Should You Dry Microfiber Cloths in the Dryer?

Can You Put Microfiber Cloths in the Dryer? Yes — If You’re Careful

Growing up, my mom had strict laundry rules — especially about fuzzy items and dryers. I ignored them,

tossed my microfiber cloths in with everything else, and learned the hard way: they came out stiff and useless.

So, yes, you can dry icrofiber cloths in the dryer — but only on low or no heat, and never with fabric softener.

Why? Microfiber is made of ultra-fine synthetic fibers that trap dust and absorb liquids. High heat can melt or

fuse those fibers, ruining their effectiveness. And fabric softeners? They coat the fibers with residue, killing absorbency.

Proper Washing Tips:

Wash separately — microfiber attracts lint.

Use cold water and a mild, fragrance-free detergent.

Avoid bleach and boosters.

Choose a gentle cycle and don’t overload.

For Greasy or Heavily Soiled Cloths:

Rinse by hand first.

Soak in a vinegar-water mix (¼ cup vinegar per gallon).

Wash as usual.

Best Drying Practices:

Air dry if you can.

Or machine dry on low or no heat (air fluff setting).

Absolutely no dryer sheets.

Storage & Maintenance:

Store in clean, lint-free containers.

Color-code for different tasks.

Expect 100–500 washes before replacement.

Bonus Tip: Use distilled water with microfiber on glass to avoid streaks from tap water minerals.

Bottom line: Drying is fine — just handle with care.

Microfiber lasts longer when treated right. And yes… mom was totally right.
