Title: fabric softener
Post by: ray l on October 29, 2010, 12:43:04 pm

Hi all

My micro fibre cloths got washed with fabric softener( I know they shouldn,t)

 ( my own fault took some washing out of the machine so that my cloths would be ready next day, and never payed any notice to wife having softener already in draw)

Anyway will the softener wash out or are the cloths knackered.

Thanks
Ray

What does it matter, the cloths will still work just fine :)

The conditioner/softener reduces the absorption,makes em like the old army bog paper,doesn`t wipe anything off just spreads it !

The only place for fabric conditioner in window cleaning is for the empty containers.
The wide necks make them ideal caught short containers.
Don't waste it, take it home and empty it onto your compost heap, finest fertiliser going.
