How to Wash Microfiber Towels PROPERLY

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This is a longer video discussing: 1) What to look for in a particular MF towel 2) How to wash/dry your towels 3) How to organize your towels once they are clean. I literally gotten 14 emails in the past 3 days about this exact topic so I had to shoot a thorough video. Hope its helpful :) -L

    I think it's nice to clean the washer, but likely of little value. That's because when you clean in there you only get to clean what you can see. That drum with the holes has a backside to it which is exposed to the dirty water too and so likely just as scummy, bet you can't reach it. Then there is the larger solid walled drum the holey drum is inside. That's gotta be filthy too and you can't get at it either. So he gets less than a third of the scummy surfaces in there which his wash water is exposed to. Granted he gets what can directly touch things in a fresh load, but his water is still contaminated by the rest of the scummy surfaces unseen.

    Do you know what I enjoy most about your videos? You don't relentlessly press people to buy a product. I previously sold new vehicles and I still find myself feeling uncomfortably pressured to buy products with other detailing KZreadrs. You may mention your product, but it never takes precedence over actually teaching people something. I won't name names, but I just watched another "clean your towels" video from another company and cannot believe how much BS they feed their viewers and how their sales pitch overtakes their information. Thanks for keeping it real and informative.

    Larry, great videos and information. I have been doing construction longer than you have been detailing, take my advice, change out your dryer vent pipe from plastic to a minimum flexible foil duct. Better yet make as much of it as you can hard pipe and then foil flexible. It is a gas dryer and you are looking for a fire to happen. The plastic duct work is probably hard and brittle the heat does the same to that flimsy plastic duct work as a microfiber towel.

I accidentally burned an end or two of micro towels and the heat melted them into a hard crust ... so it didn't occur to me that a hot dryer is capable of doing the same thing, even at a microscopic level, will make scratches in the finish. Thanx for all the info on the weights, makes a LOT of sense and very useful info, as usual.

    Unless you are detailing Lamborghini's or Bentley's, just wash your dang microfiber towels together in a separate load and be done with it. If you have some nasty ones, pre soak them, or repurpose them as shop towels. Air dry the towels separately and use your dryer's lower heating settings and don't use fabric softener sheets (as with any dryer cycle, clean the lint trap first). Store your towels separately in a bag or box to keep them free from dirt and dust.

    For me anyways, rinsing in warm avoids that coagulating of gunk on the machine and gets more dirt and detergent out of the towels. (I've watched the washing and the rinsing process by holding down the "safety" switch to see how the water looks) "Cold" can be very cold in northern places (as ya know). In winter and spring the "warm" setting will be kinda too cool cuz of the freezing cold water added to the mix. In that case, I'll start the wash with the hot setting, then switch it (while it's filling) to warm wash when the tub is 1/3 full. Love your vids. Cheers from Ottawa, ON:)

    I'm a chemist who used to work on powder detergents, Tide specifically. You have a pair of problems no single detergent can tackle alone, dirt and oily or waxy residues. Your application requires 2 washes per load. If you are seeing powder detergent left over on fabrics, you're using too much powder. It takes much less powder than most people use, 1/3 to 1/2 scoop for a full sized load. Use less for smaller loads. Use even less if you have very soft water. Powder detergent has an advantage no liquid can match, sodium aluminum silicate or similar compound. After extensive testing, I recommend Tide. It really does clean better. One of its functions is to keep soil removed from fabrics in the water and not redeposited on the fabrics. This is important for loads like yours. What dirt you get out needs to stay out. Since your towels also have a high waxy oily content, two wash/rinse cycles would be better. Wash and rinse once in powder detergent, then a second time with liquid detergent. Oils will stay in the towels during the powder wash. The liquid wash will remove those organics. The second wash should also wash the washer so you don't have to run an empty load as often to clean it. It may not matter which order you wash in, but you need both on these towels. Use at least a warm wash and warm rinse. Hot wash and warm rinse would be ideal. Cold rinse will cause waxes and oils to deposit inside the washer and back on the towels leaving them with residue, and you'll have to clean the washer more often. This regimen may allow you to get more life out of your C towels before they turn into D towels. The D towel you showed could be cleaned well with this combination of wash cycles. If you try it, please leave a comment as to how it worked for you.

A little off topic here - I noticed the plastic vent hose coming from your dryer. Those plastic hoses have been known to catch fire. They are banned here in Canada due to the large number of house fires they caused. I see the plastic vent goes up near the gas line and gas meter. That's scary. I hope you will consider switch to a metallic exhaust pipe from the dryer. I don't want to see you hurt or your home lost.

    Very informative video. Thanks for posting it. In the area of safety please do yourself a very important favor, on your basement dryer get rid of the white plastic vent tubing as it is a fire hazard. If there is any lint that flares or flames an internal fire becomes an external fire in an instant as the tube melts in a flash. You are supposed to only use rigid solid ducting or flexible aluminum and not even the silver foil tubing as it's not much better than the white vinyl that you have. I'm a contractor and know of people who lost homes due to this issue.

    I hand wash my microfiber towels in the garage sink, using liquid laundry soap and warm to hot water. Rinsing them each time in cold water. Sometimes it takes up to three (3) good wash/rinse cycles to get "all" the crud out of them or until the water rinses clean. Then, air-dried in the shower stall. They usually come out looking like new again. I don't think machine washing does that thorough of a job, Ammo?

    Great video, very informative. I have only one comment. I see that you are using a plastic dryer duct to vent your dryer. These ducts are a fire hazard, they are flammable. (And they are not permitted by code. They are only allowed to vent a bath vent.) You can use metal flex up to 8' . After that you must use rigid metal duct to the exterior. Also remember to clean the lint build up (highly flammable) from your dryer duct every year. (There are many good videos on KZread showing how to do this.) Plastic dryer duct is the cause of many home fires every year!

    Fabric softener will prevent material from absorbing over time, so shouldn't be used in towels in general. I don't know how well white vinegar works with MF towels, but it can be good for removing the build up from fabric softener, and also limescale in hard water areas. It may also help remove other stuff from the towels. You use it like you would a fabric softener. And no, it actually doesn't leave a smell after.

    Hi Larry; this is a fascinating video. Thank you for doing such a find job of explaining M-F towels. Best tip was not to turn the dryer to "hot as hell" when you're drying them because of the damage it does - and yes, I have some that have a slightly crunchy feel to them - so now I know that they've been burned. I'm not that dedicated to my car washing so I basically go with 3 sets: washing / drying / waxing - and they go into the machine by their "set" when I have enough used ones.
