Microfiber cloths are repeatedly used on kitchen, bathroom and glass surfaces. Sorting by task and following the exact cloth label helps keep them usable.

0 / 6 done

1. Sort used cloths by task, separating kitchen and bathroom contamination and heavily soiled cloths from other laundry.
2. Identify whether the cloth is the specified 3M Scotch-Brite Microfibre Cleaning Wipes; otherwise follow its own care label.
3. Shake out loose debris and wash within the label's temperature limit. The specified 3M wipes allow up to 60°C.
4. Do not use bleach or fabric softener on these specified 3M wipes. Do not assume the same rules apply to every microfiber brand.
5. Rinse thoroughly and dry by a method permitted on the label. Avoid sealing up cloths while still damp.
6. Store the dry cloths by cleaning task. Replace worn or embedded-with-grit cloths before using them on delicate surfaces.
