Many people unintentionally damage their microfiber cleaning cloths by making simple mistakes. Here’s what you should avoid:

  • Using fabric softeners – They coat the fibers and reduce effectiveness.

     

  • Washing with lint-producing fabrics (like cotton towels) – Microfiber attracts lint, which clogs the fibers.

     

  • Using hot water – High temperatures can melt the delicate fibers.

     

  • Ironing – Heat damages microfiber; always air dry or tumble dry on low.
