    microfibre stuff e.g. drying towel, cloths, etc.

    Does anyone have any recommendations, I have read you can machine wash on low temp with non biological liquids? Any thoughts folks...

    Thats what I do anyway. Low temp on a 30 wash with non-bio powder. I also put my applicator pads and wash mitts in at the same time.

    Post edited 'cos MrsP tells me I'm talking rubbish as usual. It seems... "You never wash the cloths so how would you know". She has a fair point.

    So, we just use a bit of oxy clean powder in our micro fibre cloths and applicator pads washes. No detergent, no softener.
