🧼 How to Wash Your Microfiber Towels (and Keep Them Like New)
Your microfiber towels are the backbone of your detailing arsenal. But if you’re tossing them in the wash like regular laundry, you’re cutting their lifespan short—and probably leaving streaks behind on your next detail.
Here’s the right way to wash and care for your microfiber towels so they stay soft, absorbent, and ready to perform like Day 1.
✅ Step 1: Sort Your Towels
Keep your drying towels, polish removal towels, and interior towels separate. Washing them together can transfer wax, polish, or dirt onto your cleaner towels.
✅ Step 2: Use the Right Detergent
Regular laundry detergents contain fabric softeners and additives that clog the fibers of your towels. That’s why we created Phantom Revive Microfiber Detergent—formulated to:
-
Remove dirt, wax, and residue effectively.
-
Protect the towel’s softness and absorption.
-
Extend the life of your investment.
💡 Tip: Always use warm water (not hot) to protect the delicate fibers.
✅ Step 3: Wash Like a Pro
-
Use a gentle cycle.
-
Avoid bleach and fabric softeners (both ruin microfiber).
-
Rinse twice if possible to ensure no detergent residue is left behind.
✅ Step 4: Dry Properly
Air drying is ideal, but if you use a dryer:
-
Set it to low or no heat.
-
Skip the dryer sheets—they coat your towels with residue.
🚨 Pro Tip:
Never wash your microfiber towels with cotton or other fabrics. Lint from these materials will stick to your towels and ruin their performance.
