Think about it this way. Let’s say we want to paint a table top. But first, we spread a thin layer of beach sand on the table. Next, we apply a coat of primer.

Second, if too much water is applied to raw wood (wood that has not been stained or painted), it can raise the grain. In other words, the wood is no longer smooth after the finish is applied. This means it would need to be sanded again to smooth the surface. Avoid cleaning microfiber with fabric softener, bleach, or harsh or heavily scented detergents. Swiffer Sheet What’s going to happen if we rub our hands across the table top? The primer is attached to the top of the sand particles, but the sand is just resting on the surface of the table top. So those loose particles of sand are going to easily brush away when we rub our hands across the table top.Sometimes the fuzzy fibers of the sheet can get trapped on the surface. I’ve found this to happen most with raw projects (without a finish). That said, I do like to use a Swiffer Duster to remove dust from baseboards and trim before repainting.

Hand washing is a simple way to clean microfiber cloths. First, remove the loose dirt from the towel by shaking it outside or into a garbage can. Next, place the towel in a container of warm water and soak for 15 to 20 minutes. Then remove it, rinse under running water and allow it to air dry.
