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!

Holy crap! I just realized you do these videos in English AND French. I've gotta say, you do the most exceptional job on your UA-cam channel and deserve all the accolades you get and number of subscribers. Great work and Im glad I stumbled upon your channel.
Thanks I appreciate it! You’re right, it takes so much time and energy to produce each video and in my case I have to film twice. But I’m passionate about detailing and have a great audience! How did you discover my channel?
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 ! Love the Rag Company Twistress... An absolute A + towel and found it due to your awesome reviews!
Great video Pan. An important thing to do as well, if your washing machine is shared for domestic duties, ensure that you thoroughly clean the fabric softener dispenser in the soap tray if any liquid softener has been in there, and run a quick empty wash cycle with no detergents before putting your towels in to remove any fabric softener residues. :-)
Thank you Pan! I was just saying to my partner last night that all of our microfibre towels are storing so much debris that they’re leaving hairs and fibres behind. This video just came up as recommended and now I know where we’re going wrong!! Life saver!
I am a diver, and we use these to dry off faster. We always end up hanging them in our lockers to dry, but we use hot water to rinse them. I always feel like they hold nasty things.But they are very useful! Also this video is amazing at explaining step by step. Very detailed video.
Thanks Ava! Yes, microfiber towels are great cleaning tools for picking up moisture and liquids and dirt, but need to be cleaned properly in order to stay effective.
Great tips. Note! Even the lowest clothes dryer heat setting, is usually still full heat, but it blows full heat just for shorter durations than the high heat setting, which is often on continuously.
So glad I watched this video. Just bought $50 worth of micro-fiber towels for the garage. I would've likely ruined them before watching this video. I just assumed you'd wash them the same way you wash any other towels. Thanks, and keep the great videos coming, Pan.
Thank you thank you thank you! This was exactly what I needed to know. I just bought my first brand new car and I bought a ton of detailing supplies to take proper care of it. Now I don't have to worry about how to clean all of my new microfibers!
You just got a fan for life! I've seen the detailing product vids, but this has to be my absolute favorite. Near and dear to my heart. I do pretty much every single thing you go over, from the wash settings (have a very similar LG machine) to ALL free & clear, and even the white distilled vinegar. Family thinks I'm too obsessive over laundry. This is validation! Great tips, thanks for putting it out there! I need to buy that t-shirt now
Hehhe thank you for the kinds words! What is your favourite T-Shirt on my website? teespring.com/stores/pantheorganizer And I have a new favourite microfiber detergent now. Removes the need to add vinegar. Watch my video: ua-cam.com/video/Z7liwhyqLJI/v-deo.html
Once again, great video. I had been doing all this but hadn't pre-soaked in a degreaser. WOW! I had to change the soak water twice because this got so much gunk out of the towels. Thanks!
I've washed my microfiber towels in hot water (and I keep my hot water very hot) many, many times and have not melted anything. The towels come out like new. I do that following the printed instructions that came with my Chemical Guys microfiber towels - those instructions specify HOT water, LOW heat in dryer and no fabric softener sheets.
I have been using 7th Generation non toxic laundry pre treatment for stained MF cloths along with the Micro Restore. Seems to work good. I will put on low temp drying now.
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.
I have a dedicated washer/dryer for my detailing towels... when we did the addition and my wife got her 1st floor laundry room, I got the old washer and dryer in the basement. I also separate my microfibers into categories when I wash them and dry my microfibers on the delicates setting. I soak the microfibers used in a 5 gallon pail with a water/APC solution to break down any compound/polish/wax/sealant on the towels. I have been using Persil laundry pods for washing.
Fantastic video. I just wash my microfiber towels the rigth way for the first time in my life. I totaly use the knowlege of this video. Two thumbs up Mr. Pan The Organizer . Blessings from LA. 👍👍👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
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.
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!
ANOTHER genius video Pan. Who needs Google when we have you!! Detailing season is here (almost). Getting the microfiber towels ready for cleaning. Have lots of new ones for paint correction & paint sealing!! Stay well * Keep it tight * Keep it clean 🇺🇸
Hey Pan, great step by step as usual! It worked great for me, Thanks! As I had been away from detailing seriously for some time, microfiber towels are something new for me. I've watched all of your content on or relating to microfiber towels. The results in finish I've achieved using them is top notch. I will definitely be shopping with your links to build my stock up!
Hi Pan great video as always, I have tried a few ways to clean my towels but I tried the way you explained in the video and it worked much better thanks for the great advice as always
Amazing. Today I watched the video that was posted three years ago about washing microfiber towels. Now an updated version! Crazy! Pan, you're great! I just started getting into the detailing world. I agree, it is theraapudic and relaxing. I would like to start my own detailing business some day. I am learning a lot from your videos. Very informative and professional.
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.
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
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.
I have microfiber towels that are maybe 10 years old and just wash them and dry on normal heat not high or max! Guess what those 10 year old towels still work and look good!
