Hello, recently I have started using microfiber cloths after watching your videos and its really impressive 👏 Now I am maintaining kitchen and bathroom in a better way. I have few questions 1. Every time we use the clothes should we put it for laundry? Especially the ones which we use for kitchen counter and bathroom tubs? 2. How to store used Microfiber cloths until put them for laundry? If it is wet after using in bath tub is it good practice to hang them in bathroom until they get dry and wash them together later?

I dont hear ANYONE mention this, but the BEST prewash cleaning you can give the microfibers is to take them outside, place them on a flat clean plastic tub on the outside, grab a tight hold of the towel on the plastic and use a strong nozzle on a garden hose and BLAST out all the dirt in the towel. If you dont have a garden hose, you can also use the kitchen sink head spray and burst away dirt. I enjoyed your video as well!!

I work in a woodshop and purchased a roll of tear-away microfibers from the auto parts section of a well-known retailer. Super cheap because, well, they get ruined with glue. We use a water resistant glue, with some using water proof glue. Once dry, these are un-savable. Then I had a thought .. We use plain old white vinegar to remove glue residue from wood grain, so, would this work for microfibers? Could I soak them in white vinegar to release the glue and then wash them? It's a water-based PVA, like school glue. Vinegar would only help to clean the washer (as well as offer a bit of fabric softener action without the build-up and maintain the static when drying). Is there any detriment to soaking a microfiber overnight in white vinegar?

I wash underwear in hot, too, to kill the highest percentage of fecal matter possible (saw some numbers on that somewhere about the % left from washing in only warm water vs hot). I will adjust my expectations regarding their life span. Being a good steward of the clothes is important, but at the end of the day I expect them to serve me, not the other way around.

Hi Melissa, If you have a bunch of microfiber cloths to rinse, what do you think of just popping them in the washing machine on cold, no detergent, and then putting them through a wash cycle, as usual, with detergent? Do you think that would do the trick? Also, is adding vinegar to the wash cycle a no-no, too, for microfiber cloths? And, what would you guesstimate is the average deduction - % wise - in the number of uses of a microfiber cloth that has been through the hottest possible washing cycle?

This might be a dumb question, but when you launder your microfiber cloths do you wash your towels (like your Maker's Clean bath towels or dish towels) separately from your cleaning microfiber cloths? The reason I'm asking is that I refuse to wash anything by hand unless it is almost a life threatening situation (I'm being a bit facetious here) that I have to. For the amount of microfiber cloths that I so far have accumulated, it is only a small load and if I keep them separate, I would be washing 2 towels by themselves. Normally, I would never consider washing cleaning cloths with any sort of towel - I don't even wash my ordinary dish towels with bath towels - they each get their own load.
@FallenAngelofTime

For my normal wash, i would keep them separate, but since I don't have a lot of microfiber clothes, if I split the microfiber clothes, I would be washing 2 microfiber dish towels by themselves, which is a pain and a waste of water even using the smallest load on my washer.
