How are people cleaning/storing microfibre cloths?
There seems to be a difference between a brand new microfibre cloth and a microfibre cloth that has been cleaned, even if soak it in water again to try and soften it for use.
You should use a specific microfibre detergent (something like chemical guys microfibre wash). Don’t use powder, don’t use fabric conditioner or bleach.
Don’t mix microfibres with other washing - it picks up nd clogs with lint.
Max temperature of 60 degrees c (some say 40 but I find 60 is OK).
Air dry or tumble dry on a low setting. Air dry is supposed to prolong the life. Don’t dry on a radiator. Fold and store in a covered container.
