cleaning microfibre towels

[Adam R]

how do you guys maintain your microfibre towels ?
it says on the labels of mine that it requires a 90 f wash and no bleach or softeners.....
i dont want to use 90f water and dont know what cleaning agent to use..can you shed any light on my situation... thanks

I wash them at a low temperature with non-biological liquid and then let them dry naturally. Does the job perfectly!

i have found that my microfibre towels have got a few patches of dirt on them, i have scrubbed at them and cant remove them....

not sure what to do as i paid £12 for them

I wash mine on a 60 wash & then a pre wash rinse after to get any left overs out (possibly not needed, but done)

I use just washing liquid, NEVER softner as this will cause the cloths to streak.

You can get some additives which "rejuvanate" the cloths

I go to Tesco and buy some new ones

88p each... bargain

Even if I use 3 or 4 when cleaning the car, it still works out nice and cheap.

Tesco value, mmmm

They Nylon stitching around the edges, not Cotton, which will in the end cause, or add to your swirls collection.


Would you use cheap engine oil

i suppose with such cheap microfiber towels you could just cut off the nylon stitching ???

But when folded they are fine. And at 88p a go, I can afford to use a bunch of them each time I clean the car. Did the other halves Puma Millennium yesterday and used 6 in total with great results
