Has anyone tried using the Snappy Clean pad cleaning powder to clean their microfiber towels? It looks very similar to the DP Polishing Pad Rejuvenator which is one of the suggested cleaners for microfiber.
 


I hit mine with a pressure sprayer, (household grade) then soak em in a bucket with soapy (Dawn) water & let em sit overnight. I then aggetate them a little bit, & then hit em with the sprayer again, & then rinse, wring out & either hang them to dry, or throw em in the dryer for maximum fluffyness.

Btw, I use water that's in between 160-170 degree's.

Why not use a a cleaner made for mirco fiber like Pinnacle Mirco Fiber Rejuvenator.
 
For maintnance I wash with DP micro fiber cleaner and a wash in the washing machine with like towls. Then in the dryer with some dryer balls to restore static on air fluf or low heat. When they are not performing to my standards they get a healthy apc soaking in some hot water then normal wash and dry.
 
I realize I can use cleaners that are labeled for microfiber, but since I don't have any and need to clean some of my towels, I just thought I would ask if anyone has tried the Snappy powder.
 
I use my washing machine on delicate using hot water and barely any unscented powder. When I take them out I soak them in cold water just to make sure soap is gone. Tumble dry, low. I have reused after this process with no problems at all.

I have washed mine with liquid Tide and never had a problem.
 
I have always washed mine in the washing machine with Sun brand powdered laundry detergent. I put a splash of white vinegar in the rinse cycle. I set the water temp to hot. My towels always come out like new clean with no absorption issues and they do not scratch finished paint.

As for the snappy packs I have used them to clean pads in a bucket by hand and they work just like DP rejuvinator, Great.
 
When you put your microfibers in to soak in degreaser or APC how much do you use?

I like cutting APC 10:1 I pre-soak my good mf's and after I'm done, I take all my wheel, engine mf's and soak it in the same solution.

Brilliant! Gonna try this on my next bunch of dirtys. I have a lot of tire & wheel MF's that could use a little TLC!
 
Microrestore or DP are my go to's for MF care. If you want some extra power toss in some white vinegar too.

Thanks for the heads up. I just tried this, I put them in a 5 gallon bucket with some APC and set them in the sun to soak. I just checked them and the water is black and the towels look alot better. I'm gonna wash them here in a little bit.
