Microfibre WASH+....Is It Really Needed??

[P17 TOO]

Title says it all really!

Nearly used my bottle I bought and just wondering if it's really needed as with postage from CleanYourCar it's fairly expensive?? Is it fine washing my microfibres, pads etc in normal washing powder i.e. aerial biological?? If it is would some vanish powder do any harm in with it??

Thanks

It's not needed as most of the pros will tell you!

Trouble with powder is that you have to make sure it's all properly dissolved.

I'm certainly no pro but I just put mine in the machine....

Put them in the machine with no fabric softner and let them dry naturally (not on a radiator) and they will come out just the same.

As above. For how cheap they are now, I sometimes just chuck them when they get too soiled!

i use woolite, from local home bargains/wilkos



does the job nicely for cleaning microfibres

White vinegar.

Lot of crap. Any washing powder, 60deg done.

It's the dryer that destroys any static charge the MFs have. Hence the naturally drying part.

I just put them in at 40 deg or above with no deterents what so ever. I also let them air dry.

I use liquid washing stuff, no powder or fabric conditioner, left to dry naturally.

Any Non Bio liquid is fine.

Any Non Bio liquid is fine.

:-s really I always put all mine into the wash with what ever I've most recently bought for washing my clothes, usually some sort of gel based washing stuff. Is this wrong then?

Don't use powder as Markie said, as it won't disperse as well as a liquid cleaner.

Other than that, you shouldn't have an issue. Mine don't last long. Few uses and they get demoted to glass duty, then wheels, tyres etc. Then bin!

Flol, Mine are all bagged separately, they go: Bodywork - Glass - Wheels - Engine bay/Tire shine/Glue and Tar rag.

I need to sort my life out.

Mate, don't even start. Anal isn't the word. I have separate products (including bottled products) for my own car and clients/family cars.

Haha, I'm not quite that bad, but I use the better/cleaner of my stuff on friends/family/colleagues cars, and the older on mine? Do you do the same or opposite?

 

[JD]

Neither really, I use the same stuff most of the time, that's why it's . . . retarded. Two cans of Tardis, one for clients/family the other for my car alone. Same product, same use, different "uses" lol.
