Are we exposed to microplastics while using and washing microfiber cleaning set?Updated 8 months ago

The flat weave cloths will not shed because of how they are woven. But the dusting cloth is a cut loop pile, and that one may shed. It is difficult to conduct testing for shedding because there are microplastics, nano plastics, and there are currently no standards around it. We recommend putting the cloths inside a wash bag to catch anything that might shed. Washing in cool water and hanging dry also reduces any shed and prolongs the life of the cloths.