@Pan TheOrganizer, try this tip, it will amaze you. I AIR dry all my Microfiber towels. BUT before you hang them on a drying rack you MUST SNAP the towel. Best method is to simply grab the left corner and the right corner and do a hard quick snaping towel motion. I normally snap the towels straight down. I do EACH towel, rotate the towel 90degrees left, repeat. Do this for all 4 edges of the towel. Once these towels dry they will be 99% new and 10,000 times better then any simple hang dry or electric dryer. If you do this and agree, just give me a shout out for the tip! Trust me you will never dry your towels any other way once you do this. Just remeber to snap as hard as you can, the point is to SNAP those fibers loose from each other when they dry.!! Good luck!
Completely true! I do the same thorough snap and mine have never come out better. Super fluffy, absorbent, brilliantly bright and clean and ready for the next round of cleaning. As microfibre dries so quickly, I just peg them up on an airing rack and they're dry by the next morning. I wash mine in a long soak and wash cycle and my agency cleaner commented that I have the cleanest and best cloths of all her clients! [Previously, I left the cleaning to the helpers and they didn't clean the cloths properly, which resulted in dirt & grime just being smeared here and there - ugh!]
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.
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.
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).
In Wholesale, you can buy 100 towels for 10$. Just buy new, than risk 1scratch. and you save 1hour of your time and electricity on washing 100 towels. Just buy new
@@sosababy6307 prices maybe went up now because of new outbreak in china, they produce less now, but 3 months ago was loats Sellers for 10cent per cloth
@@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.
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!
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?
The only problem I have with drying my microfiber towels in the dryer on the lowest heat setting is that they take FOREVER to dry, especially the heavy-weight towels. I like that rack you have there Pan--I usually hang them somewhere in the house.
Thanks Pan.. Would there be any residue left in the washer (wax etc) that would need to be addressed before washing regular clothes again? Perhaps running an empty load to get rid of that? What are your thoughts on this 🤔
I've washed a lot of microfiber towels and I've never noticed any type of residue after washing them, even when they were towels that I used for a wax or sealant. Just my two cents.
Personally I take mine to a public laundromat. I do presoak them a day ahead in a microfiber cleaner solution to loosen up anything heavy duty dirt, wring out toss into a laundry basket. Then basically follow the way Pan has describe.
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?
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...
Hi, Pan! Great video and super tips, as usual!!! Still some questions, though; - at 3:00 Where did you get that awesome poster with all the washing symbols? - at 3:15 How much of the all purpose cleaner / degreaser would you recommend to add to the cold or warm water in the sink? And last but certainly not least: keep up the awesome work!!! Greetz & respect from Belgium!
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.
Dry cleaner w/ 16yrs of experience here. Very solid advice and I just want to add a couple of pointers. Adding acid or what we call “sour” into first rinse is mostly to neutralize and rinse off detergent which tends to be alkali. Doesn’t really boost cleaning. If you want to release grease in wash wheel add some sort of degreaser approved my local municipality to prewash. Most specialized detergents are mostly cash grab. Use clear kirkland detergent from costco, which is made by Persil. Trick is to use lot less than recommended amount. Every washing machine is different so you need to experiment. How do you know if you’ve use too much? Soak the fabric that came out of the washing machine in warm water. If you see soap residue then you’ll know.
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
I remember a few months ago after I was married, with3 children , I got all excited after buying the most expensive WD set at appliance store. Almost exciting as the mini van from a few years ago. How things have changed from my early 20s'!
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
I read and was told to get bad stains out of a microfiber towel to bring a pot of vinegar water to a boil put the towels in stirring for a minute and a half in the boiling water, and it works good!
Wash them the way you think they need to be washed. I've been using different kinds of microfiber cloths in my home ever since they existed. Smoother and fluffier ones, differences in percentages of types of polyester fibers and so forth. Since I use them for cleaning, they get dirty and need to be thoroughly washed and thoroughly rinsed. I stopped watching the video after he grabbed the detergent, claiming you need a mild one. Honestly that makes about as much sense as advising people to wash cloth diapers in cold water with only a quarter of the recommended amount of detergent to prevent build up of detergent. That will not work. There might not be any build up of detergent but there morst certainly will be build up of dirt if you do it that way. That's one sensible thing from this video, to set the machine to do an extra rinse and to pre soak very dirty cloths. Here's how I see it. I'm not about to waste a full washing cycle just for the small amount of cleaning cloths I use in a week. So the cloths have always been mixed with other stuff. I still have some cloths from over 10 years ago and they are still very absorbant and soft, but wearing out. I wash all my cleaning cloths, including the microfiber ones, on a 60 degree celcius full cycle, they go in with our bed sheets, bath towels, tea towels etc. They come out clean, soft and absorbent. I do not have a dryer so everything is line dried. I don't use fabric softener, that's a no-no with microfiber, but I put white vinegar in the fabric softener compartment instead. All the different kinds of microfiber cloths I have are holding up wonderfully.
I usually use the 40 °C setting when washing microfibre towels, the labels on some of them even say that 60 °C would be possible. Never had any problems with that so far. However I do use the low heat setting with the gentle option on my dryer and I add a few tennis balls, so the towels become extra fluffy.

