...and was wondering if I could use a car wash liquid instead of laundry detergent?
I would like the MF towels to stay soft as they were when new and I'm sure this won't happen with Tide in the wash.
I know of the special products for this task, but I don't have any at the moment and don't want to wait for an on-line order.
TIA

 

i use tide and throw in vinegar during the rinse cycle

 

Regular laundry detergent will work better. Try to use something like Tide Free that doesn't have dies, softeners, or perfumes in it. Then some white vinegar (1/4 cup) in the rinse cycle will make your towels fluffy.

 

also, dry them on delicate/low heat and DO NOT use any fabric softener/sheets. this will clogs the fibers, and cause streaks.

or you could just hang them on a line/rack to dry.

 

Definitely DO NOT use fabric softener in the washer or dryer. However, you can definitely use high heat on the dryer if you want.

 

and better yet, use a product that is made to clean mfs...

just noticed that you dont want to wait for special products- my mistake!!
but still worth ordering for next time!

 

Thanks everyone for the replys. I'm gonig to use the vinegar with soap as per advice. Next time I'll have the correct product for the wash.

 

I use a microfiber detergent. I definitely prefer the results over everything I've used before. I would recommend the Micro-Restore.
