Can you clean a microfiber cloth?
Please Help!
Does anyone know how to clean the Zeiss MicroFiber cloth and have it be like brand new? Because its full of dust. And what i did is used distilled water and then rinsed it and waited for it to dry. But when i tried to clean something with it, it left some smudges and stuff. So im assuming this is not the way to clean it
So does anyone know what to do?
We've been making pants with microfiber pockets, even though absolutely no one is searching the internet for them. I love using them and think it is a game changer, but it doesn't seem like something that is remotely on peoples' mind. It's one of those "things you never knew you needed until you saw it."
Would love to hear your thoughts.

I can't find this in my country. Do they have any other names ?
Would anyone tell me if these shaggymax cloths are the suede kind https://www.shaggymax.com/products/9-piece-mcswiper-microfiber-optical-polishing-cloths like the apple polishing cloths? i notice these say they are made of sumitex and this one https://www.shaggymax.com/products/twin-turbo-swiper says it is made of turbosuede. Are these 2 different materials or which is the suede kind for cleaning monitors??
I was wondering if it’s ok to wash 70/30 blend with 80/20 microfiber, Or do I have to wash them separately ?
Thanks in advance!
I washed my microfiber towel in the washing machine, cold water with regular detergent (dye free). I air dried it after the wash, but when I used it to clean my reading glasses it left lints. Idk what happened to cause the towel to be that way.... Do i need to buy a new microfiber towel? If so which brand? Or, is there a way to fix this problem?
I know there are different GSMs of microfiber, but in general, is cotton or microfiber more gentle/less abrasive? Struggling with what kind of cloth to use with vintage electronics and other fragile/valuable things. I've been reading mixed opinions.
For years I've used the Quickie blue microfiber cleaning cloths for general dusting/cleaning and the Magic Fiber microfiber cleaning cloths for screens/glass and smaller stuff (but they don't really pick up dust/dirt like the Quickie towels)
Is there a better option or would cotton be safer to use? Just trying to educate myself here. Thanks!
I am thinking of washing my duvet to remove the drain maybe, and perhaps pretreating it with a stain remover? Not sure if that might aggravate the stain though so please give me some advice. Thanks a lot in advance!
or do they all over time? im wondering if i need some specifally for cleaning laptop monitorsince lint free is said to be best
I have a few microfibers cloths that I hand-wash because they don’t get too dirty and so I’ve been searching for fragrance/colour free laundry detergents but there are none free and clear products where I live. I have only found one. There are two options of this product, one is laundry detergent and the other dish soap. Both are fragrance/colour free.
I don’t know if there is a big difference between the two or what the difference is when it comes to using it for hand-washing microfibers, but what I wanted to ask is, since the dish soap is cheaper and I don’t need big quantities I was wondering if it would do the same job or is laundry detergent better (for hand-washing as I mention earlier).

I need help on how to get rid of the specs and sparkle like residue that Microfiber cloths left on my windows when I washed them. I have tried hot sudsy water and they still are there and it is driving me crazy!! HELP!!?
I’ve had amazon basics microfiber clothes (yellow/blue), MagicFiber, and Calotherm (expensive af). Lint and streaks are the most common issues.
I have three use-cases:
I tend to use dish soap, water and any specific bathroom cleaning spray or similar. Dusting also.
I tend to use isopropyl alcohol 99%. I’m going to switch to mix of IPA and distilled water.
Water and dish soap then microfiber to dry.
I saw many recommend The Rag Company’s microfiber products and I’m willing to give them a go, but I could use advice as to which TRC microfiber clothes to buy as there are so many :)
Is the Edgeless 245 a good choice for all my use-cases above?
Good morning everyone, recently I washed 7 of my microfiber towels after using them for dusting + a thorough clean of my bathroom.
to start off washing these towels. I dipped them in some warm sink water to remove some of the gunk i noticed had hardened on the fibers a bit along with any excessive anounts of dust/dirt i picked up cleaning.
Then I rang em out and brought them to the washing machine to really wash them and remove lint. I used a high spin + cold water cycle + all clear and free detergent.
Finally i hung them out to dry after taking them out of the washer. when all was said and done i notice the towels are no longer as soft as they were and that the woven borders on them have shrunk.
I have microfiber rags for the floor cleaning. The ones Bona sells. Is there a more efficient way to get rid of debris caught than just using tweezers?
I'm talking about the thin ones used for glasses, I hand wash mine in either vinegar or laundry detergent depending on how much detergent buildup I suspect is on it. 80% polyester and 20% polyamide I think.
Additionally are non-split microfiber cloths softer than split? Why is this? Isn't polyamide softer than polyester and being split would make it softer?
Hell everyone
I just got a new Sony Bravia XR A80J oled tv and am in the market for some high quality microfiber cloths for dusting the screen.
Any recommendations? I'm scared of scratching it or leaving any lint behind. Its only purpose is removing dust. I don't have kids or pets at the moment so there aren't any smudges or anything like that.
Preferably on Amazon because I have a giftcard
Thanks!
Hey! I've seen people mention that they have used microfiber towels to dry themselves off after a shower, and I'd like to try the same. I've been looking around online but I'm not sure which type to go for. Does anybody have recommendations for towels that have an appropriate size (around 180cm in length) for drying off after a shower? I feel like I would prefer a terry looped towel with a short-medium gsm
Thank you!
Sorry if this is a hyper basic question: but are all microfibres for cleaning your laptop screen equal? I've noticed some have a fluffs and feel 'prickly' on your hand, while others (like the ones that come with sunglasses) are smooth on all sides.
Which style would be best of a laptop screen?
I noticed that when I apply some of the alcohol while the clock was on the table the liquid left behind some traces of red dye.
I'm not sure if this is normal since I didn't hear microfiber would faded by alcohol. Is this normal sometimes?
I haven't noticed that my cloth has actually faded in colour but it does leave a bit of dye.
When I put 70% isopropyl alcohol on my microfiber cloth, it leaves a stain but washes off with water.
This site says it should not stain, but in my case it does. What does this mean?
Why does isopropyl alcohol leave a stain on microfiber if it's only water and alcohol by content?
I looked at the ingredients and there's no mentioning of "dyes" of any sort that can stain clothes.
