I've got a pile of micro fiber towels I need to wash.

Are there any tricks to getting all the crap off them?

Hot hot water and I use vineagar in the rinse cycle.

Soap and wax does leave a sludge so you might wanna rinse out your washing machine when you're done.

I use a special soap formulated for microfiber towels, bring them to the laundry right on 25 & Higgins, wash them on hot all at once. Done.

Wash them with hot ass water, dry with no fabric softener.
Rinse the wash machine when you are done.

I straight wash mine in the washer with laundry soap. But no matter what you do, they are retired from direct paint contact. I use the washed ones to apply tireshine, interior/engine protector products and to clean the chrome wheels. But I wont use them again on the paint with detail spray or wax. You just never know whats hiding in those fibers. And if a clean one hits the ground, its garbage.

All good advice, never wash them with non-micro fiber towels either.

I have a few that fell on the ground <_< small leaves stuck to it and debris. Those towels are done for?

Do you want those scratching your paint?

i soak mine in a bucket with laundry detergent. once i rinse them by hand a couple times, i was them in warm water with a microfiber detergent.

rinse twice and like Marco said NO DRYER SHEET

I put mine in the wash cycle on cold and with regular unscented laundry detergent. Then I put some vinegar in there and do another rinse cycle and hang to dry.

I also don't mix towels. Buffing/waxing towels go together and door jam/others go together.
