Hi - I bought the giant microwipe and it has a wash tag on it for the hottest temp 90 - so maybe if you put it on the whites cycle -
 found it to be a great cloth for a newbie like me who probably resorts too much to post squeegie repairs
Never paid much attention to the different sides just used it like a normal scrim

thanxs, looks like i will have to buy a few then,and get the wife to wash em all at weekend.

[rosskesava]

Don't stick them in with ordinary clothes like I did.

They come out smelling of whatever cleaning stuff you use.

My missus went nuts when she put her undies on.

There's a chap on ebay selling the large ones for £5.00, just got 4 delivered today, spot on.

(Hope that link works, if it doesn't just do a search on "Unger"

We've been using them since I bought the first two at the NEC show in March, love them. 

Just wash as normal, don't use any conditioner. I can't get all the black rubber marks out either.

yep important as lionheart says DONT USE CONDITIONER!! your microfibres will get clogged and become naff!

Ye but what side do you use? 1 side is smoother then the other.

[Ian_Giles]

Use both sides, they aren't 'side specific'.
Odd things too aren't they, when you are using them they feel like a new chamois leather.

Don't wrry about the few marks that may still be on them when they come out tof the washing machine, you aren't wearing them for Sunday best, you're cleaning windows with them!

Beware conditioner though Actually, I've never liked using conditioner with scrims either, better off without it

[rosskesava]

My missus always adds conditioner to the scrims and microfibres.

It send me nuts because it does seem to affect detailing.

Not when they're completely dry but when they get a little bit damp.

mmm...definately affects the absorbancy....and I reckon leaves greasy bits and smears.....hard to remember now...

[rosskesava]

hard to remember now...

I think you're making a point there but the thing is, I can't quiet work out what.......

Either that or you're getting old...... 

[Duke]

nor me..lost to bedtime...

hi just got 2 more microfiber,s the wife said if she can get the marks out my undies, microfiber no problem

[petetaylor56]

 :)i wash mine at 90 degrees with a tesco cheapy soap tablet then put them in tumble dryer no prob

[The Bear]

Tumble drying??

This would fluff scim, is it ok for micro fibre???

[karlosdaze]

how do you clean microfiber

With another microfibre?

[Ian_Giles]

I have always tumble dried my scrims, even in the summer, usually 30 minutes before I go out of the door, well actually it tends to end out that I am walking out of the door, bang on time and then realise all scrims are still in the washing machine
So it's a case of slapping 3 scrim in the drier and slapping myself around the head for 20 minutes in frustration as I wait for them to dry.

I've found the microfibres take longer to dry than scrim though, the result of the much denser weave no doubt
