Don’t use fabric softener on bath towels as well. It causes the material not absorb water as well. You wind up smearing the water around instead of absorbing

[timathypotato]

In the car detailing world where we use lots of microfiber towels for all kinds of different things like buffing waxes, if you have towels that are super clogged up and not absorbing water anymore there are dedicated detergents that bring them back to like from companies like The Rag Company

Tip from health inspector/kitchen worker.

100% cotton, tight knitted, dish towels (the ones with the offset stripe down the center), can be used anywhere, do not melt, can be abused, cost roughly the same as microfibers, look attractive, do not scratch surfaces, and are sustainable to boot.

As you use them, toss them into a 5 gallon bucket of water with a single scoop of oxyclean. The oxyclean slowly (few days) breaks down into hydrogen peroxide and gently bleaches the towels. By the time you get through a set of towels the the bucket full will be ready to be washed with any detergent of your choice.

They even come in all black for dealing with meat and oils.

I have the utmost respect for you keeping this video short.

I use the following colours for all my cleaning. Blue for the loo, pink for the sink, yellow for dusting, green for wiping kitchen cabinets and worktops, and grey for windows.

I tried microfiber cloths many years ago and gave up because I couldn't get them cleaned. Not sure how or why your video was recommended to me, but thank you. It all makes sense now and I'll give it another try.

The whole video is 3 minutes 43 seconds! Great! Concise and on point.

One further note about using fabric softener, also keep it away from microfiber, or any other cloths that you use to clean camera lenses or display screens. The softener leaves a residue on the cloth that will cloud the lens/screen.

Great video, I like how you’re straight to the point with everything but not overwhelming or adding unnecessary tasks. Keep it up! Liked watching on 2x.

Well now I know I’ve done EVERYTHING wrong when cleaning my microfiber towels. At least I know what not to do next time. Who knew a microfiber video could be so entertaining? Like the “orange towels on the kitchen counter” bit? Watched that twice!

[jilllech]

Based on your video, I decided to give microfiber cloths one more chance. Wow, whoopee, they have changed my life. I was diagnosed with an auto immune disease which has diminished my hand strength. These towels work quickly with little elbow( hand) grease. Thank you so much, I just got back some of my independence.

Blue for the loo, pink for the sink. 😊

Never too old to learn.

I throw my microfiber towels into a basin of warm soapy water immediately after using them. I pretreat any really grimy spots with Shout Advanced, if necessary. Then I launder them with Tide Hygenic Clean and air dry them. They are spotless. I really think that the immediate presoak has made all the difference.

I love that kitchen in the background..it’s very aesthetically pleasing. Also, I did not know a few of these things about microfiber towels..and I’ve been using them for years for most of my cleaning tasks. I’m glad I came across this video! 👍🏻

[mindybanda]

I’ve been a Norwex consultant for years and never knew to not put them in the dryer with heat. I have been washing them separately with appropriate detergent, but so going to switch to air dry setting from now on! Thanks for the tip!

[suzywalker]

As a result of watching this video, I have completely reorganised my cleaning cloths. I shall also follow your tips on how the clean mircofibre. Thank you!

[ML-xhrd]

Gotta love a dude who enjoys cleaning. His tutorials and advice are straightforward and I don't feel like he's trying to sell me something. -- Good microfiber towels are an investment so it's good to know how to care for them so they last a good long while.

[jsharik]

I’ve always dried it flat, but I did not know that you cannot wash that with cotton towels!! 🤦‍♀️ Now I know.❤

[mikaross]

Great tips. I use microfiber towels for all my dusting and deep cleaning. I don't fabric softeners even for my regular wash load.

[enginanners]

Thanks for the tips! I didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to use heat to dry them. 😬 Also my own tip - I use vinegar in lieu of fabric softener for all my laundry, microfiber towels included. I find it helps keep scum from building up in the fibers.
