Microfibre cloths are superb at so many cleaning tasks however often they get misused and end up in the bin way before they should be.
Things to avoid:
- Avoid hot water
- Avoid fabric softener
- Avoid laundry detergent
- Avoid all cleaning chemicals/products
- Avoid cleaning alongside other fabrics
- Avoid using clothes dryer if mixing with other items
- If it drops on the floor don’t use EVER AGAIN to clean anything that is important (e.g. car paintwork, glass, work surfaces)
- Avoid ironing
Things to do:
- Use warm/cold water to clean. Nothing else.
- Hand wash for best performance, let them soak and then agitate.
- If you must use a washing machine then ensure it’s alongside other non-linting synthetic materials and on a cold/warm setting
- Leave to air-dry for the best performance longterm
- If you insist on drying in the tumble dryer, ensure you clean the whole thing out to remove any build up of lint ensuring you don’t mix with other items).
