Here are a few key laundry tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Wash microfiber towels separately from other fabrics at first to avoid lint transfer. Once conditioned, they can be washed with like colors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a liquid laundry detergent, not powder detergent which gets trapped in the fibers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Skip the fabric softener which coats fibers and reduces absorbency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shake towels before washing to dislodge dirt and debris.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wash in warm or hot water to sanitize. Cool water can leave oils and grime behind.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use an extra rinse cycle to remove all detergent residue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Air fluff towels in the dryer and remove just before fully dry. Line or flat dry avoids matting fibers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wash microfiber every few uses depending on the cleaning task.
