A couple of months ago, I decided to try a different microfiber detergent. My go-to had been P&S Rags to Riches, but it commands a significant price premium in Australia, and I'd often read people say R2R is just hype — not worth the premium over competitor products. So I switched to 3D Towel Kleen.
3D Towel Kleen: $59.95 AUD (1 gallon)
P&S Rags to Riches: $109.95 AUD (1 gallon)
While roughly half the price, I don't think Towel Kleen is as effective as R2R. I've noticed my drying towels becoming increasingly hydrophobic since switching. Those towels had been in service for years under R2R with no issues, and only started underperforming after the switch.

So I've picked up a fresh gallon of R2R and I'm doing an overnight soak to try to revive them. To 15-litres of hot water, I added 125ml of R2R, gave it a stir and left them with the lid on to soak overnight.

I know towels have a finite lifespan, but the timing — performance dropping right when I switched detergents — points to the detergent, not just age.
I also know 3D and P&S are under the same parent company now, but both products were developed independently before merger.
