Microfiber towels have become a popular cleaning tool because of their excellent absorbency and ability to trap dirt. To keep them working as expected and to extend their life, we have shared this article to help you understand how to clean microfiber cloths.

Microfiber Towels

When to wash

One of the first things to know about any cleaning task is how often you need to perform it. This also applies to microfiber towel care. Washing too often may damage the fibers, but inadequate washing can cause dirt and bacteria to stick to the towels.

You can choose how often to wash or dry your towels, but if you want to keep them as clean and fresh as possible, you can wash them after each use.

It's also important to keep your towels dry when not in use. Check to see if they get wet while hanging in the bathroom. If so, you may need to wash it after each use.

Once you've decided how often you want to wash your microfiber towels, it's time to decide how you want to wash them. There are two main options to choose from: hand washing and machine washing.

Hand washing

Microfiber towels used for tasks such as light dusting usually don't need to be spun in the washing machine - just a quick hand wash with no detergent. See the steps below for how to clean microfiber towels by hand.

1. Shake off excess dirt

2. Fill the basin or sink with cold water

3. Wash and soak the towel

4. Rinse and wring out the cloth

Machine washing

Throwing microfiber cloths in the washing machine is a great option that doesn't require much variation from your normal laundry routine. Follow these steps to learn how to care for your microfiber towels in the washing machine. If the towels have care labels, refer to those specific care instructions.

1. Separate from other fabrics

2. Shake off excess dirt

3. Use fragrance and additive-free detergents, not fabric softeners

4. Add vinegar to remove odors

5. Machine wash in cold or lukewarm water using a gentle cycle

It's worth noting that if your microfiber towels are more heavily soiled, consider pre-soaking them before running them through the washing machine.
