How to Remove Slime From Microfibre Cloths
Lately each one of my microfibre cloths have felt slimy after just over a week of usage. Very annoying and because soap wasn’t getting the slime off, I would just chuck it in the bin and get out a new one. I did a quick google check on how to remove slime from microfibre cloths, but all the posts were relating to getting slime out of clothes.
The solutions were pointing to various products, which I didn’t have. But I saw one post that suggested adding white vinegar to the clothes and so I decided to give that a try in getting rid of the slime from my microfibre cloths. This is what I did.
Method To Remove Slime From Microfibre Cloths

Slimy Cloth(s)
Instructions
- In a large basin add enough water and 1/2 cup of white vinegar
