How to properly clean and maintain the Microfiber Cleaning Towel?

Proper cleaning and care of your Microfiber Cleaning Towel will help extend its life and maintain its cleaning effectiveness. Here are some important cleaning and care tips:

The best water temperature for cleaning Microfiber Cleaning Towels is warm water (about 30-40°C). Avoid using hot water, as hot water may cause the fibers to deform, shrink or damage, affecting the cleaning effect.
Use a mild, bleach-free detergent. Bleach and softener may damage microfibers, reducing their absorbency and cleaning effectiveness. Avoid using detergents with fragrances or chemical additives, as these substances may remain in the fibers and affect cleaning performance.
Softeners form a coating on the fibers, reducing the adsorption performance of microfibers and reducing cleaning effectiveness. Especially when washing microfiber cleaning towels, it is best to avoid using softeners completely.
Microfiber fibers are very fine and easily stick to cotton fibers, causing the microfibers to lose their original function. Therefore, it is best to wash microfiber cleaning towels separately from other types of fabrics.


Wash microfiber cleaning towels on a low speed or gentle cycle to reduce damage to the fibers caused by machine friction. High-speed spinning or excessive agitation may cause the microfiber to lose its shape and affect its effectiveness.
During the washing process, make sure to rinse all detergents thoroughly. Residual detergent will affect the water absorption of microfibers and may even cause dirt to accumulate.
Although microfiber cleaning towels can be hand washed and dried, they should be avoided from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to the sun will weaken the fibers, fade, and affect their softness. It is best to hang them in a cool and ventilated place away from high temperature exposure.
Avoid using high temperature settings in the dryer. If you must use a dryer, it is best to choose low temperature or no heat to prevent overheating and fiber damage. Air drying is the best method.
When using microfiber cleaning towels, avoid direct contact with oil stains or strong contaminants to prevent the cleaning towel from being contaminated and unable to clean effectively. You can first remove oil stains or stains with clean water, and then use microfiber cleaning towels to wipe carefully.
Even microfiber cleaning wipes need to be cleaned regularly, especially after frequent use. Keeping them clean ensures optimal cleaning results and avoids the accumulation of dirt and bacteria.
After use, make sure the wipes are completely dry and avoid storing them in a damp environment to prevent bacteria growth or odors. You can air dry them to keep them hygienic.

With these cleaning and maintenance tips, you can ensure long-term and efficient use of microfiber cleaning wipes while maintaining their cleaning results and lifespan.
