Is the Micro-Restore Detergent the best Towel cleaner for your Towels?

I wash our towels on warm, then do maximum spin cycle which gets them almost dry, then toss them in the dryer on low heat. Since we have tons of towels, I break ours up into various loads: polishing towels, washing/drying towels, interior & glass towels, and "dirty" towels (ie wheels, engine bay, exhaust tip, etc. towels). If you don't have enough towels to make it worth breaking into separate loads, I would at least do your dirtier towels separate from your towels that touch paint/delicate areas.

Some good general information on care from MicrofiberTech
Microfiber towel washing instructions to keep your microfiber "like new":
Microfiber products do not like bleach. Washing microfiber towels with bleach breaks down the polyester and polyamide micro-filaments, rendering them less effective.
Fabric softeners provide a layer of "softeness" on your clothing, which is nice for clothing that you wear, but this coating clogs the microfibers, rendering them less effective.
It is not that microfiber products do not like cotton products or other fabrics, it is that when you are cleaning microfiber cloth with your cotton products the microfiber will grab and hold onto the lint that the cotton produces. So if you do not want your microfiber towels to lint then you should not wash them with cotton products.

I've went away from Micro-Restore and went towards just a liquid detergent that are free from dyes and other chemicals. I'll also add some distilled vinegar to give the microfibers that plush feel again.