Good evening Pan. Just caught this video for cleaning the towels. I have been using ALLs free and clear and warm water. Always good to see I’m doing right from pro that does it all the time. Thanks for all your informative videos. It really helps a person like me.
If you have a dryer and drying racks, I like to take the towels off the drying racks when done and tumble them for 5 minutes on low heat to "puff" them up.
For people who live in the real world, quick cycle on 30 Degrees C at full rpm, usually works out at around 45 minutes on an LG machine. Air drying is best inside or out
Followup msg...used all your microfiber wash and dry techniques...truly the BEST, softest, plushest my microfiber towels ever were...both old and new towels. May i ADD 2 more suggestions: 1. Heavily soiled rags, add a few squirts of SPRAY N WASH , cold or even warm water does not clean towels without this very well, 2. If u cannot wait for multiple tumble air dry cycles or rack drying....set up a drying rack next to a basement dehumidifier if u have one....mine is on a timer to save electricity, two 2 hr cycles per day, towels dry in 24 hrs.
I don't really do anything with the car but this was very helpful as I really had no clue about the composition and why I was constantly destroying microfiber items. Thanks for this!
Just a tiny bit of correction, and I’m glad I learned the melting point of microfiber, so thank you. I’m a Detailer who just so happens to have spent the last decade as a plumber. Plumbers, at least here in Texas, will as a standard set water heaters in residential homes to 120°F. Because anything over 130 can and will scald you. We NEVER set water heaters to 140°F. It’s too hot for anyone, dangerous for children and elderly folks, and it isn’t great for the hoses and/or plastic parts of the tank either. Otherwise, great info!
Yeah, so I would simply stay away from the hot setting in the washer, and use cold or warm. The most important thing here is to use the lowest heat setting or no heat in the dryer.

Great tips. Especially the fabric softener one. Fabric softeners destory the fabric of not just the microfiber towels but also your clothes, they become more stretchy over time and less water absorbent which can cause your body sweat to just stay on your skin.

