How do I wash Ultra Pro Cloth?
Machine wash at 30 to 40 degrees with a gentle microfibre-safe detergent like Sensitive Laundry Liquid or Sensitive Laundry Sheets. Normal or gentle spin. Skip fabric softener, bleach, and dryer sheets, which coat or break down microfibre loops and destroy absorbency.
✓ How to wash
Temperature: 30 to 40 degrees (cool or warm).
Detergent: Sensitive Laundry Liquid or Sensitive Laundry Sheets.
Spin: Normal to gentle. The dense weave handles standard spins well.
⚠ Avoid
Fabric softener coats the microfibre loops and kills absorbency. Bleach and chlorine break down the weave and strip the silver treatment. Dryer sheets leave the same residue softeners do. All three defeat the point of a finishing cloth.
How should I dry Ultra Pro Cloth?
Line-dry in a shaded, airy spot where possible. If you tumble dry, use low heat only. High heat shrinks the fibres and flattens the loop pile, which reduces absorbency and polish performance. Never iron. Direct sunlight for long periods can fade the deep green over time.
✓ Preferred: line-dry
Hang in a shaded, airy spot. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods to protect the deep colour.
✓ Optional: tumble-dry low
Low heat only. High heat shrinks the fibres and flattens the loop pile, reducing absorbency and polish performance. Never iron.
How do I refresh Ultra Pro Cloth between washes?
Between machine washes, rinse the cloth in warm water, gently wring out the dirty water, and hang to air-dry. The silver nano treatment does the work of keeping odour-causing bacteria in check between proper washes, so a quick rinse and air-dry is enough for most cleaning sessions.
Quick refresh
Rinse the cloth in warm water.
Wring gently (no twisting) to expel dirty water.
Hang by the edge binding so air flows through the loops.
Storage
Store completely dry in a cool cupboard. Damp storage breeds odour-causing bacteria despite the silver nano treatment. The treatment slows bacterial growth, it doesn't eliminate it.
Will Ultra Pro Cloth bleed colour in the first wash?
Possibly, yes. Minor dye bleed is normal for deep-tone microfibre in the first few cycles. Wash Ultra Pro Cloth separately (or with similar dark colours) for the first three or four washes. The bleed settles quickly and won't affect cleaning performance.
⚠ First few washes
Keep dark cloths separate or wash with similar deep tones for the first few cycles. Once the loose dye settles, you can wash with most coloured loads without worrying about bleed.
Professional-grade finishing cloth. Streak-free glass, benchtops, mirrors, and stainless steel.
Wash with Koh
Keep Ultra Pro Cloth performing at its best. Sensitive Laundry Liquid and Sensitive Laundry Sheets are gentle on microfibre loops and free of fabric softener and harsh chemicals.
