How do I wash Universal Cloths?
Wash Universal Cloths and Glass Cloths separately from whites at a maximum of 60 degrees, using Sensitive Laundry Liquid or Sensitive Laundry Sheets. Skip bleach and fabric softener, which coat the microfibre loops and reduce absorbency over time. Rinse cloths after each use, wring gently, and store fully dry.
✓ Temperature and detergent
Cool to warm cycle, maximum 60°C. Use Sensitive Laundry Liquid or Sensitive Laundry Sheets. Separate colours from whites to prevent dye transfer onto light-coloured cloths.
⚠ Avoid
No bleach, no fabric softener, and no harsh laundry boosters. All three coat the microfibre loops and reduce absorbency and scrubbing performance over time.
Quick care between washes
Rinse cloths after use under warm running water to remove any cleaning product residue.
Wring gently to squeeze out water. Hard twisting damages the microfibre loops.
Store fully dry. Damp storage breeds odour-causing bacteria and mildew.
How should I dry Universal Cloths?
Line-dry Universal Cloths and Glass Cloths in open air for best results and longest cloth life. If you need to use a dryer, tumble on low heat only. High heat permanently flattens the microfibre loops and reduces both absorbency and scrubbing performance. Air-dry outdoors when possible so cloths fully dry and don't hold moisture.
✓ Preferred: line-dry
Line-dry in open air for best results and longest cloth life. Hang on a clothesline, rack, or over a shower rail until fully dry.
⚠ If using a dryer
Tumble-dry on low heat only. High heat permanently flattens the microfibre loops and reduces performance. Skip dryer sheets, since they coat the fibres with the same residue as fabric softener.
Can I use the same wash for Glass Cloths?
Yes. Glass Cloths are part of the Universal Cloths range and share the same polyester microfibre construction as the blue Universal Cloths. Same temperature, same detergent, same drying rules. With proper care, every cloth in the range can last up to 3,000 washes.
