How to wash microfibers for the car?
Microfiber cloths and tools they have particular care requirements due to their cleaning and composition properties. In this article you will discover how to wash microfiber cloths for the car in the best way . As you are probably aware, microfiber cloths are excellent for dusting and washing, thanks to the static charge of the fibers. The combination of polyamide and polyester makes them incredibly strong and soft, and the specialty of microfiber towels is their ability to absorb 7 times their weight in water!
For such a technologically advanced fabric, proper care is surprisingly easy.
No fabric softener, no bleach, no heat during drying .
Washing microfiber cloths: here's what you need to remember!
Wash microfiber in the washing machine with just one detergent. Leave it to dry away from heat sources. Too much heat damages the fibers while fabric softener and bleach will eliminate the electrical charge that makes microfiber so effective. By respecting these simple rules your microfiber will last longer.
Question, which detergent is best to wash microfiber cloths with? at what temperature? What you need to keep in mind is:
- detergent residues
- perfumes contained in the detergent
- there is no need to go above 50°
- wash and dry separately
Very often (non-specific) detergents leave soap residues inside the fibres, or contain perfumes which are excellent for clothes but are bad for microfibre. Wash clothes at a temperature not exceeding 50°. Finally, we always recommend washing and drying the microfibers we use on the bodywork separately from those we use on the most contaminated surfaces, the rims!
One of the best products on the market is DopeFibers Cleany Microfiber Wash . This is a liquid detergent formulated specifically for washing microfibers . It does not contain bleach, fabric softener, or fragrances, however, it contains surfactants and emulsifiers that remove stains from microfiber.
DopeFibers Cleany Microfiber Wash can be used for both hand washes and machine cycles. It is a specially formulated detergent, which cleans deeply, effectively removing oily and greasy residues. Your microfiber towels or tools will come out as soft, clean, and magnetic as they were when you first purchased them.
Never wash microfibres together with clothes or other items, the static nature of the microfibre will attract dirt from other clothing.
Suggestion: If you wash your microfibers in the washing machine, use a separate container from the laundry. This will avoid contamination that could compromise the microfiber.
