HOW TO CLEAN YOUR MICROFIBER CLOTHS
CLEANING MICROFIBER CLOTHS
The Best Natural & Enzymatic Solutions for Cleaning Microfiber Cloths
Microfiber cloths are household heroes—trapping dirt, absorbing spills, and polishing surfaces without chemicals. But to keep them working effectively, proper cleaning is essential. Harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners can degrade the fibers over time, reducing their cleaning power. Fortunately, there are natural and enzymatic cleaning solutions that are safe, effective, and eco-friendly.
In this post, we’ll show you how to clean your microfiber cloths using two powerful methods: a natural vinegar soak and a gentle enzymatic cleaner.
🍋 Natural Cleaning Solution for Microfiber
This simple vinegar-based method is perfect for routine deep cleans.
✅ What You’ll Need:
- 1 cup distilled white vinegar
- 1–2 gallons of warm water
🧽 Instructions:
- Soak: Fill a sink or basin with warm water and add the vinegar.
- Submerge: Place your microfiber cloths in the solution and let them soak for 15–30 minutes.
- Agitate: Gently swish the cloths by hand to release grime and buildup.
- Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with cool water.
- Air Dry: Lay flat or hang to dry. Avoid fabric softeners or dryer sheets.
🌿 Why It Works:
Vinegar breaks down oils, detergent residue, and buildup without damaging the fibers. It also helps deodorize and sanitize naturally.
Enzymatic Cleaning Solution for Microfiber
If your microfiber cloths have absorbed protein-rich stains, grease, or food residues, an enzymatic cleaner is your best bet.
✅ What You’ll Need:
- 1 cup warm (not hot) water
- 1 tbsp of a natural enzymatic cleaner (e.g., Biokleen Bac-Out, Puracy, or Nature’s Miracle)
- Optional: A few drops of fragrance-free castile soap
🧼 Instructions:
- Mix: Combine the ingredients in a bowl or spray bottle.
- Soak or Spray:
- For tough messes: Soak the cloths in the solution for 30–60 minutes.
- For lighter soils: Spray directly and let sit for 10–15 minutes.
- Rinse Thoroughly
- Air Dry
🧪 How It Works:
Enzymes like protease, lipase, and amylase break down proteins, fats, and starches at a molecular level. This makes them ideal for tackling organic messes—without leaving residue or harming the microfiber’s structure.
🛒 Recommended Enzymatic Cleaners
- Biokleen Bac-Out – Plant-based, great for laundry and home cleaning
- Puracy Natural Stain Remover – Effective and biodegradable
- Nature’s Miracle Unscented – Originally for pet stains, but excellent for microfiber
🚫 What to Avoid When Cleaning Microfiber
- No bleach – It weakens the fibers.
- No fabric softener or dryer sheets – They coat the fibers and reduce effectiveness.
- No high heat – Always air dry or tumble dry on low heat.
Microfiber cloths are reusable, sustainable, and long-lasting—but only if cleaned properly. By using these natural and enzymatic methods, you can keep your microfiber cloths performing like new—without relying on harsh chemicals or wasteful products.
