P&S Rags to Riches is a next-generation microfiber laundry detergent engineered specifically for detailing towels, chamois, and all automotive-grade fabrics. Developed in collaboration with The Rag Company, it goes far beyond standard detergents — deep cleaning fibres while restoring the absorbency, softness, and colour that waxes, sealants, and polishes slowly destroy. Whether you’re a professional detailer washing a daily pile of towels or an enthusiast protecting a single show car, Rags to Riches keeps your microfiber performing like new.

How to Use P&S Rags to Riches

1. Sort your laundry. Wash microfiber separately from cotton items — cotton lint embeds in microfiber fibres and is very difficult to remove. Separate dark-coloured towels from light-coloured towels to avoid dye transfer.

2. Check the soil level. For lightly soiled towels, proceed directly to the machine. For heavily soiled towels or those used with ceramic sprays, spray sealants, or wax products, go to step 3 first.
3. Pre-soak (heavily soiled or hydrophobic towels). Fill a bucket with warm water and add 30–60ml of Rags to Riches. Submerge the towels and allow them to soak for 30–60 minutes. This breaks down hydrophobic residue before the wash cycle.

4. Load the machine. Don't overfill — towels need room to move freely to clean properly. Add 30ml for a small or lightly soiled load, or 60ml for a large load. Pour directly into the detergent dispenser or drum.
5. Select your settings. Use warm water (30–40°C is ideal). Do not use hot water — high temperatures can damage microfiber fibres over time. Select a normal wash cycle.

6. Never use fabric softener. Fabric softener — liquid or any softening additive — coats fibres with a waxy residue that permanently reduces absorbency. Do not add it to any microfiber wash, ever.

7. Dry carefully. Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or hang to dry. Do not iron. Avoid high heat, which can degrade the polyamide component of split microfiber over time.

Pro Tip: If your towels are still beading water after washing (hydrophobic), repeat the pre-soak step with fresh Rags to Riches solution. Towels with heavy ceramic or sealant contamination sometimes need two wash cycles to fully restore absorbency. Pair with our TRC Europe microfiber towels — engineered to the same standard that Rags to Riches was built to restore.

Why Detailers Trust P&S Rags to Riches

Removes hydrophobic contamination: Modern spray sealants, ceramic coatings, and quick detailers leave behind water-repelling chemistry that clogs microfiber fibres and causes smearing. Rags to Riches is specifically formulated to break down and flush these hydrophobic compounds — restoring true absorption where standard detergents fail.

Restores softness and absorbency: Over time, residue from polishes, waxes, and oils bonds deep into microfiber's split-fibre structure. Rags to Riches penetrates and lifts this build-up, leaving towels noticeably softer, brighter, and more effective after a single wash.

Highly concentrated formula: You only need 30–60ml per load. One bottle goes a long way, making Rags to Riches one of the most cost-effective microfiber wash solutions available — especially in the large 3.78L size for high-volume detailers.

Safe for all fibre types: Rags to Riches is safe on all textile types — microfiber, cotton, chamois, and other fabric blends. It contains no bleach, optical brighteners, or fabric softening agents that would compromise performance.

Compatible with all washing machines: Formulated for standard and high-efficiency (HE) washing machines, including front-loaders common in European homes and commercial laundry facilities. Low-foam formula prevents HE machine issues.

Developed alongside the world's leading microfiber brand: P&S and The Rag Company co-developed Rags to Riches specifically around the contamination challenges detailing towels face. This isn't a repurposed household product — it was built for our towels, from the ground up.
