Just add water...
E-cloth cleaning is simple, but thorough.
It’s also easier and faster than how you’re used to cleaning.
Cleaning with E-cloth is simple – just add water and clean away. E-cloth is used dry for dusting, but for other types of cleaning water is the only cleaning companion*. (*Our Screen and Lens and Digital Photo Frame Cleaning Packs use CleanSafe Spray instead of water.)
E-cloth Etiquette?...When it comes to applying water we’ve found that there are two apparent types of “E-cloth Enthusiasts:” “The Sprayers” use E-cloth Atomizers to apply water, using dry E-cloths to clean. “The Soakers” wet their E-cloths under the faucet, wring them out, and clean. Often times a dry Glass & Polishing E-cloth is used as the finishing touch. The choice is yours.

A Few E-cloth Tips
- Fold the cloth and use as a pad. This ensures good contact of cloth with the surface at all times.
- Use the cloth from side to side or top to bottom of the surface to be cleaned, rather than rubbing around the area. This ensures that dirt on the surface is collected rather than smeared.
- Wet thoroughly, wring out all excess water, fold and use as a pad. Can rinse cloth as you clean.
- For really heavy dirt, use wet before finishing damp. In some circumstances, such as heavy grease and dirty windows, use hot or warm water.
- For best results, then finish with a Glass & Polishing Cloth or Finishing Cloth.
Lighter-Weight Cloths – For cleaning light grease and dirt from glass and shiny surfaces.
- Spray water onto the surface to be cleaned, fold a dry cloth and wipe.
- Or use dry after a damp General Purpose / Heavy-Duty Cloths.
E-cloth Care & Laundering
For most day-to-day use a warm rinse under the faucet is enough to ready your E-cloth for the next cleaning task.
Washing Instructions: When E-cloths and E-cloth mop heads become so soiled as to require a thorough cleaning, machine wash in hot water (up to 200°), or boil in a saucepan. There are a few exceptions that should be machine-washed at a lower temperature (Dusting Cloths, Drinkware Drying & Polishing Towel, Dry Mop Head and Sponge Cloth). See their individual product listing that follows.
Use minimal detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble or air dry.
In alphabetical order:

Glass & Polishing Cloth – Use dry. Or, for cleaning light dirt and grease from windows, mirrors, chrome and tile – spray water onto the surface, fold into a pad and wipe.
Damp Mop Head
Wet under the faucet and wring out excess water (most effective method is to start at the long end and roll it up jellyroll-style, then wring out ). Place the damp mop head velcro side up on the floor and attach the mop base to the center of the mop head. During use the damp head may be rinsed and refitted onto the mop rig. Mopping in an “S” shape is recommended for best dirt pick-up.
