Washing microfiber towels is pretty easy, there are just a few things that you should remember to keep your products effective and long lasting. You can wash and dry your microfiber products in your household washer. If you use a dryer dry only on low heat.
Microfiber towel washing instructions to keep your microfiber “like new”:
- Do not use Bleach
- Do not use Fabric Softener
- Do not wash with other cotton products.
Microfiber products do not like bleach. Washing microfiber towels with bleach breaks down the polyester and polyamide micro-filaments, rendering them less effective.
Fabric softeners provide a layer of “softness” on your clothing, which is nice for clothing that you wear, but this coating clogs the microfibers, rendering them less effective.
It is not that microfiber products do not like cotton products or other fabrics, it is that when you are cleaning microfiber cloth with your cotton products the microfiber will grab and hold onto the lint that the cotton produces. So if you do not want your microfiber towels to lint then you should not wash them with cotton products. Follow these microfiber washing instructions to keep your towels and sponges in pristine condition.
