Lucky for me my wife won't let me near the washer/dryer, so I tell her how to do it. Just soap only, no fab softener or dryer sheets. Throw them in the basket dirty, get them back clean!

I will say, though, I'm still searching for a detergent that will get some of the stains out of my towels. I've used Blackfire's cleaner but still have residual stains. Maybe I need to use more than 2 ounces? Tide doesn't do it either, guess I'll give Purex a try.

If you have deep stains that have discolored the fibers, chances are your not going to get them out, especially if your towels are dried in the dryer. The heat will set the stain in. I haven't used any soap, regardless of cost, that will remove set in stains. Here is the best method I have found to remove them. Will it work every time? No. Depends upon what caused the stain, and how set in it is.

I have been using the Purex and similar laundry detergent for years also. Works well. I have also made a habit of adding Dawn as a regular part of the wash for the micro-fiber towels too. Just seems to cut the grease a little better. I figure Dawn is great for removing grease when washing dishes, it should help with the oils in the micro-fiber towels. When some of mine do not come entirely clean, I put them in a different stack for when I am cleaning under the hood.

I used Dawn on my 2 year old MM Dry Me Crazy, when it would no longer absorb water. I tried everything I could, vinegar, baking soda, boiling, to no avail. Dawn brought it back to where it could absorb again. The thing with Dawn in the washer is not too use too much, it makes a ton of bubbles, so just a little is all that is needed. Ask me how I learned this! Distilled white vinegar is also great for softening your towels, just a little in the rinse cycle every 10 washes or so will keep your nice Korean towels soft.

That's a great deal Mike, if they had one of those stores where I live, I'd get some too!

You don't need to spend a lot of money to get good quality microfiber. The Rag Company and Microfiber Tech sell towels for much less then the detailing sites do.

Curious which microfiber specific soap you used that had dye in it? I would tend to think you may have mixed a blue towel in the wash with the DMC, and it had some bleeding which stained your DMC. The Purex again, is what I use for wash mitts, drying towels, waterless wash towels, rinseless towels, glass towels, wheel towels, and compound/polish towels. I've found the microfiber specific soaps to do a better job of removing sealants/waxes on towels for those applications.
