Microfiber cloths already have a lot of fans. And frankly speaking, it doesn’t surprise us at all. There are a number of reasons why microfiber cloths are going to make your cleaning activities easier and more effective.
First of all – eco-friendly microfiber cloths are extremely absorbent, and they’re also very soft, so they’re easy on delicate surfaces, and they’re great for wiping and cleaning without leaving streaks and smears behind. Secondly – they’re chemical-free and safe to use around food and other sensitive items. They’re also resistant to mold and mildew and won’t support the growth of harmful bacteria like cotton cloths can. Lastly, microfiber cloths are extremely durable and reusable. But how to make sure they’ll last for years? Thanks to proper care!
How to wash microfiber?
Microfiber can be easily washed in a washing machine, but it’s worth remembering about a few things. Since microfiber is so absorbent, you’ll need to take special care when cleaning and washing it. One of the most important things to avoid when cleaning microfiber is fabric softener, which can clump up and ruin the absorbent fibers in the cloth.
How to wash microfiber? Use only a small amount of detergent and wash on a delicate cycle to avoid damaging your microfiber cloths. Also, don’t wash the microfiber at high temperatures, as this may adversely affect the fibers. Choose rather cool or warm water – never hot.
How often should you wash microfiber cloths?
How often should you wash microfiber cloths? It all depends on what you use them for. If you have cleaned a greasy oven with a microfiber cloth – it’s better to put it in the wash after a single use. On the other hand, if you use it to wipe off any dust or water – just rinse it in running water and leave to dry. Thorough washing in the washing machine is worth considering for such a cloth only after 4-5 uses.
How often should you replace microfiber cloths?
