Heijneker Posted July 23, 2022 Author Share Posted July 23, 2022 Just wanted to reiterate how awesome this product is. The other dat I cleaned out my sneakers with Bilt Hamber Surfex in a bucket of water and a lot of rinsing and drying. I even used some vinegar to neutralize the Surfex. I must have used about 50l (13 gallons) of water. Came out looking near-new and smelled great. The next day I wore them again, and noticed they would very quickly become dirty again. They would easily stain from touching something dusty. So I decided to try Optimum Carpet cleaner @1:3 sprayed on, and scrubbed with a MF scrub mitt wet from ONR (best way of cleaning fabric I've found). Then drying with a towel and they were dry the next day. Now a couple of days later, they still look great and clean. They don't attract dirt, which the previous cleaning with Surfex certainly did. And I used the ONR solution I just cleaned my two cars with and then threw it in the plants! Magic in a bottle! I'm still looking for a better way to clean my MF towels. No matter what they lose absorbency from new. Could I use this product in the washing machine? Worth a try! LostVulpine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostVulpine Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 @Heijneker I'm just about to tackle some fabric with my bottle of this that has sat on the shelf for quite a while without a proper use, I was just wondering what mitt it was that you have found to be a good pairing with the cleaner? Second of all, thanks for all of these write ups, makes me actually get these things out and use them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not the authority on fabric clean and protect but it makes sense to me that if you use it on mf towels there will be an anti staining residue left which would defeat the purpose of mf towels. Furthermore, the rag company has a dedicated mf towel cleaner called rags to riches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 have always felt that was the difference between cheap Walmart microfibers and quality towels - cheap towels lose microfiber characteristics like absorbency, no linting, etc much sooner the the good ones. Dr G recommends adding 1/4 cup of Power Clean to your wash load to clean/restore microfiber towels. Tug Bankert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMidnightNarwhal Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Wow! Thanks for this post. I've been trying to simplify and perfect my product lineup and realised I was missing something for carpets and fabrics. I ordered some OPC to in my order but reading around doesn't seem like the best idea as it can dirty it back. This seems like the perfect choice.
