Wash them hot as well... I find that 30/40 doesnt cut it.

I tend to soak them in chemical guys microfibre wash for 30 mins then stick into washing machine. Add a few splashes of white vinegar and one of those liquid capsules. Wash, spin and then tumble dry.

Can't go wrong with the Costco MF's. Excellent value. For those spending a bit extra, the purple monsters from CleanYourCar are excellent too
