I just cleaned out my closet and my G's trunk tonight.. I found a total of 42 normal rag sized microfibers, 1 big bath towel sized microfiber drying towel and a few terry clothes! They were all dirty from last year. I kept losing them.. So I just kept buying em!

I washed them in Vinegar/Detergent.. And now I'm folding em and packing them into a nice plastic box... I guess I'll have them sit in my trunk so I can grab one whenever.

Anyone else a Microfiber *****? I remember meeting someone in Toronto that had a nice box full of MF's too, he had a reg G.

 

i carry loads of them in the trunk. i have so many different kinds, and i rarely reuse them for some reason

 

I'm trying really hard this year to avoid buying new MF towels. Last year, I found myself buying a 3pack almost every weekend to wash my car! This year, hopefully I can get-by, by using these and maybe add a few more towels since I feel like it's a waste leaving so much room in doing a laundry load.

 

I have over 100 microfiber towels set aside exclusively for use on my car. My stash is nothing compared to many people on the detailing forums.

 

i have about 20 or so of the good ones from griots and detailers paradise.

 

I have ~400 or so, but you know..part of the job.

 

I was going to ask about cleaning MF towels. Can you or someone explain in more detail the best washing and drying practices for these towels?

 

I'd appreciate it if you would give a short explanation of proper cleaning and care of mf's or direct me to a site. Thanks.

 

Picus would definately be the one to ask about cleaning MF towels!

I just threw some Vinegar and detergent in and washed it on low setting.. then had them dry on the easiest setting also.

 

how can you reuse them?
I use them for wiping car (those I reuse for some other applications)
waxing car
cleaning windows
cleaning inside of the car
.................................
They get dirty and shiznet, and I just trow them away and get more from Costco.

 

like a ***** house. doesn't matter how many girls you have if they are
all ugly.

 

He's got it.

Wash them on med-hot cycle with non-fabric softener, non-bleach detergent and a capful of white vinegar (you can skip the vinegar if you like). Either air dry them or machine dry on a low heat cycle.

The most important thing is to never put in a dryer sheet or fabric softener, or to always wash mf's without other items, since they pick up lint so easily.

 

^^ That's why I need another 25-30 MF towels lol.. It's such a waste to do ~40ish towel load.

 

I guess you'll just have to suck it up and buy 25 more then.

 

Thanks. what's the vinegar for anyway?
