Microfiber towel and pad questions

I only use dedicated MF detergent such as MF Restore and 3D Towel Kleen. As far as washing pads in the machine, I do wash MF pads and have not had any ill effects. FWIW, I always do a double rinse when I wash my towels and pads and have not had any problems with residue.

Agreed - Use a dedicated MF detergent - and Pads are fine in the washer.

Use only Warm Water at best - and no dryer - air dry only.

MF specific detergent only for me.

Also, does anyone place the polishing pads in their washing machine? Even after a preliminary hand washing wouldn't that still leave some residue in the washing machine tub?

I run the machine's cleaning option before I start. Once all the MF loads are done (all with 2 rinses like Don mentioned) I run Tide Washing Machine Cleaner thru according to the directions on the packet.

We still use a top load washer with the fabric softener dispenser in the top of the agitator. I will clean it out to make sure all of the softener is gone before washing. I use 3D detergent and it seems to do a good job. But sometimes if I'm out and use Tide Free, I think the towels come out softer.

I got a gallon of 3D Kleen and griots microfiber and pad cleaner. Directions state to ADD it to detergent. I use whatever free and clear is on sale. Fill half with detergent and add 4-6 pumps of the Griots P&MF and works great.

Both work great but the Griots combo comes out softer. Don’t know if a little softer makes different. With 25% off sale 3D’s cheaper but I feel once you add a 10$ gallon of F&C detergent the Griots comes out to similar value and I like a little better. Never tried F&C detergent with 3D Kleen.
