Some special use cloths must not be washed with fabric softener. What about this one?

I would not, we keep it to a 1 person use and rinse in warm water and put it right back in its container. My daughter uses 1 for tennis and my son is a marine. He was out at 29 palms 128 degree heat. He donated his to a guy that collapsed from the heat.

I haven't tried, but I wouldn't. I think the instructions say to just wash it normally and wring it out to remove most water. Than you store it damp in the tube it comes with.

I have been washing warm & drying low. I always wash separately because you cannot use fabric softener.To answer your question, I'm not sure which is correct, but my way seems to work fine.

Hi Arnold - I probably won't be of much help since I bought this for my newphew for Christmas and haven't personally used it. But since I do use items like that at my house, I wash items like that in warm water (don't use fabric softeners) and I don't put my items in the dryer. If my nephew has used it, I'm sure he didn't give much thought on washing instructions lol! Good luck!

I keep the soap nuts in until the whole cycle is finished. This is not a common soap - it's a natural "nut", so there is no lather. It works great and is really economical. I've been using them for a year now and I like the feel of the clothes when they are washed and dry. You don't need fabric softener. There is no film left on the clothes. Even flannel sheets are soft.

damp cloth is always the safe bet.. just don't get it too wet. Mine's never gotten dirty though so I haven't needed to clean it

I use a homemade powder detergent in my HE washer on the regular cycle (hot wash/cold rinse) with an extra rinse. No fabric softener and if you choose to dry in the dryer, no dryer sheet should be used as they will decrease absorbancy. Personally I line dry.

I've had this cloth for years and I think I may have washed it once or twice. I keep it next to my bed and use it to clean fingerprints off my tablet and phone and to clean my reading glasses. I don't like washing microfiber cloths because they seem to pick up every tiny bit of fluff. Would probably be OK if just washing microfiber but they're so small it's hard to get a full load. And I don't have it in any kind of bag, it sits on top of my glasses case within easy reach. Best screen and lens cloth I've used.

They are great but I don't use fabric softener. The towels are not stiff out of the dryer. Very happy with this purchase

Separate from regular wash - avoid fabric softener, etc... [I do wash with microfiber towels.]

The fabric softener will eventually plug the micro fiber and they will no longer work as well. The fabric softener leaves behind a residue that does not rinse off and the pores in the microfiber will fill with this residue. If you continue to rinse them with fabric softener, or dry them with drier sheets, in time that will ruin them. They will become just like regular small hand towels. It's worth washing them separately.

No. I don't use anything with the cloths. You can blow a little breath on it, if its not coming clean right away.

I just wash them on the normal cycle with my dark cloths. I also put them in the dryer. I don't use fabric softener so I can't help ya there.

I only use hot water to dampen the cloth rather than chemicals, but uou could also use a wood floor cleaner that you would spray on the cloth to dampen it if you'd like.

The microfiber part of the mop is a "sock" type cover. You slip it on the base and secure the ends with the Velcro tabs sewn on the inside edge of the cover. When you need to clean just undo the Velcro and slip the "sock" off the base. When you wash the microfiber "sock" close the Velcro tabs and toss in the wash. Do not use fabric softener with any microfiber product. This product is wonderful on our new hardwood floors. Its all I use.

They go right in the washing machine, on hot, with sheets & towels. No fabric softener, but oxyclean. Hang to dry, athough they're pretty much dry after the cycle's done. Hope that helps! I am very happy with these.

It's your fabric softner. When you wash your clothes next time, add 1/2 cup of vinegar in place of liquid fabric softner. You might have to do this a few times. I had this problem mostly with bathroom towels because I love them soft and fluffy, but the problem was too much of a build up on them. The vinegar will also wash your washer of any buildup. Good luck!

Arnold, thanks for your question. These towels are pretty tough, and last a long time typically. Having said that, it is always best to wash most fabrics in cooler water, as modern detergents work well in cooler water. Drying at any temperature will be fine. As others pointed out, the MAIN thing is not to use fabric softener or bleach. If possible, wash with other microfiber products, or things that do not normally leave lots of lint in the machines, because the ultra fine microfiber threads tend to grab the loose lint from the other cloth, so their lint will stick to the Guzzling Giant.
