Bleaching microfiber towels

hey,
i was wondering if it's ok to use clorox when washing microfiber towels?
most of my microfiber towels have black marks on there from dirt, or whatever I used them on last, and i miss that clean look on them, and i fear that the dirt is still on there and will come off on my paint
thanks

Don't use the bleach, or fabric softener.
Pre-soak the dirty areas with laundry detergent, or Micro-Restore products.
Scrub the dirty areas by hand with the pre-soak still on the towels.
Wash them in hot water.
Add some distilled vinegar to the rinse water... teaspoon or so per towel.
Rinse them again with no vinegar. Check the rinse water... if it is still "sudsy", rinse them again.
Dry them with medium heat, or air dry.

They will be clean, soft, and will work great.

This is one of those things you need to know how to do b/c a GF can jack up some expensive MF's.

Take care of your toys....use that anyway you want.

This maybe a no no, sorry but this is where I get it http://www.specialtymotoring.com/mf-1011.html

I used it 100% but found it works better if I use it 50/50 with regular detergent.

Cheers
