How do I wash a microfiber cloth?
It's a question as old as the detailing world itself. You just spent a small fortune on your Adam's Polishes kit, and now your microfiber cloths look like they’ve been through a demolition derby. Here's where the rubber meets the road. You need the ultimate guide to getting those cloths back to pristine condition, and I’m here to deliver it with the kind of no-holds-barred grit you’ve come to expect.
First things first: microfiber cloths are the unsung heroes of car detailing.
They can hold up to seven times their weight in water and capture dirt like a road-hugging sports car captures attention. But treat them wrong, and they're as useless as a bald tire in a rainstorm.
Step 1: Shake, Rattle, and Roll
Before you even think about water, give those microfiber cloths a good shake. Get rid of the loose debris, because washing them with dirt still clinging is like pouring premium gas into a diesel engine — pointless and destructive.
Step 2: Choose Your Detergent Wisely
Now, here's where we separate the rookies from the pros. Ordinary laundry detergent is a no-go. You want something that’s as uncompromising as a dragster on the strip. Adam's Polishes Microfiber Revitalizer is your go-to. It’s formulated to break down the grime without compromising the fibers. Anything less and you’re just spinning your wheels.

Step 3: Set the Temperature
Cold water? Lukewarm? No, sir. You need hot water to break down the oils and waxes that might have latched onto your cloths like barnacles on a hull. But not too hot — we’re not looking to boil spaghetti here. Think of it as the perfect day at the track, not too hot to scorch the rubber, but certainly enough to make the engine purr.
Step 4: Skip the Fabric Softener
Here’s a tip that’ll make you the envy of the detailing die-hards: fabric softener is your microfiber’s arch-nemesis. It coats the fibers in a residue that’s as sticky as a summer road in Arizona. Keep it out of your washing machine and out of your life.
Step 5: Wash Settings
Set your washer to a gentle cycle. You’re not tumbling rocks here. The gentle cycle will ensure that your microfiber cloths remain intact, just like a well-maintained engine ensures you’re not left eating dust on race day.
Step 6: Drying
Toss those cloths in the dryer on low heat. High heat is like redlining your engine — it’s tempting but ultimately destructive. And for the love of all that’s fast and furious, skip the dryer sheets. They’re the equivalent of throwing a wrench in the works.
Step 7: Storage
Once dry, store your microfiber cloths in a clean, dry place. Treat them like the precious detailing tools they are, not like some forgotten relic in your garage. This isn’t just about longevity; it’s about performance. And when you’ve got Adam's Polishes in your corner, performance is what you deliver.
So there you have it, the ultimate guide to washing your microfiber cloths, keeping them in peak condition and ready to tackle any detailing job you throw at them. Remember, in the high-octane world of car care, cutting corners is just as bad as cutting wires. Stick with the best — Adam's Polishes — and you’ll never be left in the dust.
