Cleaning Microfiber Towels and Microfiber Mop Pads
Clean microfiber towels are highly effective and safe even on the most delicate surfaces. However if the microfiber products have built up contaminants and stains on them they can be less effective. Clean your microfiber tools regularly and you can use them with confidence for years to come.
If your microfiber product are only lightly dirty you can shake out the dust particles or rinse the product under warm water and continue using them. We suggest machine washing them only when needed, to help preserve the material. If the microfiber becomes noticeably contaminated or soiled you should machine wash and dry them. Even with regular cleanings you can get up to several hundred uses from each pad. When you need to machine wash and dry your microfiber products please follow these instructions and information listed below.
Washing and Drying Instructions:
- Put the towels and pads in your washing machine with warm water and Chemical Guys Microfiber Cleaning Detergent or laundry detergent.
- Machine dry or air dry.
- Store microfiber products in a closeable bag or Rubbermaid container to prevent dust from accumulating.
Important Microfiber Care Information
Warm water is best when washing because the warmth helps open up the pores of the fibers, where particles may be trapped. Try to avoid using harsh or concentrated detergents that can degrade the microfiber material and reduce their effectiveness. DO NOT use any fabric softener of any kind. Microfiber naturally produces virtually no lint while most other fabric gives off some form of measurable lint with each washing and drying. If you avoid washing and drying microfiber products with other fabrics you will help reduce the amount of lint on the microfiber products, which preserves their top level of effectiveness. If you do wash them with other clothes try avoid doing it with clothes known to give off high levels of lint.
Try not to excessively dry microfiber if you machine dry them. Excessive drying can degrade the fibers, which reduces their cleaning power. Air drying is the safest method if you want to truly maximize the life of the microfiber product. Do not iron microfiber products.
