Default Microfibre mop

Missus wants to know whether them flat microfibre mop heads can be
washed and reused, or do they *have* to be replaced? Anyone any idea?
I know she could try washing it, but if someone knows the answer already
I'd be grateful to know!

Microfibre can be washed, but fabric conditioner or bleach will ruin them.

Depends on what it said. If it said don't wash it I would think of Mandy Rice-Davies's famous response.

I can see why fabric conditioner would spoil them, but whats
the problem with bleach?

Dunno, but I went to a product launch years ago when Spontex launched
theirs & thats what they said.

Tesco do really good 'Value' ones in a pack of 3 (or 5?) for about £1.
Great for mopping up plumbing spills.
