Microfiber Care ?

[Carolinaboy]

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)

Matt, do you do the same steps for the Water Magnets too ?

I'll just keep machine washing and drying mine. As I understand it, they are still making more. I'll buy some when mine bite it.

Last section. The only thing I do different is hang them to dry. Only reason I do that is because lint tends to get on them when I put them in the dryer.

Thanks Matt. That's actually GREAT information. I've washed mine in the washer but never used any other chemicals except for a bit of detergent. Looks like I was lucky not to!

Here is part of it:

PROPER CARE:

If the towel becomes too dirty, it will begin to “streak”. It is then time to wash the towel. This is easily done by just throwing the cloth into any washing machine and washing with any soap or detergent. The only restriction is to NEVER USE any type of FABRIC SOFTENER or BLEACH. The towel will treat the fabric softener as if it was dirt. It will try to store the tiny particles of the softener in the towel fibers. This will clog up the micro fibers and render the towel ineffective.

For best results always wash Microfiber products separate from other towels. They will attract lint in the wash water which can leave lint residues when next used.

You may also dry Microfiber cloths in any dryer, just be sure that the dryer does not dry at temperatures above 235 degrees F., as Microfiber will melt if heated too high.
