🧼 How to Wash Microfiber


Keep Your Krystal Klear Cloths in Top Shape

High-quality microfiber like our Original Krystal Klear Cloth performs better and lasts longer than ordinary cleaning cloths—but only if you care for it properly. With the right washing routine, your cloth can last for hundreds of uses while continuing to deliver that streak-free, chemical-free clean.

Here’s how to get the most out of your cloth.


🌀 Washing Microfiber in the Machine

Washing your microfiber in the washing machine is easy—just follow these tips to protect its powerful cleaning properties.

✅ Do:

  • Wash separately. Microfiber attracts lint, so always wash it separately from cotton or natural fabrics.

  • Shake it out first. Shake off excess dirt and dust before washing to prevent it from staying trapped in the fibers.

  • Use fragrance-free detergent. Avoid any added softeners, bleach, or scents—these coat the fibers and reduce performance.

  • Add white vinegar for odors. If your cloths smell, add a tablespoon to Âź cup of white vinegar to the wash or rinse cycle.

  • Use cool to warm water only. Keep temperatures below 160°F. Hot water damages the fibers and reduces cleaning ability.

  • Choose a gentle cycle. The delicate or light wash cycle is ideal.


🖐 Hand Washing Your Krystal Klear Cloth

Most of the time, your Krystal Klear cloth just needs a quick hand wash.

Here’s how:

  1. Shake out debris. Remove loose dust and dirt into the trash or outside.

  2. Soak and wash. Fill a sink or basin with cool or warm water. Add a tablespoon of mild soap, swish, and gently scrub the cloth.

  3. Soak for 15 minutes. Let it rest to loosen buildup, then rinse.

  4. Dry properly. (See drying tips below.)

💡 Note: Stains won’t affect your cloth’s performance. Even a stained Krystal Klear Cloth will still clean beautifully and leave no streaks.


🌬 How to Dry Microfiber

Drying microfiber correctly is just as important as washing.

Best Methods:

  • Air dry flat or line dry whenever possible—this is gentlest and helps the cloth last the longest.

  • If machine drying:

    • Dry separately

    • Use low heat or air-dry setting only

    • Avoid dryer sheets

    • Clean the lint trap thoroughly


⚠️ What Not to Do

To protect your cloth’s lifespan and cleaning power, avoid the following:

🚫 No bleach. It can damage fibers and cause lint.
🚫 No high heat. Never use towel or sanitize cycles—they melt and shrink microfiber.
🚫 No dryer sheets. These coat the fibers and reduce effectiveness.
🚫 Don’t mix with cotton or wool. Natural fabrics shed lint that microfiber will pick up.
🚫 Don’t overload the washer/dryer. Keep loads ¾ full max to avoid compressing fibers.
🚫 Don’t store dirty microfiber in airtight containers. Let cloths dry fully before tossing them in a laundry bin to prevent odors and bacteria growth.


👌 One Last Tip

The better you care for your microfiber, the better it will care for your surfaces. A little attention goes a long way—and helps you keep cleaning streak-free, simple, and chemical-free.
