How to wash microfibre clothes?
« on: 05 December 2010, 19:32 »
Right I have no doubt this question has been asked and answered before therefore I apologise  :undecided: However ive done a search and nothing came back so I thought id ask.

I have a sh!t load of microfibre clothes that Ive used and just bought some more. I didnt the know the correct way to wash them so I just bought more but enough is enough id like to wash them. What do I use and at what temp? Is there a solution you can buy to wash them in to keep them soft etc etc.

Cloth should have a label on it indicating temp it should be washed at. I stick them in the washing machine at that temp, with no fabric softeners.

I usually add some vinegar to the drum as it helps shift some of the more stubborn stains.
