microfiber cloths

[Bonnie]

I know I shouldn't wash microfiber cloths with towels but what about
anything else? What about the synthetic sheep skin wool thing my pooches
rest on?

I wasn't aware that was a no no, do you have the reasons why?
I've washed mine in a mixed wash and boil wash before now without a
problem.

I wash mine also. I just don't use fabric softener on them.

OK. I thought I had heard that somewhere about the towels. Something about
attracting the towel lint. Guess not. I
don't use fabric softener on my towels because I think it reduces their
absorbency properties. But I guess I'll just wash my microfiber with any
other item from now on.

What is a boil wash?

Thanks

No no no! The microfiber cloths will pick up lint from any other type of
fabric. They need to be wash alone and without fabric softener.

What are microfiber cloths? I don't think I've ever used them, unless they
are like the cloths come with a Swifter. Are they used for dusting? Sorry
to be so clueless, but any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. Sis

What you can read here will explain it better than I can. I can say that
they are unbelievable and really do work.

Yes...that's it! Anything that produces lint shouldn't be washed with
microfiber. And No bleach either.

Thanks Wayne.
