Norwex Microfiber Use & Care

To use your microfiber cleaning cloths, fold the cloth in half.  Fold it again.  You now have a total of 8 clean sides to clean with.  For the window and car cloth, fold it again and you have 16 sides to work with.  Place your whole hand on the cloth and wipe with even strokes.  The cloth should be flat against the cleaning surface.  Cleaning this way effectively removes 99.9% of bacteria from any hard surface!

To take care of your microfiber cloths, simply rinse under warm to hot water and rub the cloth together.  This will release the dirt and bacteria and wash it down the drain.  Hand to dry.  My home now has a number of the white sticky hooks you can buy all over my home with microfiber cloths hanging from them!  I have these behind kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors so my cloths are always easily accessible.  To save the environment and reduce the use of detergents, we suggest that cloths and mops which are slightly dirty be washed with a little dish detergent under warm running water and used again before laundering.  You DO NOT have to wash with soap after each use if not dirty, but you should always rinse under warm to hot running water. 

When they need it, they can be washed and dried in your machines using any laundry soap. Dry them with low-lint items (ie, sheets or jeans), because the microfiber will grab lint off other things in your dryer if it gets a chance! Do not use fabric softener or bleach! Bleach degrades the microfiber, and fabric softener coats the fibers and wrecks their grabbing power.   To deep clean, remove stubborn stains or odors from cloths Norwex microfiber can be boiled for 10 minutes to allow fibers to swell and release debris.  This process is great to help maintain the “grab power” of the microfiber as the soap residue can coat the fibers and leave them less effective for grabbing the grime and bacteria from surfaces.
