Ive bought a bio liquid detergent instead of a non bio  :cry: is it a big no no?

Hasn't make a difference so far for me. Just no fabric softener as mentioned.

I have washed my batch of microfibres as stated and now they seem to leave fluff on the car when cleaning, didn't happen before I washed them. Have I done something wrong? 40Deg Liquid detergent.

Dont know what brand, just cheapo ones, I just hung them out to dry afterwards.

Probably just cos there cheap. Used some others since from the same wash and they are fine.

Thinking its maybe the surface of the car + being so cold.

you cant beat brand new microfibres

a problem i find, is that no matter how well and detailed i wash the car, when it comes to drying, i seem to still drag up dirt and stain the towel with what seems like oil

just asking the ball and chain what shes uses when washing my cleaning stuff, its non bio at 40 degrees
