This is how you tackle it
First and foremost, always check the label of the microfiber cloth before washing it. There you will find the instructions for your specific cloth. To wash your microfiber cloth, we recommend simply putting it in the washing machine. Machine washing will return the fibers to a hygienic clean and usable for the next time. You can wash most wipes at a temperature of 40 to 60 degrees. The bacteria lurking in the dirt will die from 60 degrees. Microfiber cloths can last for years and be machine washed hundreds of times.
It is best to just use the same detergent you normally use. A dash of white vinegar can also be used if necessary, which is soothing to the cloths. To finish, you can simply dry the microfiber cloths in the dryer at a low to medium temperature. That will kill any bacteria that may have survived. If you want to dry the cloth in the dryer, do so at 90 degrees maximum, preferably even lower.
What NOT to do!
- Wash your microfiber cloth with fabric softener: this affects the fibers of the cloth and reduces its performance.
- Use bleach: this affects the fibers of the cloth and reduces its performance.
- Just soak in water with a soapy solution: the dirt will not release and the cloth will not get clean.
- Wash your microfiber cloth together with other laundry: if you wash other laundry in the same machine, you risk the whole load becoming static.
- Leaving dirty or wet cloths too long: be sure to wash cloths regularly.
