Hi all!

I love the small dish cloths that we had as the guest special, you know, the green and purple ones? Anyone else having problems with the purple ones?

The more I wash them, the less and less "square" they become. Sounds silly, but they are so out of whack that I have a hard time folding them! :eek: The green ones are fine...only some of the purple ones are doing it.

Can anyone tell me WHEN exactly we sold them? Has it been +one year yet...or will this spring be the one year time frame?

Anyone else having the same problem?
 
I think it was April.

It was DEFINITELY in the last year.

Hmm...mine have been fine. I love them and use them all the time! Maybe you just got a bad lot?
 
It was this past April.
 
Mine are doing the same thing Kelly. As are some of my towels. Also, with the dishcloths, some are coming unraveled at the edges. I use them at ALL my shows so mine do get a fair amount of use. Let me know what you find out.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my purple microfiber dish cloths becoming misshapen after washing?

Microfiber dish cloths can become misshapen after washing due to improper washing and drying methods. High heat can cause the fibers to shrink or warp, leading to a distorted shape. It's best to wash them in cold water and air dry or tumble dry on low heat to maintain their shape.

Can I use fabric softener on my purple microfiber dish cloths?

No, using fabric softener on microfiber cloths can coat the fibers and reduce their effectiveness. It can also contribute to misshaping as the softener can weigh down the material. Instead, wash them with a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners.

How should I store my purple microfiber dish cloths to prevent misshaping?

To prevent misshaping, store your microfiber dish cloths flat or rolled up rather than folded in a way that puts pressure on certain areas. This helps maintain their shape and ensures they are ready for use when needed.

Is it normal for purple microfiber dish cloths to lose their shape over time?

While some wear and tear is normal with any cleaning cloth, excessive misshaping can indicate improper care. Following the recommended washing and drying instructions can help prolong their lifespan and maintain their shape.

What can I do if my purple microfiber dish cloths are already misshapen?

If your microfiber dish cloths are misshapen, try washing them again in cold water and air drying them flat. You can also gently reshape them while they are damp. Avoid high heat in the drying process to prevent further distortion.
