Default where to purchase microfiber cleaner?

I wanted some micro-fiber cleaner and wanted to know which major chain stores normally stock this stuff. (Preferably in the los angeles area)

Chances are you're not going to find any microfiber detergent in stores anywhere (unless you have a detailing specialty store nearby).

Your best bet would just be to order it online from autogeek.net or autopia-carcare.com

In case you need to clean towels immediately, you should be able to use liquid Woolite.

Start the washer filling with warm water, and add the liquid detergent. Add your towels and let the machine do its thing. After it's finished, set it back to do the rinse cycle again, add a cup of vinegar (to help the detergent rinse out) and allow to finish rinsing.

Throw the towels in the dryer on the lowest heat setting for as long as it takes them to become almost dry, but still with just a tad bit of moisture around. Then allow them to dry completely outside the dryer while you're folding them. Just be sure not to throw them in plastic bags before they are completely dry.

What I recommended to all my customers was don't waste money on a cleaner, just use a mild, unscented liquid detergent... make sure its not powder.

And to dry just hang them dry, but if you must put them in the dryer make sure its on the lowest heat.

I use woolite and have been happy with the results. Make sure you don't use dryer sheets (if you must dry them in the drier), but hanging dry is best. Buying special detergent seems a little over the top (but we are the W&W Wacko's )

Woolite or Dreft works well. I put vinegar in the rinse cycle with an extra rinse.

What happens when you just run the towels through the washer with detergent ? Thats what I have been doing. Does it shorten the life of the towels ?
