Is Adams APC safe to use on my microfibers?

Hey Guys, been lurking C5 for a while now. Thanks for all the great information and advise.

I bought my 2011 yellow 2SS/RS vert about 6 weeks ago and havnt looked back

I have too many dirty microfibers and was wondering if adam APC was safe to clean them without disturbing the electro-charges, fibers or anything else.

Any advise on cleaning them (save throwing them in the washing machine) is appreciated.

Thanks

dxbss, CONGRATS on the new ride......I'm sure Dylan will find this sooner than later, but theres what is recommended. YES you can use your washing machine and its probably the best way to do them. But what you need to do is to use a product like ALL FREE & CLEAR.....it has NO Dyes, NO Perfumes, NO softeners.....I wash them in HOT to release any hydrocarbons that may have gotten. Then air dry them, DO NOT use any fabric softeners in the wash or in the dryer. When mine are almost dry, I put them in the dryer on DELICATE and FLUFF them a bit, and your done.


OH and BTW......Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in them...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's and wive's here don't care....and take it easy.



oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

APC makes a good spot treater and even diluted I'll use it to pre-soak dirty towels, but for regular cleaning you'll want to do the following:
  • Separate light/darks and very dirty towels to avoid cross contamination.
  • Machine wash on a warm setting, use extra rinse cycle if equipped.
  • Use a liquid laundry detergent only and preferably an allergen free if possible.
  • Machine dry on a low heat setting with no fabric softener.

Yeah, I didn't separate colors, I now have a grey doublesoft towel. It still works, but it's grey.