@@PanTheOrganizer I Googled "How to wash microfiber cloth" because I knew washing microfiber isnt the same as other things, but didn't know exactly what, and your video was on the top :). I looked at an article first but honestly it sucked, not even close to how detailed and informative you were about it in this video, glad I looked at your video after reading that article!
Helpful hint if you air dry your microfiber towels. Those thick drying towels can take days to dry out. They hold so much water, that the spin cycle of the washing machine can't remove all the water. So, my suggestion is to place a couple containers of moisture absorber, either DampRid or the generic Dollar Tree equivalent, on top of or under the drying rack. They will absorb a lot of the humidity from the towels, and will speed up the drying process. I found that the towels dried faster after I started placing moisture absorbers on the drying rack.
Absolutely. Especially if you wash your new towels before their first use (ALWAYS wash new towels before the first use) and then you will care for them following this tutorial.
I'm glad you show you can use Tide free and clear . And the detailer that is in Dallas , Texas uses Cheer Clear All . Because microfiber detergent seems to be very expensive , cheapest I have found is 3D at $25.00 a gallon .
My favorite microfiber detergent, by far, is this newer one: amzn.to/43puC1G You can get it in a gallon size, and you only use about 1 oz per wash for normal loads, so it's super cheat in the long run.
you are an absolute legend my friend. Between you and chris fix, you’ve given me to a much pride in my car it’s ridiculous. love the science too. thanks for educating me- amazing stuff

I just invested in a really nice set of microfiber cloths and haven’t washed them yet. Your tips are well timed! I want them to last. As far as washing them, my cloths are important for my household cleaning and I had to research ways to make do. I wish I’d found your video a few years ago. I have hard water and have a front loading machine. My detergent alone wasn’t able to provide clean smelling cloths. I found it necessary to use washing soda, but powders don’t dissolve well in my unit. I found that it seemed my cloths didn’t feel or smell clean, which is important since I have a specific set for the accidents and messes of my special needs dog. I first soak my microfiber cloths in a tub in warm water. I add a teaspoon of Arm and Hammer’s Super Washing Soda, which unfortunately wreaks havoc on my hands. I use a plunger specifically for the laundry tub to give them good but gentle wash. I then drain water and run clear water. Another go with the plunger and drain. I move them via a bucket into the washer and wash them by themselves. For detergent I use a teaspoon of Persil. I always select Express wash with extra rinse. They come out smelling and feeling clean. I throw them in the dryer on low heat. My cloths have lasted years and I will never go back to plain cloths. I’m on a limited income and try to take care of my things. Until I found the super washing soda, it felt like my towels and microfiber cloths weren’t getting clean. Thank you for the tips on care! I so appreciate it! Next month I will budget for a gentler detergent. It makes sense!

@@yeahnoway111 yea my wife made me buy the LG washer and dryer. I wasn’t happy at first because of the price, but over a year later and I’m glad we went with LG. And I just wanted to reply so I could see it say @ass
I gotta use a washboard to wash them and a fan to dry them.
That’s all you need though right! All those other features are just more things to break ;)

I’ve been washing microfiber towels so freaking wrong until now. Great video
Thanks Carlos! Now you know how to take good care of them.
Me & U both! Hopefully I can get them back how they used 2B..... Or are they done for?

@@PanTheOrganizer I discovered you with the "no touch wash". 🥇 Video
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 ! Love the Rag Company Twistress... An absolute A + towel and found it due to your awesome reviews!
Thanks for the kind words and feedback John! :)

