Microfiber cloths do not all share the same wash limit. This guide follows E-Cloth USA's own instructions, not those for other brands or specialty polishing cloths. It is distinct from an existing IKEA PEPPRIG guide because product requirements differ.

0 / 6 done

1. Read the label to identify your particular E-Cloth. Dusting, glass and other specialty products may have different care requirements.
2. Rinse and wring the cloth thoroughly after use; do not leave it damp and dirty in a pile.
3. Hang or spread it out to dry with good airflow between uses.
4. Wash when grime or odor persists. On the first wash, separate from light-colored items because dyes may run.
5. E-Cloth USA's general guide allows machine washing up to 140°F (about 60°C) with a little detergent; always follow a lower limit if your particular cloth's label specifies one.
6. Avoid fabric softener, dryer sheets and bleach. Tumble dry only as permitted by your product instructions, or hang dry. Do not apply these limits to other brands automatically.
