After using R2R earlier this week and "necromancing" a bunch of towels, I went a little further. Took some workout clothes that, even after washing, retained a bit of that workout "funk". Presoaked in R2R for 24 hrs, washed them with R2R afterwards just as if it was a towel load and YES! Problem fixed! R2R off-label use Ftw!
Odds are no one will see this, but I think this could be valuable to share. I think a pre soak is invaluable, just did it for the first time and it cleaned up my towels much better.
After trying a dozen household DIY techniques, my towels are still not working properly. But I remembered seeing this video before and wasn’t interested in buying another product. Well, I’m back… and fingers crossed that this actually works. 🤞
R2R works. I ordered some R2R and when it arrived I washed all the micro fibers I have. B A M!!! They all came out like new. This is really amazing stuff. Thank you
@The Rag Company so I finally got it from the local stockist Prestige Car Care and WOW! One single wash at 40C as instructed after a 12-hour soak was enough to fully restore the absorbency of over 15 towels that were all hydrophobic, some that have been extremely water repellent for years! I always used the Chemicals Guys detergent and vinegar but nothing would be able to kill Sonax BSD which is the main sealant I use on everything. R2R is a game changer. It cleaned the towels really well too and I'm happy the price in the UK is super competitive. Thanks for helping the environment with this new product!
Why do some companies recommend to tumble dryer rather than hanging out on your cloths rack or cloths line? Can all microfiber be natural air dried on a rack? Thanks in advance
Alright @theragcompmay, Rags to Riches is freaking amazing! I have a dedicated washing machine for all the detailing towels and pads. However, I have to dry them in the household dryer. In all the videos all over the internet it is mentioned to never use dryer sheets but none of them discus dryer sheet residue inside the dryer. Should I be concerned from cross contamination onto the towels? I've gone to great measures to reduce the possibility by placing ALL towels inside mesh laundry bags preceded by a wipe down with damp water and free and clear onto a microfiber towel and fully wiping down all surfaces.
Thank you guys for explaining in detail now I can hand wash my low performance drying towels because they are clogged up with drying agents I always use drying agents for extra lubricity to avoid micro scratches bringing dead towels back from the dead 😂
Just bought this, and immediately placed 4oz of R2R with 3 gallon of water and hydrophobic towels in a bucket. If this is good as many is saying, then I would use this a DEEP CLEAN MAINTENANCE for my towels - twice a year until, I run out of my Chemical Guys, Malco and MicroRestore detergents.
i really like Rag to Riches, but its starting to get expensive just to clean your microfibers.... some in the pre soak bucket, some in the washing machine.. i mean its just to much for me at the price point your selling it. it does great but its just not worth all that cash. i switched to Tide Free & Gentle Pods (112 Pods for 30$cad) and i use 50-100ml of distilled vinegar (4L for 4.49$cad) during the rinsing stage. Comes out just as good as Rag the Riches but sames me tons of cash.
I like using some distilled vinegar during the final rinse to rinse out and neutralize detergent. Are you saying using vinegar with R2R is harmful or is it just not necessary?
Yep same here .. previous I believe the DWV was uses to help clean the towels and soften them up some. It may not be necessary for that but for neutralizing the soap ... I believe it helps. Especially with R2R’s that suds up a lot compared to other detergents.
@@Jeeper1378 I agree I like having the towels completely residue free. Have you had the chance to test R2R with vinegar? If so how much of both are you adding to the wash? I just ordered a bottle of R2R so will be experimenting soon
@@epap1375 i use a portable washer. In between the wash, refill tub/rinse i will fill a bucket with about a gallon water and 1/2 oz of DWV. Let soak for a bit, remove and Rinse out. final rinse in the washer. I do notice less soap residue when i use DWV. Or the water in the washer is perfectly clear.
I like to make my towels hand rinsing after machine washing, to my opinion it makes towels absorb much better. Try and be amazed the amount of detergent still in the towels 👍
@@theragcompany thanks for the reply. I'm aware of the arrangement between TRC and P&s and regulations around export of chemicals but I appreciate your explanation.

Results ?
And the verdict is
R2R works.

Love R2R !!! This is the best I’ve tried so far!
Great video!! you could easily sell more towels but you created this product to save us $$$ and the environment
Just received the small bottle and a gallon size today. Looks like I’ll be giving away the 3/4 full gallon jug of another brand that I still have.

Thanks for posting this cuz i use thay same technique gonna have to purchase now😊
@@drzflyest4 go for it it. It's really good.
Could you guys bring back that style of the Wash, Rinse and Wheel wash bucket stickers? That was the best looking style compared to your current ones.
Anthony, nice tip on showing how to use the soaking bucket and the grit guard to work the solution into the towels.
I’ve had this big blanket towel never washed it 😂 but I got this for my bday
How does it compare to micro-restore detergent??
Nice Rush reference! "The Necromancer"...
Anthony, great video. Where can I buy the rinse bucket and grit guard.
Why do some companies recommend to tumble dryer rather than hanging out on your cloths rack or cloths line?
Can all microfiber be natural air dried on a rack?
Thanks in advance
Perfect explanation! I need to wash some brand new towels from you guys I can’t wait!
Those Macro shots thouggghhh >>>

There isn't a compelling reason to ever use dryer sheets for any type of laundry. Try wool balls for your normal, non microfiber, laundry.
its hard to dry on no heat especially like the drying towels, i try to do low and air dry to finish
Have you got any info as to when we can expect this to be available for purchase in the UK?
Thank you guys for explaining in detail now I can hand wash my low performance drying towels because they are clogged up with drying agents I always use drying agents for extra lubricity to avoid micro scratches bringing dead towels back from the dead 😂
Nice video. This product works great!
i wish you can sell this thing on brazil
Would this product restore towels that have already been dried in the dryer? Thanks!
Do you presoak all pads together or seperate them (wool, microfiber and foam). Great review too
Good stuff to know! Thanks!
Very Informative!

How did it turn out?
@@nolimitjat Afterwards, they were a lot more absorbant.
Such great info. Keep it up TRC!
Will I still need to wash them by hand if I do the presoak? If so what are the instructions for hand washing?
Great product!
Is this coming to the UK?
Need to make some pods
I don't have washing machine. So how can I clean my microfiber towels?
Any authorised seller in India for Rag company products
Who would have thought a company that sells towels would make a detergent?
Probably someone smart
Just ordered
Is there any danger of just letting the towels soak in rags to riches for longer than a day?
No its completely fine to let the towels soak longer than 24hrs
Great. So this detergent will unclog my old microfiber towels that aren't absorbent as good as new ?
Hi@The Rag Company, would you like to review the new MJJC foam cannon pro?
will this product bring back rags that have been used to wipe off ceramic coatings like caropro UK 3.0 ??
I have not had any luck with that. We tried it at work and it didn't work well.

Will your UK affiliate store stock this??
Prestige car care have it in stock
Wouldn’t R2R have been better if it didn’t have a blue dye color to it ?
how does a $20 bottle of this compare to a $1.50 bottle of vinegar?
$18.50
What are these bottles called?
Graduated Dispenser
They're almost as expensive as the product itself. Just buy the product for a few more dollars.
I've found that Trisodium phosphate or TSP added to Gain/Tide cleans like no other since it use was banned for use in detergents....
Have you used TSP with microfiber towels?
I read articles about boiling MF towels? I mean would “water” actually melt the fibers ?
The nylon (the 20 in an 80/20 blend) breaks down under high heat. Once the nylon is damaged, the fabric no longer has any absorbancy.

Churn that butter baby!!
None

Surely ordinary washing detergent works just as well. 🤔
Not even close.
