Step
Method 1 of 5: Machine Cleaning Microfiber Cloth
Step 1. Wash fabrics separately from clothes and linens
Otherwise, the dirt on the fabric can transfer to other clothes.
Step 2. Remove stains if any
This step is optional - if you're okay with the stain on the cleaning cloth, skip this step.
Step 3. Wash the cloth in hot water
Hot water can also lift the worst dirt. The washing machine will help to remove dirt if you use hot water.
Step 4. Hang the cloth on a dry rack
Fabrics can also be dried in a washer dryer, but this is a waste of energy as air drying is quick so you don't have to use the dryer just to clean the fabric.
Method 2 of 5: Hand Cleaning Microfiber Cloth
Step 1. Moisten the cloth
Then, apply a paste made of baking soda with a little water on a cloth. Leave it for half an hour. The baking soda will absorb the odor and start cleaning the fabric.
Step 2. Fill the sink with warm water and soap
Dip the cloth and rub the cloth gently between your hands. Clean all the paste and dirt will also be lifted.
Step 3. Rinse
Use cold or warm water to rinse the cloth.
Step 4. Add a few drops of lemon juice on each cloth after rinsing to give it a fresh scent
Step 5. Hang to dry
The fabric will be beautiful and clean again.

Step 4. Put it in the washing machine
Wash only this cloth to avoid transferring grease, oil, etc. to other clothes. Add a little more laundry detergent than usual (but don't overdo it on a front loader, as this can damage the machine). Wash on the heat setting.
Step 5. Remove and let dry
Method 4 of 5: Cleaning Microfiber Towels

Tips
- Stains on a microfiber material usually do not affect its ability to clean, dust or dry; Even though it looks different, this material can still function.
- If you are using a dryer to dry the microfibers, use a low heat setting, otherwise the fabric may melt. Also dry this cloth yourself without other clothes. When mixed with fabrics, fur, etc., these materials can be attracted to the microfiber cloth and make cleaning a waste!
- Microsuede is part of the microfiber family. For cleaning tips, see the guide to cleaning microsuede and microsuede furniture on Wikihow.
Warning
- Do not use fabric softener on microfiber cloths; The softener can clog the fabric and make it ineffective when cleaning or drying.
- Do not bleach on microfiber cloths; Bleach will cause the fibers to deteriorate and lose their strength.
- Do not iron the microfiber cloth. Fabric fibers can melt.
