    Before You Wash

    1

    Always wash new microfibre towels prior to first use to remove any loose factory production fibres.

    2

    Always wash newer black, orange and red coloured towels separately from lighter coloured towels to avoid any risk of bleeding.

    Thorough Cleaning

    All microfibre towels from The Rag Company are machine washable. Do not exceed 40°C, at the risk of damaging the fibres and leaving them much less effective.

    Do
    • Machine wash in warm water with Rags to Riches
    • Tumble dry low heat / no heat, or hang to dry
    • Only wash with other non-linting materials (no cotton!) to maintain proper water and dirt-gripping properties and lint-free characteristics
    Don't
    • Iron
    • Use any fabric softener, as this clogs the microfibres and reduces performance
    • Use chlorine bleach, as this prematurely breaks down the fibres and reduces or eliminates the valuable dust and dirt collecting electrical charge of microfibre

    Sorting: treat microfibre like your regular laundry sort. Don't wash brightly coloured (red, orange) or black towels with lightly coloured (light blue, yellow) or white towels, as bleeding may occur with newer towels.

    Advice: keep used or dirty microfibre towels in a separate bin from your regular laundry to reduce the risk of accidentally damaging your valuable microfibre by washing them together.
