What are Microfiber Towels? Microfiber towels actually lift the dirt or wax from the surface you are cleaning and then store the particle or liquid in the towel until it is washed. Microfiber can be used wet or dry. Microfiber is a man-made product consisting of two fibers, Polyester and Polymide. The Polyester is the scrubbing and cleaning fiber, while the Polymide is the absorbing and quick drying fiber.

When using Microfiber wet, it is very important to wring the towel as dry as possible. If a Microfiber towel is dripping water, it is too wet, and could leave streaks on the surface you are cleaning.

If the Microfiber towel becomes too dirty, it will also begin to streak. It is then time to wash the towel. This is easily done by just throwing the towel into a washing machine and washing with any soap or detergent you prefer. However, there are four restrictions:

1. Never wash Microfiber towels with other types of cotton towels… the Microfiber towel will treat the lint generated by the cotton towel like dirt and store the tiny cotton particles within the microfibers.
   
2. Never use fabric softener. The Microfiber towel will accumulate fabric softener as if it were “Scotch Guard” (water repellant) and saturate the microfibers, reducing its effectiveness.
   
3. Use low temperature when drying, and do not iron.
   
4. Do not use chlorine bleach with microfiber.
