How to Clean a Microfiber Cloth
Microfiber cloths are popular for their ability to effectively clean surfaces without harsh chemicals. If cared for and cleaned properly, microfiber cloths can last for years. There are a few simple steps you can take to keep your cloths in top condition for cleaning.
Instructions:
- Prepare water and detergent. Fill a sink or a bucket with warm water and add a few tablespoons of detergent. You can also use a specialized cleaning solution specifically designed for microfiber cloths.
- Soak the cloth. Submerge your cloth and allow it to soak for 15-30 minutes.
- Agitate the cloth. After the cloth has soaked, gently agitate it and work the water, detergent and dirt out of the fibers.
- Rinse the cloth. Rinse the cloth until the water runs clear, which should remove all the soap and dirt.
- Air dry. Lay the cloth out in a single layer and allow it to air dry.
- Store cloths. Once the cloths are dry, store them in a dry and cool place. Properly storing your cloths will help them last longer.
Microfiber cloths can be safely and effectively cleaned using only water, detergent and some elbow grease. Follow the steps above and your cloths will be ready for your next cleaning job.