Great video Pan. An important thing to do as well, if your washing machine is shared for domestic duties, ensure that you thoroughly clean the fabric softener dispenser in the soap tray if any liquid softener has been in there, and run a quick empty wash cycle with no detergents before putting your towels in to remove any fabric softener residues. :-)
Thank you Pan! I was just saying to my partner last night that all of our microfibre towels are storing so much debris that they’re leaving hairs and fibres behind. This video just came up as recommended and now I know where we’re going wrong!! Life saver!
You are so welcome!
This is a lot of work. Professional detailers are worth every penny.
I am a diver, and we use these to dry off faster. We always end up hanging them in our lockers to dry, but we use hot water to rinse them. I always feel like they hold nasty things.But they are very useful! Also this video is amazing at explaining step by step. Very detailed video.
Thanks Ava! Yes, microfiber towels are great cleaning tools for picking up moisture and liquids and dirt, but need to be cleaned properly in order to stay effective.
Great tips. Note! Even the lowest clothes dryer heat setting, is usually still full heat, but it blows full heat just for shorter durations than the high heat setting, which is often on continuously.
Washing my Towels with the German PowerWash "Persil" with 60C Degrees for years...all Towels totally fine
Yeah, I have a couple of towels that are good for 60C. The included washing instructions even says to use 60C.
Persil is amazing.
So glad I watched this video. Just bought $50 worth of micro-fiber towels for the garage. I would've likely ruined them before watching this video. I just assumed you'd wash them the same way you wash any other towels. Thanks, and keep the great videos coming, Pan.
Thank you thank you thank you! This was exactly what I needed to know. I just bought my first brand new car and I bought a ton of detailing supplies to take proper care of it. Now I don't have to worry about how to clean all of my new microfibers!

Been washing micros for 15yrs and always used hot water, never had a problem.
U cab wash in hot water just can't use heat to dry
Im sure the swirl marks in your cars says overwise
Correct.
Once again, great video. I had been doing all this but hadn't pre-soaked in a degreaser. WOW! I had to change the soak water twice because this got so much gunk out of the towels. Thanks!
The tip about the heat was a good one. I simply did not know that. As always, I always learn something new from your videos.👍
I've washed my microfiber towels in hot water (and I keep my hot water very hot) many, many times and have not melted anything. The towels come out like new. I do that following the printed instructions that came with my Chemical Guys microfiber towels - those instructions specify HOT water, LOW heat in dryer and no fabric softener sheets.
I have been using 7th Generation non toxic laundry pre treatment for stained MF cloths along with the Micro Restore. Seems to work good. I will put on low temp drying now.
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.
I have a dedicated washer/dryer for my detailing towels... when we did the addition and my wife got her 1st floor laundry room, I got the old washer and dryer in the basement. I also separate my microfibers into categories when I wash them and dry my microfibers on the delicates setting.
I soak the microfibers used in a 5 gallon pail with a water/APC solution to break down any compound/polish/wax/sealant on the towels. I have been using Persil laundry pods for washing.
Fantastic video. I just wash my microfiber towels the rigth way for the first time in my life. I totaly use the knowlege of this video. Two thumbs up Mr. Pan The Organizer . Blessings from LA. 👍👍👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks Ramiro!
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.
Yes! :) Add add vinegar to the softner or bleach dispenser.
Say I have no light detergent
And I don’t want to use powerful detergent, can I just use no detergent and vinegar in the softener and bleach trays?
Thanks, video too long. Just get to the point.
Pan you must have the cleanest house I've ever seen! Do you sleep? Great video!
Imagine the sleep he gets knowing everything’s labeled and in its place, clean as can be. Ahhhh. Sounds niceeeee
Out here being the absolute unit of detailing tutorials ✌️

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!
I use Synthetics drying and select the delicate option.
Works great! Thanks Pan.
ANOTHER genius video Pan. Who needs Google when we have you!! Detailing season is here (almost). Getting the microfiber towels ready for cleaning. Have lots of new ones for paint correction & paint sealing!!
Stay well * Keep it tight * Keep it clean 🇺🇸
Hehe awesome! Thanks! Stay safe!
Hey Pan, great step by step as usual! It worked great for me, Thanks! As I had been away from detailing seriously for some time, microfiber towels are something new for me. I've watched all of your content on or relating to microfiber towels. The results in finish I've achieved using them is top notch. I will definitely be shopping with your links to build my stock up!
😁👍🏻
Hi Pan great video as always, I have tried a few ways to clean my towels but I tried the way you explained in the video and it worked much better thanks for the great advice as always
Amazing. Today I watched the video that was posted three years ago about washing microfiber towels. Now an updated version! Crazy!
Pan, you're great! I just started getting into the detailing world. I agree, it is theraapudic and relaxing. I would like to start my own detailing business some day.
I am learning a lot from your videos. Very informative and professional.
Same! I was watching that old video a few days ago and Bam! A new and updated one came out. As if he knows I was searching for it.
Cool, thanks!
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.
Great tips Joe!
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
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.
Excellent tutorial, this could have not been explained any better.

