    What do you use to wash your microfiber towels?
    I ran out of micro-restore and I just want to buy something locally.

    I normaly wash my mf bythemsleves and use liquid tide. I find it does a good job. Everyonce in a while I mirco-restore. It keeps them working well and nice and plush...

    I use Woolite and it works great. Gets all the filth out of my MFs.

    I use whatever hypo-allergenic, perfume free, dye free liquid laudry detergent is on sale..I also squirt in some vinegar to the wash cycle and they get triple rinsed and then they get hang dryed.

    Nica out to lunch... yeah right, like that's happened..lol. I've noticed the vinegar makes them all nice and fluffy and soft again. I use it about every three washes


    Hey klumzy, make sure you get the liquid detergent with no dye's or perfumes... They are usually the one's labeled "Hypoallergenic" or "For Sensitive Skin"

    OK, new question here.

    AL417 on AG brought up an interesting point: this MFs started linting when he was using Woolite. Now, my Cobra Jrs. are linting like man and I wash them in Woolite.

    However, my CG MFs don't lint even when washed in Woolite. He uses Pinnicle MF Restores but that is way too expensive for me.

    Suggestions? I don't want to ruin my nice MFs when Woolite could be a culprit.

    pirex knows of what he speaks! I used CG MF wash for the first time and liked it better than Pinnacle Micro Restore. MF's seemed to come out fluffier and cleaner than they had before.

    Thanks a lot MotorCity!

    I have dried my MFs on low in the dryer. They come out nice and soft. When I used to hang dry them, they're a little little bit stiffer.
