Microfiber
is a great new technology, with many applications in the
cleaning industry. Cleaning with microfiber products is
fast, easy and environmentally friendly. With microfiber
products you rarely need to use chemicals. It is sometimes
described as having a magnetic attraction to dirt and dust.
Our microfiber products are extremely soft, they never scratch
any surface, but at the same time they are sturdy and tough
on dirt.
The secret behind microfiber
technology is the blend of microscopic polyester and polyamide
fibers which are split in such a way as to create microscopic
"hooks" which act as claws that scrape up and
hold dust, dirt, and grime.
Imagine a microscopic
plastic wire that cuts through and breaks apart dust, dirt,
grime and moisture, and then picks it up like a magnet without
scratching the surface.
The splitting of these
fibers is what makes microfiber so effective as a cleaning
material. You have probably heard of weatherproof microfiber
clothing. The material used to make these items (polyamide
and polyester) is similar to our microfiber, but there is
one very important difference. Microfibers that are meant
for cleaning are split, creating the microscopic hooks that
pick up dirt and an absorb water. Our microfiber products
can absorb up to 7 times their weight in water. Microfiber
cleaning products do not scratch surfaces if used correctly.

Proper Care of your Microfiber:
Cleaning Instructions:
Wash with warm soapy
water, and rinse well. Can be cleaned in washer and dryer.
DO NOT USE bleach or fabric softeners of any kind. Fabric
softeners clog the microfibers, making the cloth less effective.
DO NOT IRON.
• The Towel is woven
of unique Microfiber. It is made entirely of natural materials;
no artificial fibers of any kind are used in the weaving
or sewing of this amazing product.
• It is easy to clean
and with proper care will last a very long time.
• The first thing you
should do when you get a new Towel is to wash and dry it.
During the manufacturing process the fabric has a tendency
to become flat as it picks up contaminants from the air
and machinery. There will also be a number of loose threads
that, while they cause no harm, can be annoying the first
time you use the towel.
• To clean the towel
simply washes it in your washing machine using warm or hot
water. If you use hot water the temperature should not exceed
150 degrees F.
• Always wash your
towels separately from other fabrics. They have a tendency
to pick up lint and other particles from other fabrics and
the next time you use your towels this lint will transfer
to the surface being cleaned, only making your job harder.
• ONLY
USE LIQUID DETERGENTS SUCH AS MICRO-RESTORE, never
use dry detergents as many times the granules do not fully
dissolve and become trapped in the towel. This can cause
scratching of the surface you are cleaning.
• NEVER
USE BLEACH OR FABRIC SOFTENERS! You simply don't
need them. Bleach will damage any fine fabric and fabric
softeners deposit a chemical coating on the fabric that
you really don't want to transfer to your car's finish or
windows.
• Either air dry the
towel on a clean line or in your clothes dryer using low
heat. AVOID HIGH HEAT! High
dryer temperatures won’t damage the towel but can reduce
the towel's life span. Also, don't use those toss in fabric
softener towels, all they do is deposit chemicals on the
fabric that will transfer off to whatever you are cleaning
or polishing with the towel.
• If you wash your
towels on a regular basis and don't let them get too dirty
they will last much longer. As with any fine fabric dirt
particles, grease, and other contaminants can cause the
fibers to break down so regular cleaning will go a long
way in preserving your towels.
• The more the towel
is cleaned the fluffier and softer it will get
• As you use the DF
Concours Towel you will notice that sometimes a thread will
loosen or pull out here or there. This is normal for terrycloth
and you should NEVER PULL AT THE LOOSE
THREAD! Pulling the thread can cause the weave to
come undone or stitching to unravel. Instead, simply trim
the thread with a pair of sharp scissors to about 1/4 of
an inch from the surface, don't cut too closely. Think of
it as giving your towel a haircut from time to time.