Now I need to buy all new microfiber towels because apparently I've been doing it wrong for years
I have microfiber towels that are maybe 10 years old and just wash them and dry on normal heat not high or max! Guess what those 10 year old towels still work and look good!
@Pan TheOrganizer, try this tip, it will amaze you. I AIR dry all my Microfiber towels. BUT before you hang them on a drying rack you MUST SNAP the towel. Best method is to simply grab the left corner and the right corner and do a hard quick snaping towel motion. I normally snap the towels straight down. I do EACH towel, rotate the towel 90degrees left, repeat. Do this for all 4 edges of the towel. Once these towels dry they will be 99% new and 10,000 times better then any simple hang dry or electric dryer. If you do this and agree, just give me a shout out for the tip! Trust me you will never dry your towels any other way once you do this. Just remeber to snap as hard as you can, the point is to SNAP those fibers loose from each other when they dry.!! Good luck!
Completely true! I do the same thorough snap and mine have never come out better. Super fluffy, absorbent, brilliantly bright and clean and ready for the next round of cleaning. As microfibre dries so quickly, I just peg them up on an airing rack and they're dry by the next morning. I wash mine in a long soak and wash cycle and my agency cleaner commented that I have the cleanest and best cloths of all her clients! [Previously, I left the cleaning to the helpers and they didn't clean the cloths properly, which resulted in dirt & grime just being smeared here and there - ugh!]
i love this method, thank you.
Thank you Pan!
Now I have to buy all new towels. 😭
🤗❤👍 XOXOX
You are so welcome!
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.
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.
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).
Good Video and good information on keeping it clean!
Pan, thank you for this video! I was wondering about this the other day. Great job. Thanks again.
Thanks Sean!
Tide Free&Gentle has Optical whiteners inside. Just to have on mind.
Thanks for that, as I normally throw them away.... this will save £££'s

