Does anyone, (c76jon hello!!) have any recomendations as to how to wash and clean microfibres. Ive tried by machine and by hand but as yet I cant seem to bring them back to how they were the first time I used them to buff off wax.

Should I be using a particular method?

i use the cheapest washing powder i can find in tesco's (about 3p for 4 tonnes) and put them on a 40 deg wash, seems to work alright for me? :D

I put one lot in the washing machine and theres others that Ive hand washed... but there was no noticable difference in the results.

The difference in how they perform on the car with regards how they did first day being that now I seem to have to work harder with them to both take off the wax and get a good shine...
