How to clean just a few microfiber towels

So, let's say I know a guy, who happened to leave his towels in a bucket of DP Polishing Pad Rejuvenator was created to provide detailers with a fast and effective way to clean pads without soapy residue or foamy degreasers. for.... DAYS. There was some color transfer to the lighter towels. Anyway, said person put them in the washer now with microfiber detergent, any damage done?

Well, my optimum compound pad flew off of my polisher today. It separated at the top, only where the microfiber strands are, and I was left with the foam. This is probably due to the over soaking I did.

Depending how quickly you use them, you could toss the dirty ones in a bucket with some detergent to let them Presoak. I'll usually let them sit over night, or two, in the cleaner. I normally use cold water as to not set the stains in.

When I have enough, I'll do a load. Usually a full detail for me requires about 20 towels. I keep my wax/sealant towels separate from all others, to keep from contamination between towels.

I'm also ocd, so I run the washer empty with dawn and scrub it by hand halfway through the cycle. I'll also run as much hot water in the softener reservoir to clean it. After the cycle is finished I like to wipe the machine out with vinegar. I do the same after washing my towels.

That's more than you asked, but my fingers wont stop! Haha

Dang it Ken, it was YOU that did the whole alcohol wipe in the dryer wasn't it? Tell me the truth now! ;) Because I found myself doing it my last two loads, yes TWICE I was on my freaking knees wiping down the dryer! My wife thought I was freaking NUTS!!! (And she already knows how OCD I am over anything detailing, especially my pads and TOWELS.) But this was over the top, even for me. :laughing:

Well, I'd say if you ran across that "guy" ;) that you tell him he needs to not do that next time! Might end up saving some money on new towels, or maybe PADS (if he's had a problem with any coming apart lately). :rolleyes:

I have a 3 gallon bucket hanging from a hook in the garage where I place dirty towels in. When the bucket is piling over full, I wash towels. I don't separate towels by wheels, etc... I mean, I likely only have one wheel towel in there - as I use mostly brushes.

However, there are 2 towels I wash by hand or alone on delicate: Microfiber Madness Dry Me Crazy and the AG foamed core Guzzler. I know it sounds crazy, but sometimes I'll wash one towel. A single towel in the machine only with 1oz of MF detergent. That towel is often the Microfiber Madness Wave Riders. I do this because they are snow white - and I want them to stay that way.

I kind of see it as, it's likely a huge waste of money to wash a single towel, but it's my money and I can waste it how I choose. I don't drink, so it probably only cost as much (or less) as a pint of Guinness to wash that towel.

Is there color transfer from the MM Crazy piles? Was wondering if I could wash them with the Dry me Crazies before the first use...

On a side note, a pint of chilled Guinness while the machine is running is on another level all it's own.;)
