BEFORE WASHING:
Wash your microfiber towels separately from all other fabrics.
Separate your microfiber towels. Polishing towels (compound, polish), super dirty towels (engine bay, wheels & tires) and cleaner towels (interior, paintwork, glass).
If the towels are very dirty, start with a pre-soak in a bucket. Add warm water and a bit of all purpose cleaner or Optimum Power Clean. Let them soak a few hours.
WASHER:
Use a gentle liquid detergent that is free or fabric softeners, bleach, dyes and scent. This way, you won’t get any residue coating the fibers. You can use microfiber specific detergents like Micro-Restore, or commonly available ones like Tide Free & Gentle or All Free & Clear. Never use powder detergents.
Select cold or warm temperatures, not hot. Normal cycle (more agitation and spinning helps to scrub off dirt and debris). If you have an extra rinse cycle, use it.
Add 1/2 cup of distilled white vinegar in the bleach port or fabric softener port of your washer. The vinegar will provide more cleaning power, giving the towels a softer feel and remove more stains.
DRYER:
Select no heat or lowest possible heat setting (air dry or tumble dry). Microfiber is a mix of polyester and polyamide, basically really fine plastics. Those fibers will melt (140F or 60C which is melting point of polyamide).
You can hang dry the towels, but they won’t feel as plush.
If you towels have a lot of lint, one trick is to dry them before washing them. This will remove the majority of the lint.
Note: Typically, the bleach tray feeds liquids straight into first wash cycle. The fabric softener tray feeds liquids into the final rinse cycle. If using Optimum Power Clean, dilute it 1:1 wit water, and then use half a cup in the bleach port.

I run my own car detailing company, and i always wash on 90 degrees Celsius. And i always use very hot when drying in the drying machine. And my towels are several years old, still looks and feel brand new. Keep in mind, when microfibre towels are colour dyed, they are so at 100 degrees Celsius. So no worries, wash them at high temperatures. Cold won't do anything good, just try washing buttery fingers in cold water. Nothing happens. But turn on hot water, and see what it does. Clean!

Awesome video yet again Pan! The vinegar trick works magic and I’ve had to transfer my old microfiber stock to wheel and tire towels as I’ve been cooking them on high water temperature! It’s no wonder they weren’t working like new anymore. One trick I found that works really really well is to presoak microfiber and a light solution of dawn dishwashing soap then, rinse in them thoroughly prior to washing them in the machine. That takes all the chemical and grim off, and allows for the washing machine cycle to be more effective. Just have to rinse it very well as too much Dawn will create a very sudsy machine. Well done !

Micro towels are great for household dirt dust and cleaning. I’ve been washing cold and air dry. I’ve been really enjoying a double fused washcloth for face cleansing. One side linen, the other microfiber. Works like this; linen to remove any cleanser, the microfiber side acts like a squeegee removing any traces of cleanser and exfoliates taking any and all remnants of dead skin cells snd debris. Same reason why air dry is best. They dry quickly naturally. Thanks

Nice vid Pan...thorough as usual. I have a suggestion. While there are tons of vids on MF care they all typically address the same stuff. Something i haven't seen anyone do, is one that ties in the MF towels to product-specific cleaning. With sooo many new products on the market with sio2 infused in them or super durable "sealants" where do they fall in the cleaning regime? Most know Ceramic used MF are to be discarded after application. A how-to video on care of all those MF used, say in your torture tests, or during a detail, etc like placing them in a bucket and then how to care for those would be awesome IMO. Like a refresher vid based on the amount of new products with sio2, or nano technology, etc etc. Keep up the great work!

[@joevanseeters2873]

Good one Pan. Very informative and good information on how to clean microfiber cloths. Good advice on using WARM at the most instead of HOT setting. Especially on newer washing machines that have built in heaters that super heat the water to a high temperature on HOT setting. My washer also has a "steam" function, but that too would be far too hot for microfiber cleaning. I usually use the WARM setting when cleaning most of my microfibers and have had good luck with that. There is also a soap company called "CHARLIES SOAP". It's roughly $25 a gallon but this stuff works FANTASTIC for cleaning microfiber cloths. It takes out staining and really gets the microfibers clean. It also has little to no scent and is a free and clear type of liquid soap. They have a powder version but I wouldn't recommend that for microfibers since they crystals may not fully disolve and then get into the fibers themselves and then have the possibility of scratching the surface you are working on later. Never use a powdered detergent on microfibers. Just about any liquid soap will work pretty well as long as it's a quality soap like Tide or similar. I've also had good luck using DREFT soap. It really gets out the stains. DREFT is also readily available at most stores but it's just a little pricier than other soaps. It's worth paying the extra amount.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Great tips Joe!

[@tharwatq]

Joe, thank you very much for the tips and details. Regarding DREFT, I live in Jordan and we have here a big store that sells US products, so I went there to see if I can find Tide Free and Gentle but I found it only in pods form, is it OK to use? I also found DREFT PURE GENTLENESS in liquid form, is this the one you tried? Your answer will be much appreciated. Thank you

[@nichelehoskins2919]

I use Charlie’s Soap in liquid form. I’m curious about dedicated microfiber cleaners, but Charlie’s works very well. I need to start drying on fluff, though.

[@nickdeiters4690]

Thank you so much for the awesome video. I must make one point of safety, however. Folks, PLEASE make sure there is no bleach residue in the tray or dispenser before adding vinegar. Bleach mixed with acid will create heat and chlorine gas. Just be aware and be safe. Thanks again.