Thanks for watching!
Paaaaaan the washer! Good shit as always 👌🏼
LOL!!!!
Thanks for this video Pan I appreciate it!
Glad it was helpful!
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?
I wash my towels after each day regardless how small the load is.
Lol wow pan !
I always thought that use hot water when washing microfiber towels
That’s what I though too lol. No wonder my towels turned to shit
The only problem I have with drying my microfiber towels in the dryer on the lowest heat setting is that they take FOREVER to dry, especially the heavy-weight towels. I like that rack you have there Pan--I usually hang them somewhere in the house.
Thanks Pan.. Would there be any residue left in the washer (wax etc) that would need to be addressed before washing regular clothes again? Perhaps running an empty load to get rid of that? What are your thoughts on this 🤔
Personally ive never ran into this, clothes after an oil change may need a clean out after, but not my microfibers.
I've washed a lot of microfiber towels and I've never noticed any type of residue after washing them, even when they were towels that I used for a wax or sealant. Just my two cents.
@@archiepezek thanks for the info
Personally I take mine to a public laundromat. I do presoak them a day ahead in a microfiber cleaner solution to loosen up anything heavy duty dirt, wring out toss into a laundry basket. Then basically follow the way Pan has describe.
@@bstewartexecutivecarcare6953 good idea
Like that the video has exactly the same model of washing machine that I'll be using to clean my micro fibre towels.
I remember my new microfiber and was sun dried... wow it got toasted and rough!
Yeah same
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?
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...
Hi, Pan! Great video and super tips, as usual!!!
Still some questions, though;
- at 3:00 Where did you get that awesome poster with all the washing symbols?
- at 3:15 How much of the all purpose cleaner / degreaser would you recommend to add to the cold or warm water in the sink?
And last but certainly not least: keep up the awesome work!!!
Greetz & respect from Belgium!
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.
Dry cleaner w/ 16yrs of experience here. Very solid advice and I just want to add a couple of pointers.
Adding acid or what we call “sour” into first rinse is mostly to neutralize and rinse off detergent which tends to be alkali. Doesn’t really boost cleaning. If you want to release grease in wash wheel add some sort of degreaser approved my local municipality to prewash.
Most specialized detergents are mostly cash grab. Use clear kirkland detergent from costco, which is made by Persil. Trick is to use lot less than recommended amount. Every washing machine is different so you need to experiment. How do you know if you’ve use too much? Soak the fabric that came out of the washing machine in warm water. If you see soap residue then you’ll know.
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
best thing I did was buy a set of commercial grade Speed Queens :)
Was there a big difference in washing the clothes? Do tell please!
I remember a few months ago after I was married, with3 children , I got all excited after buying the most expensive WD set at appliance store. Almost exciting as the mini van from a few years ago. How things have changed from my early 20s'!
Alkemy Labs - a local appliance repairman told me Speed Queen was definitely the best brand for washing machines.
How do I lose those agravating hairs from my microfibers? I have a few "glass " microfiber towels an they always leave hairs in my windows
Same here!!!! How do we solve this???
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
I'm glad you are following my advice! :)
I read and was told to get bad stains out of a microfiber towel to bring a pot of vinegar water to a boil put the towels in stirring for a minute and a half in the boiling water, and it works good!
Wait I’m confused you said not to wash in hot water but Adams, Chemical guys, and Ammo say to wash in hot which one do I do??
Wash them the way you think they need to be washed. I've been using different kinds of microfiber cloths in my home ever since they existed. Smoother and fluffier ones, differences in percentages of types of polyester fibers and so forth. Since I use them for cleaning, they get dirty and need to be thoroughly washed and thoroughly rinsed. I stopped watching the video after he grabbed the detergent, claiming you need a mild one. Honestly that makes about as much sense as advising people to wash cloth diapers in cold water with only a quarter of the recommended amount of detergent to prevent build up of detergent. That will not work. There might not be any build up of detergent but there morst certainly will be build up of dirt if you do it that way. That's one sensible thing from this video, to set the machine to do an extra rinse and to pre soak very dirty cloths.
Here's how I see it. I'm not about to waste a full washing cycle just for the small amount of cleaning cloths I use in a week. So the cloths have always been mixed with other stuff. I still have some cloths from over 10 years ago and they are still very absorbant and soft, but wearing out. I wash all my cleaning cloths, including the microfiber ones, on a 60 degree celcius full cycle, they go in with our bed sheets, bath towels, tea towels etc. They come out clean, soft and absorbent. I do not have a dryer so everything is line dried. I don't use fabric softener, that's a no-no with microfiber, but I put white vinegar in the fabric softener compartment instead. All the different kinds of microfiber cloths I have are holding up wonderfully.
I usually use the 40 °C setting when washing microfibre towels, the labels on some of them even say that 60 °C would be possible. Never had any problems with that so far. However I do use the low heat setting with the gentle option on my dryer and I add a few tennis balls, so the towels become extra fluffy.
Out of all of this, im more curious about where you got those damn cabinets! LOL

Thanks Jim! I appreciate the feedback! 😁👍🏻
If you have a dryer and drying racks, I like to take the towels off the drying racks when done and tumble them for 5 minutes on low heat to "puff" them up.
I get it now…it was the fabric softeners and the heat from the dryer🤯🤯🤯🤯. As always, you’ve taught me something new again. Thanks Pan👍🏽
You are so welcome!
For people who live in the real world, quick cycle on 30 Degrees C at full rpm, usually works out at around 45 minutes on an LG machine. Air drying is best inside or out
Followup msg...used all your microfiber wash and dry techniques...truly the BEST, softest, plushest my microfiber towels ever were...both old and new towels. May i ADD 2 more suggestions: 1. Heavily soiled rags, add a few squirts of SPRAY N WASH , cold or even warm water does not clean towels without this very well, 2. If u cannot wait for multiple tumble air dry cycles or rack drying....set up a drying rack next to a basement dehumidifier if u have one....mine is on a timer to save electricity, two 2 hr cycles per day, towels dry in 24 hrs.
I don't really do anything with the car but this was very helpful as I really had no clue about the composition and why I was constantly destroying microfiber items. Thanks for this!
Thanks for the feedback Dana!
Just a tiny bit of correction, and I’m glad I learned the melting point of microfiber, so thank you. I’m a Detailer who just so happens to have spent the last decade as a plumber. Plumbers, at least here in Texas, will as a standard set water heaters in residential homes to 120°F. Because anything over 130 can and will scald you. We NEVER set water heaters to 140°F. It’s too hot for anyone, dangerous for children and elderly folks, and it isn’t great for the hoses and/or plastic parts of the tank either. Otherwise, great info!
Yeah, so I would simply stay away from the hot setting in the washer, and use cold or warm. The most important thing here is to use the lowest heat setting or no heat in the dryer.

