devoted to this topic. Check out the following:

Re: How to wax microfiber towels?
Just make a dedicated batch, microfibers only. Add liquid detergent. ( powdered sometimes does not dissolve . The particles get trapped in the microfibers.) Dry on low heat.
Never add any type of fabric softener, liquid or a sheet.
There you go, all done.
I also have been known to pretreat the microfibers with Shout.quality creates its own demandComment

I have been washing mine with Woolite and using Vineger in the rinse. Washed by themselves and dried on low heat.Comment

Re: How to wax microfiber towels?
I've used Dawn dishsoap, as it removes wax from my car, I assumed it would remove wax from my towels.
Now I have a bottle of "free" (free of everything- scent, brighteners, softeners, etc) detergent that I use, and it seems to work a lot better than dishsoap did.
I also put some vinegar in the final rinse to rejuvinate the towels...2000 Ford Explorer XLT "Deuce"

Re: How to wax microfiber towels?
Like said, a dedicated batch, I did use liquid detergent. Tumble with no heat till dry and I used one of my Maguire Gift set boxes to put the towels in. The towels still have that nice clingy feel to them and work wonderful.Comment

Sometimes soak for a few hours in detergent then handwash + vinegar solution wash after then airdry, or toss it into the laundry when lazy with detergent then vinegar rinse.Comment
