How do I wash and care for Ultra Pro Cloth?Updated 2 days ago
TL;DR: Machine wash Ultra Pro Cloth with a mild liquid detergent like Sensitive Laundry Liquid or Sensitive Laundry Sheets, free of dyes, fragrances, bleach, and softeners. Skip fabric softener, chlorine bleach, dryer sheets, and cotton wash partners. Tumble dry low and never iron. Wash dark cloths separately for the first few washes to handle minor dye bleed.
How do I wash Ultra Pro Cloth?
✓ How to wash
First use: wash before first use to unlock full absorbency. Microfibre ships with a light protective finish.
Detergent: mild liquid detergent free of dyes, fragrances, bleach, and softeners, like Sensitive Laundry Liquid or Sensitive Laundry Sheets.
Wash partners: wash only with other non-linting materials. Never with cotton, which sheds lint the microfibre grabs.
Darks first: wash dark cloths separately for the first few washes to limit dye bleed.
⚠ Avoid
Fabric softener clogs the microfibre and reduces performance. Chlorine bleach breaks down the fibres. Dryer sheets leave the same residue softener does. Cotton sheds lint that the microfibre will grab. All four defeat the point of a finishing cloth.
How should I dry Ultra Pro Cloth?
✓ Tumble dry low
The care label specifies tumble dry on low heat. Keep it off high heat, which is hard on the loop pile, and never iron.
✓ Or line-dry in shade
Line-drying works too. Hang in a shaded, airy spot and avoid prolonged direct sunlight to protect the deep colour from fading.
How do I refresh Ultra Pro Cloth between washes?
✓ Quick refresh
Rinse the cloth in warm water.
Wring gently without twisting to expel dirty water.
Hang by the edge binding so air flows through the loops.
✓ Storage
Store completely dry in a cool cupboard. The nano-silver treatment slows odour-causing bacteria but doesn't eliminate it, so putting it away damp can still leave it smelling off.
Will Ultra Pro Cloth bleed colour in the first wash?
⚠ First few washes
Minor dye bleed is normal for deep-tone microfibre. Wash Ultra Pro Cloth separately, or with similar dark colours, for the first few washes. Once the loose dye settles, you can wash it with most coloured loads. The bleed doesn't affect cleaning performance.
Professional-grade finishing cloth. 1000 GSM, absorbs more than 11× its weight, nano-silver treated. Streak-free glass, benchtops, mirrors, and stainless steel.
