How To Wash Microfibre Cloths

[WWC]

Hi,

I noticed some different opinions on here about washing microfibre cloths, so I contact one of the manufacturers – Paragon Microfibre, and asked them. About washing, detergents, softeners, tumbled drying etc.

Their reply was...

All Our Microfibre should be washed with half the amount of detergent you would use normally. They can be washed at high temps, but 40 deg C is adequate. They can be tumble dried but not too long at high temps as Microfibre is 'nylon' and can be damaged by high temps. It is not advisable to use softeners.

I hope this helps a few people.

i`ve noticed if you tumble dry more lint goes on the window

dry natural - no lint.

Ive noticed the quality goes down hill if you tumble dry them, they seem to be less absorbant.
