I have a Microfiber Madness - Dry Me Crazy XL
That is one BIG towel. It real gets heavy when it gets wet. Future reference...I would suggest getting two regular sized DMC (easier to handle) I like your results in this post. I'm gonna give it a try on my regular size stained DMC Quote:
I have many MF towels that I've washed and with "special" fairly expensive mf soap. They still have stains in them. I'm hoping for the same "new looking" results you obtained. Off Topic: Yes, I too know a very good detailer that only uses his mf towels once. I know another that washes his MF towels before use then only uses them once. To each their own. Do what makes you comfortable and happy. Some towels I've used once and they get a stain. If I could get 'em to look new I'd reuse 'em. If the stain doesn't come out I'm put in a position of only using them on door jambs & wheels. On the other hand I had the privilege of participating in the Detailer's Cup Competition. This was at DetailFest 2016. There were 6 vehicles. (3 million dollars worth of cars) and we were supplied mf towels. After the final wipe down they took a laundry cart around, gathered the towels and went direct to the washing machine. Quality microfiber towels are expensive. If I can wash them and get them to look "brand new" I would be a very happy person. I purchased Purex Free & Clear and Purex plus Clorox2 safe for colors. A lot of my towels are orange. Is Purex+ ok? Please advise. |

I too, have used several of the more expensive microfiber soaps, the only benefit I've found from them is they remove waxes and sealants better then a standard free & clear soap.
After trying several of the more expensive free & clear soaps, I found Purex to clean as good or even better than the more expensive alternatives, for towels/wash mitts used for two bucket, rinseless, waterless, detail sprays, and drying. I haven't used the Purex with Clorox 2, as I have been told bleach is bad for microfiber, that it will ruin it, so I've never used it or any product that contains it. Occasionally I get a stain that doesn't come out after washing. The important thing to do is not to put this towel in the dryer. Even at low heat you will set the stain in making it more difficult, if not impossible to remove. This home-made solution works well for difficult stains. As far as throwing away towels after only one use, I don't own any towels that are cheap enough for me to justify doing that. The one's that are cheap enough, the low GSM Chinese junk, I wouldn't use on my paint, or a customers car anyway. Even the lower priced towels I have, like the RC eagle edgeless blue's I got during a sale, for $3 each, are far too good of a towel to use once and throw away. If someone is using high quality Korean towels and throwing them away after only one use, I'd like to get in touch with them. I'd pay for shipping, then I could re-sell them after washing, and donate the money to charity. I couldn't see anyone spending what Microfiber Madness charges, and throwing them away after one use. That's just a complete waste of money in my IMO. If someone wants to do that, well, it's their money. If someone has money to throw away, they could use it to help someone vs. doing something completely ignorant with it.
