Older WWs

Older as in what :confused: My older ones are still OK after a few years' worth of use.



If they somehow got too soiled/etc. for me to use them on the (regular) paint I'd use them to dry wheels, under the hood, the undercarriage areas that show, etc. Or I'd use them to dry the dogs...that's probably what'll end up happening with mine.
 
I think windows, but it depends on the condition of the WWs. If really bad, then the wheels or jambs (or dogs :chuckle: ).
 
It still absorbs well, but not like when it was brand new. Yes, I wash it, but still.... I might use it as a QD or for windows. Sorry, I have a cat.
 
Well, a WW would dry a cat pretty well too :D But ours never seemst to get all that wet...



Have you tried the MF-specific/Charlie's soaps and multiple (as in a *lot*) rinses with vinegar? I brought back a BBT that I thought was stiff and unabsorbent.

I have a bunch of new WWs, so using another is no big deal. My cat does not get wet, besides ever try to wash a cat, mine would rip my arms to shreads, lol
 
Have you tried washing it with a MF restoring detergent? Maybe it would regain its absorbency?



I haven't had to do this yet. My WWs are still going strong.

No, just Liquid Free Tide. Besides it's no big deal I have plenty of WWs to use.
 
Heh heh, yeah, I wouldn't want to try washing *our* cat either! But when she's wet from outdoors she doesn't mind getting toweled off :D



I was surprised at how much better the MF-specific detergents worked. I was prepared to say "snake oil!" but they convinced me with their performance.

That's nice to know, might give them a try someday.
 
SpoiledMan- Yeah, I plan on trying the Charlie's. No point in spending more than I have to if I can get the same results! You can bet I'll be impressed if the Charlie's works as well for me as it has for others.



Wonder if the Charlie's is "High Efficiency compatible" :confused: We have one of those washers in the house for non-automotive stuff and I'd also be interested in using the Charlie's for our household towels.



White95Max- After I started using the MicroRestore/etc. my MFs lost the stiffness they'd been plagued by. I was getting frustrated by my MFs, especially the WWs getting a bit stiff (worried about marring the S8 and the Jag). A few washes with the MicroRestore with vinegar in the final rinse and they were all just like new. Nice and clean too.



My only hesitation in trying Charlies is that I wonder if it's just an odd combination of my (sorta crappy, even with our filters and softeners) water, the washing machines I use, etc. that happens to *work* with the MicroRestore. It wouldn't surprise me if changing any variable (such as the detergent) changed the results. But I'm so confident that the Charlie's is good stuff that I've started mentioning it in posts like this one.
 
I bought a gallon in mid December for my MF towels and it's pretty much gone as the wife likes it much better than Tide. With 4 of us in the house and me going through 2 changes of clothes on many days we wash a lot of clothes. I'll be ordering the 5 gallon real soon.;)
 
SpoiledMan- Thanks for nudging me on the Charlies. I just revisited their website and saw that is *is* HE compatible. So I ordered a gallon and I'm looking forward to comparing it with my MicroPak and our regular HE version of Cheer.



Heh heh, I dunno if I want to use it on *all* the household laundry. We run a lot of loads (an seemingly insane number for two people). But it's not like I usually go back to something inferior when I find a product I really like :o Luckily for me it'll be my call as I do a lot more of the laundry than my wife does (she knows how particular I am so it's easier for both of us if I just toss her stuff in with mine ;) ).
 
Glad I could help:) The free shipping on that really helps out as I think I read that the shipping weight is 54 pounds!

I'd like to see how impressed you are after trying Charlie's Soap Laundry Detergent for $20 a gallon.:D

We use it for our everyday laundry.

Cleaning - Well, what can you say, the clothes are clean.

Sensory - No dyes, no perfumes

$/use - @128 washes per gallon = about the same cost/use as some of the lower priced detergents and better than some of the higher priced brands.

Intangibles - To your door delivery (shipping included in the price) Buy 2 or more gallons at a time (IIRC there was a per gallon discount when purchased in multiple units) and of course depending on your family's size, you can do a lot of laundry without running back to the store for more laundry soap.
 
Mr. Clean- Hey, haven't seen you around here for a while.



Check out that link that SpoiledMan put up. Looks like a real bargain.
