5 Tips for Cleaning With Microfiber Towels
Posted by ERC Wiping Products on Feb 24th 2025
Microfiber towels provide an easy cleaning solution for the hospitality, automotive, and food service industries, among many others. ERC Wiping Products offers high-quality bulk microfiber towels for cleaning, dusting, and polishing tasks. Here are a few tips for cleaning with microfiber:
1. Select the Towel Type
ERC Wiping Products carries several different microfiber towel varieties. Traditional microfiber cloths are typically made from a polyamide blend. The tiny, dense fibers easily pick up dirt and dust on appliances, baseboards, fixtures, and more. They are also very absorbent and can be used on delicate surfaces like glass, electronics, and car interiors and exteriors.
Waffle weave microfiber towels have a grid-like texture, which creates small pockets that trap and absorb moisture. These cloths are great for drying cars, countertops, windows, and more. Microfiber glass cloths have a smooth texture that makes them perfect for cleaning glass, mirrors, stemware, and silverware. Glass cloths release particles when rinsed and reduce the amount of chemicals needed for cleaning, which improves efficiency and saves money over time.
2. Color Coordinate the Towels
Bulk microfiber towels come in a variety of colors. Our colors include but are not limited to red, green, blue, yellow, gray, and black. Color-coordinating your towels based on the area you are cleaning will help prevent cross-contamination. For example, employees can use red for bathrooms, blue for desks and counters, and yellow for floors. You can purchase bulk towels by the 50 pack on our website.
3. Use Wet or Dry
Whether you use a wet or dry microfiber towel will depend on your cleaning task. Dry towels work well for cleaning activities like dusting or polishing glass and mirrors. They will not leave any lint or streaks behind, providing a spotless finish. Dry cloths are also a good option when you need to absorb large spills or water leaks.
To clean up sticky or greasy spills, use a damp microfiber cloth. You can also combine the damp cloth with a general cleaning solution to remove stubborn stains. The damp cloth will help loosen the grime from the surface, which you can then wipe away.
4. Wash Immediately After Use
It's always best to wash your microfiber towels after each use to prevent buildup and damage. Our durable cloths are machine washable and made to withstand hundreds of cycles without losing their effectiveness. Avoid adding fabric softener, as it will clog the fibers and negatively affect the towel's performance. Just add a gentle detergent and cool or warm water to your wash cycle to remove dirt and grime.
5. Dry With Low Heat
After washing your microfiber towels, dry them on a low setting or allow them to air dry. High-heat settings can damage the fibers of your cloth, causing them to shrink or start to break down. Slightly damp microfiber cloths may harbor mold growth, so verify that the towels are fully dry before folding and storing them on your shelves.
