If microfibers were unable to be cleaned via detergents and water we’d all be throwing them out after each use. Or using 5 towels to one car. Or just being silly with resources.
Logically, it doesn’t make sense. It was a runaway idea that started 4 years ago and nobody has thought about it. Or really tested its validity (which isn’t very difficult to do).
None off the suggestions I give are just regurgitated from some forum. I was merely giving it off of my own experience.
Have you ever given a dry or even just a damp wipedown of an interior and caught something like a slilver of wood or a dust particle or even like that random dandelion floating seed in the MF and had to manually pick it out by hand?
I couldnt agree more that if MFs were unable to be cleaned, they would be too expensive to use.
However I know that compared to my preference, a sheepskin mitt, microfiber mitts aside from the chenille ones are not deep but have that stickyness that makes MFs so effective at cleaning. Sheepskins release harder particles(think wood slivers or even tiny pebbles) significantly easier than MFs do in my use with them. Now imagine if you picked up one of those in a regular MF mit on your first swipe of a panel. You could potenially swirl the daylights out of half a panel until you rinsed it, and thats assuming that it releases whatever it was easily. Again, I wasnt trying to argue something we both agree on, just getting him to turn his wheels.
Griff, ditch the waterblade. If you suspect its your drying, then its the blade is a major culprit. Open end hose flood rinse after you spray rinse and blot with your mf towel
