Cleaning Your Promotional Microfibre Cloths
Last Updated: 24 July 2026
Key Points
- Regular cleaning keeps microfibre cloths working well. If the fibres get dirty, they stop trapping dust and can even spread grime.
- The best way to care for them is simple. Wash with mild soap or in the washing machine, then let them air dry to keep the fibres in good shape.
- Clean your cloths as soon as you notice dirt or any smell. This helps prevent damage and keeps your branding looking its best.
Here’s an industry secret: the most effective promotional items aren’t pens or mousepads, but microfibre cloths. These handy fabrics are a great way to reach your guests with custom branding. Just remember, you need to keep them clean. I’ll explain why next.
Why They’re A Best-Selling Merch
Many technology-related firms love to order these microfibre cloths as giveaways. When asked why, they mentioned that these items are:
- Handy (easy for them to transport to events and for the recipients to bring home)
- Useful
- Affordable (they can order a lot and stock for future marketing campaigns)
- Give them to many people (increased reach)
In fact, our account managers, Shealeigh Keeney and Alice Borja, treat these items as one of their go-to suggestions for event merch.
Do you know how to clean them?
Everyone who uses microfibre cloths, at home or work, needs to clean them regularly. These cloths are great at picking up dust and dirt, but if you don’t wash them often, they get full of grime and stop working as well.
Keeping your microfibre towels clean helps them look good for longer. Washing them often prevents the fibres from breaking down due to oils and other residues. This means your towels last longer, save you money, and work better each time you use them.
How To Clean Microfibre Cloths?
Cleaning a microfibre cloth is easy. All you need is soap and water.
- Wet the cloth.
- Rub it with a bar of soap.
- Rinse it well.
Microfibre cloths dry quickly. Just hang them up in sunlight, and after wringing them out, they’ll be dry in minutes. You can also clean microfibre cloths in the washing machine, just like you would with other clothes.
