To clean a microfiber cloth effectively:
- Wash microfiber cloths separately from other fabrics, especially those that shed lint like cotton, to avoid lint transfer.
- Shake out excess dirt and dust from the cloths before washing.
- Use a fragrance-free, mild detergent without fabric softener or bleach, as fabric softeners clog the fibers and reduce effectiveness.
- Wash in cool or warm water on a gentle or delicate cycle; avoid hot water as it can damage the fibers.
- For hand washing, soak the cloth in cool or warm water with mild detergent, scrub gently, rinse well, and wring out excess water.
- Air drying is preferred to maintain absorbency; if using a dryer, dry on low heat without dryer sheets or balls.
These steps help maintain the microfiber's ability to trap dirt, dust, and moisture while extending the cloth's usable life.
