Washing microfiber cleaning cloths: check the PEPPRIG 40°C care label

Microfiber cloths have product-specific care limits. IKEA PEPPRIG 005.756.39 allows normal machine washing up to 40°C but no bleach, tumble drying, ironing or dry cleaning. Follow other cloths' own labels.

Even similar-looking microfiber cloths have different heat and detergent limits. IKEA Korea lists normal washing at up to 40°C and no tumble drying for the PEPPRIG two-pack (005.756.39). E-Cloth separately recommends avoiding fabric softener and dryer sheets for its own cloths; its higher wash limits must not be transferred to IKEA products.

Your try-it-at-home checklist

0 / 6 done

Identify the cloth's product and care label first; do not assume every microfiber cloth shares PEPPRIG 005.756.39's 40°C setting.
After cleaning, shake away loose debris, rinse thoroughly and wring. Keep heavily soiled cloths separate from cleaner laundry.
For IKEA PEPPRIG 005.756.39 use a normal machine cycle at no more than 40°C. Follow your washer and laundry bag instructions if using a bag.
Do not bleach or dry-clean this IKEA cloth. E-Cloth separately advises no fabric softeners or dryer sheets for its own microfiber products.
Air-dry PEPPRIG fully on a rack in a ventilated place; tumble drying and ironing are prohibited. Do not borrow E-Cloth's different tumble-dryer guidance.
Store cloths by cleaning area and reassess heavily worn or persistently dirty pieces. Washing a cloth does not automatically disinfect every surface it touches.
