When you purchase microfiber towels wholesale for your car wash, car dealership or other business you will want to establish a solid cleaning technique since you will be washing and drying a bulk amount of car wash towels. Microfiber towels have similar washing and drying instruction to regular towels you may use for purposes non-related to auto care. However, there are a few differences in the care process associated with these lint free auto towels.

Before washing the towels you must fully understand what they are made of. This knowledge will help you give them the best cleaning routine. A well cared for towel will last longer. Microfiber is a textile that is mostly composed of nylon, Kevlar and nomex. These are very strong materials that are woven tightly into an extremely thin strand. The typical microfiber strand is thinner than a human hair. While these sound like harsh textiles you can rest assured that they create an ultra-plush end result. The fiber is soft but it also is designed to have open spaces in the fibers. These open spaces effectively trap dust, dirt and small pieces of debris. To clean a towel while it is use you simply saturate it with water and wring it out. Microfiber is a textile that is designed to hold sometimes up to seven times its weight in water. The open spaces in the fibers allow for water to be trapped within the towel. These same open spaces also trap dirt and dust. While cleaning your car you will notice the dirt and dust does not smear around on the exterior of the car. This is because it is safely trapped within the towel. Standard towels will not trap the dust, dirt and debris; these towels will simply move it around the surface of the cars exterior and create streak marks and small scratches.

Understanding how absorbent and particle trapping these car wash rags are will help understand how to properly wash and dry them. The two most important things to remember during the washing and drying process is first, no fabric softeners and secondly no heat during the dry. We’ll explain why these two cleaning rules are so important.

Car detailing towels should be washed in medium to large sized loads. The friction created by the towels rubbing against each other combined with the whirling motion of the washers’ agitator or drum will release any locked in dirt and grime. When you purchase car wash supplies you need to add laundry detergent to the list. Standard laundry detergents without fabric softeners are acceptable for sanitizing Autotowels’ microfiber lint free rags, car drying towels and car detailing towels. When washing these towels the washing machines’ setting should be for one water setting higher than the size of the load. Because these towels are so absorbent they can and will trap in a good amount of water during the wash process. This water will be easily spun out during the spin cycle. A second spin cycle is highly recommended. This will properly dispel any trapped water from the open spaces in the fiber. Microfiber needs to be washed in warm or hot water temperatures to produce optimal clean results.

It is extremely important to pay attention to the ingredients in the laundry detergent that microfiber towels are being cleansed in. Microfiber cannot be washed with any detergents that contain fabric softener. The fabric softener will work its way into the open spaces of the microfiber and clog the fabric. When the fabric is clogged is it unusable. Bleach and alkaline should not be used during the washing process. Microfiber should also only be washed with microfiber. The microfiber is designed to trap dirt,

debris and lint. If it is washed with cotton or other lint producing fabrics it will perform its intended purpose even during the washing cycle. The microfiber will grab ahold of any lose textile particles and hold on to those during the wash.

Drying microfiber is just as simple as washing it. The microfiber towels should be either air dried or dried on a low or no heat setting. Dryer sheets should never be used on microfiber. The anti-static and fabric softening properties will work in the same way that liquid fabric softeners would. The dryer sheets will clog the absorbency properties of the towels and render them useless until properly cleaned again. Microfiber should only be dried with microfiber. If these towels are dried with other fabrics they will attract the lint, fuzz and loose strings from the other textiles. The microfiber towels from Autotowels.com dry extremely quickly.
