Microfiber Care ?

[Carolinaboy]

How do y'all clean your microfibers ? I have heard of just washing them in warm water with no soap/detergent. Is this about right ?

But would like to know the proper way of washing them myself. I use 'em, and just go buy more when they start to look ragged. I have a stock pile of the damn things.

I wash mine with detergent and have never had an issue.

I wash them with detergent and dry them, just don't use fabric softener with them.

I use plain Woolite, hang dry. Heres a more detailed account:

Thank you. I think I can quit buying so many of them now.

Good info Dana, I'll have to get some Woolite now.

I should pick up some Microfibers instead of using old bath towels

Basic rules when washing microfibers:

1. Only wash microfibers with microfibers (nothing else!!)
2. Detergent may be used (not much is necessary, though)
3. Absolutely no fabric softener
4. Better to let hang dry than dry in machine (doesn't clump them together or pick up lint)

Wash mine together in the washer with regular detergent. Many have been washed dozens of times and I can't tell any difference. They still work great.
