FAQs
Can these cloths be used on sensitive electronics screens?
While the microfibre is generally gentle, it is recommended to test on an inconspicuous area first or use a cloth specifically designed for electronics screens to avoid any potential micro-scratches on highly sensitive displays.
How many times can I wash these cloths?
These are heavy-duty cloths designed for durability. With proper care (machine washable, mild detergent, no fabric softener, low heat drying), they can be washed and reused many times.
What is the best way to dry the cloths?
Air drying is ideal for preserving the microfibre's integrity. If using a tumble dryer, select a low heat setting.
Can I use these cloths with household cleaners?
Yes, they are compatible with most cleaning solutions. However, always follow the instructions for the cleaning product and rinse the cloth thoroughly after use.
Are these cloths suitable for polishing?
Yes, their ability to provide a streak-free finish makes them suitable for polishing car exteriors and other surfaces after cleaning.
What makes these cloths 'heavy duty'?
The term 'heavy duty' refers to the robust construction and thicker microfibre material, which allows for greater absorbency and increased durability for tougher cleaning tasks.
Troubleshooting
Cloths are not absorbing water as well as before.
Ensure the cloths are clean. Residue from detergents or fabric softeners can reduce absorbency. Re-wash them using a mild detergent and no fabric softener, and air dry.
Leaving streaks on surfaces.
Check if the cloths are adequately clean. Dirt or dried residue can cause streaks. Also, ensure you are not using too much cleaning solution. Rinse the cloth frequently during use.
Cloths feel rough or stiff.
This can be caused by using fabric softener or washing at too high a temperature. Wash again with mild detergent only and air dry. Avoid tumble drying on high heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No setup is required. These cloths are ready to use straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: These cloths are compatible with most cleaning solutions for automotive use. They are suitable for use on car paintwork, glass, metal, plastic, and interior surfaces. For extremely delicate surfaces or screens, test on an inconspicuous area first.
Care: To maintain their performance and longevity:
- Machine Washable: Wash at a moderate temperature (e.g., 30-40°C or 85-105°F).
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the microfibres and reduce absorbency and effectiveness.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fibres.
- Separation: Wash separately from other laundry items, especially lint-producing fabrics, to prevent contamination.
