Re: How do you wash your car towels? (user name unknown)
For towels used, terry cloth, wash the ones you use for wax removal, cleaning of interior, etc in any good detergent and warm water.
Once the washing is complete, rewash, but use two cups of vinegar in place of the detergent, warm cycle.
This removes most of the chemicals from the towels.
For towels used for "glass only", always keep glass towels for glass only, wash them seperate from the other towels, same way.
Dry seperately, NO SOFTENER< in the Glass towels. Softeners are silicone based and may cause streaking of the glass.
I suggest you obtain some used surgical towels, or also known as "huck" towels for your glass, not terry cloth. Will clean the glass better, and no lint.
Fold these towels into quarters, use one to agitate the glass cleaner, in striaght lines and a second, folded to remove in striaght lines, not circles.
If you have micro fibers, wash in warm water and detergent, no softener, and NO BLEACH, dry on low setting, also seperate from all other towels.
It is important to wash and dry, seperately each type of towel, and what their use is from each other. This elimentates "cross contamination" of products in towels.