Two days ago I watched your video on car glass cleaning (I purchased a 2022 Miata MX-5 in February and I can never get the windshield really clean!) I purchased microfiber towels today at the Auto shop and "was going" to wash them for the first time tomorrow. I would have used my regular detergent (Gain Flings) and I would have used a dryer sheet. After watching this "timely" video, I purchased microfiber detergent from Amazon which will be delivered Saturday so my new towels will have to wait until Saturday or Sunday for their first "proper" wash/dry. I hope following your glass cleaning video (well most of it) I finally get that Miata MX-5 windshield CLEAN. Thanks

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I'm glad you are following my advice! :)

[@desiinc4207]

Now that I finally convinced myself that I can definitely wash and clean my car and will be okay (and bought everything), this guy comes up with a video showing cleaning clothes is another project. I was just going to throw all towels in washer, but I guess can’t do that anymore FML

Wash them only with other micro fiber rags. Don’t use any fabric softener or dryer sheets. . Wash on cold or warm with extra rinse and Dry on low heat.

[@mariarivera3356]

Yes! :) Add add vinegar to the softner or bleach dispenser.

[@Chevycamaro-rg6sd]

Say I have no light detergent

[@Chevycamaro-rg6sd]

And I don’t want to use powerful detergent, can I just use no detergent and vinegar in the softener and bleach trays?

@@simonci5177 Not all MF is created the same. If you are serious about detailing you learn pretty quick which towels work best for the various tasks and rarely do the budget brands make the cut. I have my favorite towels and can no longer find them online to replace so I'm pretty anal on how I wash them. Glad I found out now how sensitive they are to heat, I been lucky that I haven't ruined any towels in the dryer. Thanks Pan for that info.

@@PanTheOrganizer I've ordered my first new car in awhile (2021 Mustang Mach1) and while researching rinseless washing and other auto detailing tips, you popped up while searching KZbin:-) Wow detailing has changed over the years, most impressive...not only in the amount of product/gear available, but the extreme wealth of information out there! It's like a magician going on KZbin and giving away all his guarded secrets! Living in the Pacific NW of Washington State near Puget Sound, I don't want any of my car wash mess to run into the water, so I've been focusing on ways to avoid that. We sadly don't even have a local power wash facility so I'm on my own! Anyways, thanks for the plethora of tips and keep them coming please! Cheers

[@volvotoyota4850]

I use medium heat. Never had a problem. Nice video.

[@TheReaI0ne]

It's weird to think I'm watching a tutorial on how to clean towels after I just watched a tutorial on the best way to get those towels dirty

[@PanTheOrganizer]

LOL!

[@utubepunk]

Two sides of the same coin.

[@alexlivshin]

Great tips, Pan, as always! What happens if you use just a couple of towels and don't have enough for a full wash? Do you soak them in some soapy water until you can do a wash or is it ok to let them dry? I know it depends on what product was used with them, but what are the general guidelines?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I wash my towels after each day regardless how small the load is.

[@chezchezchezchez]

Lol wow pan !

[@HollywoodStan]

Thanks for the info, I have ruined soooo many microfiber towels but now I will see how long they last once I try ur method.

Very good video. I used the vinegar trick and it worked great. Thank you.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for the feedback Mark! Stay safe.

[@adamcoe]

Good advice, Pan. Been using Old Dutch Hypoallergenic (dye/perfume free) for my towels and they've come out great. In your opinion, does a dedicated detergent like Micro Restore make a giant difference, or are regular detergents fine, as long as they're free of softeners and fragrances, etc?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

All-free type detergents are ok, but I still prefer microfiber specific detergents when cleaning microfiber towels, they just seem to do a better job, hard to describe...

[@RozeAbove]

This is a great video! So informative, and it definitely set me straight w/ regard to the wash temp. Certain other videos out there contradict the prescribed temperature and totally disregard the heat sensitivity of microfiber towels. Thanks for making this!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for watching!

[@lead-dog]

I may have missed it but to me you forgot one of the most important aspects of caring for micro fiber towels! After you have washed them each one should be gone over with a fine toothed comb to make sure no small little particles or debris are embedded in the fibers. I am always surprised at how many tiny pieces of junk I find after washing...and I don't drop them on the ground etc. In fact, I can't figure out where those little particles come from. Great video. I might add that Griot's Garage recommends washing them in hot water but I'm with you...cool or warm water is best. Nice video. Thanks.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks and yes good tip, you are right!

[@chrisbatson3402]

Thanks Pan. I'm about to wash my microfiber towels today. Thanks for the toturial.

[@cruikshank]

Thank you. We have the “Free & Clear” detergent in our home already. Knowing this will save me from having to buy more microfiber cleaner. I’ve been using spot cleaners like Shout on my dirty clothes or soaking them in Dawn or OxyClean. Is this bad? Can I use cleaners like Simple Green or Meguiar’s APC for a Pre Soak? If so, how strong should I mix it? Thanks Again. You have a new subscriber.

Hot water is what you instructed to use in the last video you made on this topic. Last time you also mentioned any soap would be fine. A bit of conflicting information between these two videos.

[@ravenstarver1360]

I guess he found a specific detergent for them since then, even in the description of this video he says the normal ones without fabric softener work fine.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You can put them in the dryer, as long as you are using the LOWEST possible heat setting, or better yet, just air fluff or "air dry" setting (meaning just ambient temperature drying).
