What detergent do you use for your microfiber?

[EPHIOS]

I was wondering what everyone use to wash their microfiber towels? I am currently using Purex Free & Clear (NO dyes or NO scents) liquid detergent. I have used it twice already and it works great. It's alot cheaper than Tide, but cleans good enough to remove dirt and grime from my mf towels.

Liquid detergent (very little is needed as they are very concentrated these days) in warm water (I use tide) with some vinegar added to the last rinse cycle and will do an additional rinse if needed (look at the water when it's on it's rinse cycle to make sure there isn't any soapy water). Then into the dryer on the lowest heat setting with no fabric softener/dryer sheet.

Won't using vinegar damage the fibers to the towel? I do the same thing, I always put it on the lowest heat setting and always NO softener/dryer sheet.

Not in my experience, it helps release any residual detergent. Give it a try and see for yourself.

I use Tide Free but I'd agree with you... what you are using is probably the same thing... just without the expense of plastering all over a NASCAR vehicle.

The vinegar should be washed away during the rinse cycle but some people run it through twice.

Can APC be used?

Tide w/Bleach Alternative and a pinch of vinegar occasionally.

I also like Griot's.

I'm still using my Micro Restore bottle. Works pretty well and its good to use if I want to soak my pads too

I switched from Woolite to microfiber washes (DP, Chem Guys) last year. I think the dedicated mf washes rinse better than the thicker consistency traditional detergents. I only use 3 to 4 ounces per load.

All free and clear. Occasionally I use a vinegar rinse.

I've begun using Pinnacle Microfiber Rejuvenator detergent as it was a freebie in one of the AG orders I recently made (they even threw in a sample bottle of Griot's spray wax!). So far, I like it a lot.
