Don't use fabric softener on microfiber towels!

Microfiber cloth that is indispensable for my Porsche car wash

Since I fell in love with Porsche 911, now I also love to wash my favorite Porsche 911 by hand with my own hands, and anyway, I'm done washing the car while talking about love to Porsche 911 at night I am.

I believe that no one can wash my Porsche with more affection than I do, so I can't convince myself if I don't wash it with the utmost affection (wash it cleanly). More psychological theory (laughs) than whether or not there is.

Porsche 911 has glass coating and wheel coating

However, my Porsche 911 car wash is very easy,The body has a glass coating, On the wheelI have a wheel coatingSo, anyway, it's just a simple "washing with water".

By the way, both glass coating and wheel coating are done at the Porsche Center.

It's already shiny and really great. Glass coating is unconditionally recommended, and wheel coating is also unconditionally recommended for those who wash their cars by themselves ^ ^

Costco's microfiber towels that can be used very much

By the way, what is indispensable for my car wash isCostcoMicrofiber cloths purchased at.

This Costco cross,Actually, it's not just the Porsche CenterI see that it is also used by various car makers ^ ^

This is Costco's microfiber cloth. Kirkland is the Costco brand name ↓ * Before using it for car washing, the tag is always cut so as not to damage the car with the tag.

With this microfiber cloth, first of all, the car is soaked with plenty of water, and then the body is cleaned with water soaked microfiber.

Hold the bucket in one hand, soak the microfiber in water once and wipe it once, then soak it in water and wipe it once again.

After cleaning the body with water, wipe off the water with a number of dry, clean microfibers.

Wipe lightly first, then wipe second, third, fourth, finish ... e? Are you nervous?

No, it's actually a techie ... Let's hide what it is, B type! (I'm sorry for B type people (laughs)).

However, as for Porsche 911, I like that it becomes beautiful without a single drop of water or traces of water.

If you need as many microfibers as you want, use them generously. If there are even a few drops of water on the body, the body will be left behind, so if the towel gets wet, replace it with a new one.

And here are my car wash microfiber towels. The degree of metamorphosis is quite high (laughs)? What ^^ ↓ The front is almost for cleaning new, and the back is for washing, so can you see that it is getting dirty little by little?

It's getting dirty ... but I've used it many times to wash my car, but I haven't thrown away any of it yet. It's been about 2 years since I bought it? Even though it's standing.

Because, if you use this microfiber cloth in one car wash, you will immediately collect and wash only the microfiber cloths, so it may be a car wash that is already washed and coated with water. After washing the used towel, it will return to look like new.

The repetition. At last, there is something that has become a little dirty.

This is like corn, but a close-up view of microfiber ↓ Isn't it still beautiful? ?? Even with this, I have used it many times.

However, it's ok.

I just happened to see an article.

that isUse Microfiber Towels To Clean Your HomeThe article is about microfiber.

The shocking fact for me that was written there ... Ah. I've done it.

Do not use fabric softener or bleach on microfiber

Yes, it said, "Don't use fabric softener or bleach on microfiber cloth."

Yeah yeah. No, I used to use Downey! !! !! Because it's more fluffy ... I'm sure that the fluffy one is kind to the car ...

But, in other words, this microfiber uses the "Van der Waals force" to wipe off dirt cleanly with fine fibers. →Learn more about Van der Waals forces..

You can only get close to this on your smartphone, but is this the table? ↓

And I wonder if this is the back ↓

Well, roughly speaking, using fabric softener gives a soft and fluffy finish, but in reality, it suppresses the "static electricity" that microfiber exerts its original power.

That's right. I never thought about it.

Also, since these fine fibers are sensitive to heat, it is not possible to use a dryer at high temperatures.

For me, who has never dried laundry outside in my life, laundry = dryer is the norm, but only this car wash microfiber is washed and then dried in the bathroom. I dried it, and when it was dry, I put it in the dryer for 15 minutes to remove dust and make it fluffy.

so! !! !!

This time, I looked at the explanation of the tag attached to this towel again (it's a lie, well, actually for the first time (laughs)). It was written.

• Do not use fabric softener

It's written.

As for the dryer, it seems OK if it is "low heat", so if I take a little 15 minutes at the end, it will not be so hot, so I think it was okay.

No, the microfibers that have used fabric softener so far are used for cleaning the house for the time being, and new ones for Porsche are taken down, and in the future it will definitely be

• Do not use fabric softener
• No bleach
• Do not tumble dry

I want to manage it thoroughly! !! (I haven't done it before, but I don't iron it and don't dry clean it, too ^^)

After that, it seems that liquid detergent is better (because powder detergent may leave residue in the fiber). It was good because the detergent was a liquid ^^

You have to look at how to handle it properly.

In the case of microfiber for car wash (for example, wiping water), I do not know how much the result of the usage will differ depending on whether or not the fabric softener is used, but for the time being, I have to read the handling instructions properly. That's for sure, and I'd like to be careful in the future!

I want to meet you.

Oh, it's about 911. Should I wash it?It's still beautiful because it's not runningOr ... ^^
