Introduction
Keeping your microfiber towels clean is essential to achieving a flawless finish in car detailing. Whether you’re drying, polishing, or applying ceramic coatings, properly maintained microfiber cloths will help you avoid scratches, swirl marks, and poor product performance. In this post, we’ll guide you through how to wash microfiber towels effectively and safely — and introduce you to Good Stuff Microfiber Wash, your new go-to solution for microfiber care.
Why Properly Washing Microfiber Towels Matters
Microfiber towels are a detailer’s best friend. Thanks to their ultra-fine fibers, they trap dirt, absorb water, and apply products with precision. But if not cleaned correctly, these same fibers can become clogged with contaminants or stiffen over time, reducing their softness and absorbency. Worse, leftover waxes, sealants, or grime can scratch your car’s paint the next time you use them.
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Wash Microfiber Towels
1. Shake Off Loose Debris
Shake each towel thoroughly to remove dirt or dust trapped in the fibers. This step reduces the chance of abrasive particles staying in the wash.
2. Use the Right Detergent
Never use regular laundry detergent, fabric softener, or bleach — they can coat or damage the microfiber. Instead, use a dedicated microfiber detergent like Good Stuff Microfiber Wash.
Formulated specifically for microfiber cloths, it breaks down oils, waxes, and residues without clogging the fibers.
3. Select the Proper Washing Cycle
-
Use warm water (not hot).
-
Choose a gentle or microfiber-safe cycle on your washing machine.
-
Add the appropriate amount of Microfiber Wash — follow the dosage on the labe
4. Dry with Care
-
Avoid high heat. Microfiber can melt at high temperatures.
-
Tumble dry on low or no heat, or better yet, air dry your towels completely.
Extra Tips to Prolong the Life of Your Microfiber Towels
-
Never iron or expose microfiber to heat sources.
-
Avoid fabric softeners at all costs — they will ruin the absorbency.
-
Store clean towels in a sealed container to keep dust away.
-
Inspect towels after each wash. Retire any that feel rough or have picked up debris.
