Our Microfibre Cloths are incredibly versatile and can be used in numerous ways.
As a dusting magnet:
When it comes to dusting, ditch the traditional rag and opt for a Microfibre Cloth instead. Unlike a regular cloth, which simply shifts dust around, a Microfibre Cloth functions like a magnet, thanks to its static charge, which effectively attracts and traps dust particles. Plus, this cleaning method is quick and effortless, as no water is required.
For damp cleaning:
Microfibre Cloths reach their optimal performance when they are slightly damp, thanks to their capillary action which effectively draws in soil. For a general clean, simply soak a dry Microfibre Cloth in water until it’s fully saturated, then wring it out well so it’s just a bit damp. This damp cloth can be used to clean almost any hard surface, from your bathroom to your kitchen. You will be amazed by the results.
For messy situations:
In case you are faced with a really dirty scenario, start by using your cloth and favourite DIY-cleaning solution to wash off all the dirt. Rinse the cloth, and proceed to polish it with your damp Microfibre Cloth.
Pro Tip:
If you use detergent or soap of any kind, be sure to rinse it out completely.
Microfibre Cloths are great at trapping dust, dirt, and germs, but it’s important to clean them thoroughly after use to get rid of any debris stuck in the tiny fibres.
How to wash by hand:
To clean Microfibre Cloths, shake them outside or into a trash bag to remove dirt. Then, soak the cloths in cool or warm water for 15-20 minutes and gently rub them to release any grime. Rinse tho-roughly with running water, squeeze out excess water, and hang to dry.
How to launder your Microfibre Cloths:
Although these cloths can be washed up to 95 degrees Celsius, we recommend washing them at a temperature of 40 degrees, which will be sufficient to clean them effectively. There may be some shrinkage in the initial washes, up to 5%. Wash Microfibre Cloths separately from other fabrics to prevent lint from sticking to them and reducing their effectiveness over time. When washing mixed loads, avoid washing with cotton and only use non-linting synthetic materials.
Only use regular laundry detergent or none at all. Don’t use oily or soap-based detergents and avoid fabric softeners, which can clog the fibres and reduce their effectiveness until washed out. Unlike many other Microfibre Cloths, these cloths can be tumble dried, which can be beneficial as it opens the fibres. They won‘t burn at high temperatures like most Microfibre Cloths. If you put Microfibre through the clothes dryer, make sure your filters are clean as the cloth will pick up all the lint. Alternatively, you may choose to air dry the cloths as they have a quick drying time.
If you wash and dry Microfibre properly (without fabric softener) and keep them in good condition, you’ll have them for many years to come. Microfibre just doesn’t wear out like traditional fabric.
