Don’t Mix With Laundry
Do not mix the load with your usual laundry. Instead, make a laundry load comprised only of microfiber products. Remember that cotton and microfiber are not the same.
Don’t Use Bleach or Fabric Softeners

I remember it like it was yesterday. I’m referring of course to my first two weeks in my Cayman S.
