Proper laundering and care of your microfiber will prolong its life. Norwex microfiber has a high thread count making it extremely durable, so it can be safely be laundered up to 500 times.
LAUNDERING INSTRUCTIONS:
Launder all microfiber in a washing machine using quality laundry powder in cold, warm or hot water. (I recommend using the hottest wash available). Remember:
DEEP CLEANING:
Norwex recommends you DEEP CLEAN your microfiber twice a year. If your cloths start to repell water (appear to repel water/you have problems wetting them) or start streaking you may need to do it sooner. To revitalize your microfiber by deep cleaning you need to:
OOPS ... What if I?
Washed my microfiber in bleach?
- not much you can do about this one, sorry. The bleach breaks down the fiber and unfortunately you can't repair it.
Washed my microfiber with fabric softener?
- Deep Cleaning your cloths should remove the fabric softener residue
Washed/dried my microfiber with towels/linty items?
- I would recommend you Deep Clean your cloths as some of the lint may come out when the microfiber swells. If you tried deep cleaning your cloths but they are still streaking or are not grabbing dirt, grime or soap scum while cleaning you probably need to replace them.
LAUNDERING INSTRUCTIONS:
Launder all microfiber in a washing machine using quality laundry powder in cold, warm or hot water. (I recommend using the hottest wash available). Remember:
- NO BLEACH or detergents with bleach additives as these degrade the fibers
- NO FABRIC SOFTENERS (liquid or dryer sheets) as these will coat the fibers and diminish their ability to pick up dust, dirt and grime
- NO LINT as lint will clog the microfiber. Wash and dry with other microfiber or low lint items (i.e. sheets)
DEEP CLEANING:

STEP 1: Soak your microfiber in a 1:1 water to vinegar solution for one hour.

(Vinegar is a weak acid that will remove any hard water scale)
STEP 2: Place your cloths in a large pot of CLEAN water and bring it to a boil. Boil for 15 minutes (DO NOT boil in the water/vinegar solution). Boiling the microfiber will open the fibers and release debris and grease caught deep within. Remember to USE LOTS OF WATER when boiling!
STEP 3: Launder normally with quality laundry powder.
STEP 4: Dry in a hot dryer for 1 hour.
