What should I use to clean microfiber cloths?
As the title states, I'm not really sure what to use to clean my microfibers so it'll be clean to use on my cars paint without scratching or leaving any residue of any cleaners. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I use a detergent called micro-restore. Autogeek and detailed image both sell various detergents for microfibers. I wash in cool water, and dry on the lowest setting in the dryer, which provides air not much above ambient. It is really worth the extra effort to maintain them properly.

Never use any fabric softener or detergent. If you did, they might be ruined.
I've heard that you can use a solution of vinegar and boiling water to bring them back to the original softness.
Otherwise, I just use a mixture of simple green and vinegar in a small load in the washing machine. Let them air dry and they are good as new. Do not put them in the dryer on any setting.

With the amount of money I have invested in my MF's and my customers expectations, that's a chance I'm not willing to take. If I had a dedicated dryer for my detailing then maybe, but that's not in the cards at the moment and with hang drying in a controlled environment I know they will right. But what works for me might not work for someone else so I understand.

-Wash with a small amount of liquid detergent only
-Rinse twice and add some distilled white vinegar to the second cycle
-Air fluff until very slightly damp
No powders, no softener, no high heat (static), and no dryer sheets
