How should I wash and dry the Dusting Mitt?Updated 3 days ago

How to wash

⚠ Avoid

Fabric softener coats the chenille fibres and reduces the mitt's ability to pick up dust, which defeats its job and shortens its useful life. Skip bleach too, and don't use a hot wash, since the care label calls for cold water.

✓ Air-dry flat or hang

After washing, lay it flat on a drying rack or hang it in a shaded, airy spot until completely dry. Store it dry to prevent musty odours. The 100% polyester chenille behind that care label is covered in what it is made from.

⚠ Never tumble-dry

The care label says do not tumble dry, as the heat damages the mitt. Skip ironing and direct radiators too, and avoid prolonged direct sun, which can fade the colour.

✓ Quick refresh routine

Take the mitt outside and give it a brisk shake to release trapped dust, then lightly brush the fibres with your free hand to fluff the pile back up. The combination extends time between washes and keeps the chenille performing, especially during back-to-back cleaning sessions. It is tested to withstand up to 50 machine washes while keeping its effectiveness, as covered in how long it lasts.

✓ Between-rooms rinse

For heavier build-up mid-clean, rinse the mitt lightly under cold water and air-dry it flat before the next room. That keeps the fibres grabbing dust without using a full machine wash, and it suits the dry-first method in how to use it.