Great tips. Especially the fabric softener one. Fabric softeners destory the fabric of not just the microfiber towels but also your clothes, they become more stretchy over time and less water absorbent which can cause your body sweat to just stay on your skin.
I soak mine in dawn soap in a 5 gallon pail. If it can take crude oil off of a seagull, it can clean grease from a towel and it’s cheap.
Thanks for this.

@@PanTheOrganizer Google search... BTY, Do I select the lowest water level setting for washing 5 or 6 towels?
Helpful hint if you air dry your microfiber towels. Those thick drying towels can take days to dry out. They hold so much water, that the spin cycle of the washing machine can't remove all the water. So, my suggestion is to place a couple containers of moisture absorber, either DampRid or the generic Dollar Tree equivalent, on top of or under the drying rack. They will absorb a lot of the humidity from the towels, and will speed up the drying process. I found that the towels dried faster after I started placing moisture absorbers on the drying rack.
Great tip for those who air dry their towels!
I have a car detailing business and I hope this will extend my rag life more
Absolutely. Especially if you wash your new towels before their first use (ALWAYS wash new towels before the first use) and then you will care for them following this tutorial.

wow dude... just watched this in Walmart wondering what to do and you totally cleared everything up
I'm glad you show you can use Tide free and clear . And the detailer that is in Dallas , Texas uses Cheer Clear All . Because microfiber detergent seems to be very expensive , cheapest I have found is 3D at $25.00 a gallon .
My favorite microfiber detergent, by far, is this newer one: amzn.to/43puC1G
You can get it in a gallon size, and you only use about 1 oz per wash for normal loads, so it's super cheat in the long run.

I just invested in a really nice set of microfiber cloths and haven’t washed them yet. Your tips are well timed! I want them to last.
As far as washing them, my cloths are important for my household cleaning and I had to research ways to make do. I wish I’d found your video a few years ago.
I have hard water and have a front loading machine. My detergent alone wasn’t able to provide clean smelling cloths. I found it necessary to use washing soda, but powders don’t dissolve well in my unit. I found that it seemed my cloths didn’t feel or smell clean, which is important since I have a specific set for the accidents and messes of my special needs dog.
I first soak my microfiber cloths in a tub in warm water. I add a teaspoon of Arm and Hammer’s Super Washing Soda, which unfortunately wreaks havoc on my hands. I use a plunger specifically for the laundry tub to give them good but gentle wash. I then drain water and run clear water. Another go with the plunger and drain. I move them via a bucket into the washer and wash them by themselves. For detergent I use a teaspoon of Persil. I always select Express wash with extra rinse.
They come out smelling and feeling clean. I throw them in the dryer on low heat.
My cloths have lasted years and I will never go back to plain cloths.
I’m on a limited income and try to take care of my things. Until I found the super washing soda, it felt like my towels and microfiber cloths weren’t getting clean.
Thank you for the tips on care! I so appreciate it! Next month I will budget for a gentler detergent. It makes sense!
SO happy that you demo'd this with my new washer/dryer model!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Pan, did this just today, it's nice to have clean towels ready for the next car wash.

I am completely amazed by how that half a cup of vinegar revitalizes my towels! It makes all the difference in the world! Thank you!
