How to Clean a Pixelated Mona Lisa Focus Cloth

Quick answer

Hand-wash or machine-wash your Focus cloth in cool water with mild detergent, then air-dry to keep the microfiber soft and the pixelated Mona Lisa design vibrant.

Step-by-step cleaning instructions

1. Shake off loose debris: Hold the cloth by a corner and give it a few firm shakes outdoors or over a trash can. This removes dust and crumbs before washing. Skipping this step can push grit deeper into the fibers, causing scratches later.
2. Hand-wash or machine-wash in cool water: Fill a sink with cool water and a drop of mild liquid soap, then gently agitate the cloth for 30 seconds. Alternatively, place it in a mesh laundry bag and run a cold, gentle cycle with no fabric softener. Hot water can set stains and damage the microfiber structure; always use cool water.
3. Rinse thoroughly: Rinse under running cool water until no soap suds remain. Soap residue attracts dirt and leaves streaks on glass. One common mistake is under-rinsing — the cloth feels clean but still contains soap.
4. Air-dry flat: Lay the cloth flat on a clean towel or hang it over a drying rack. Avoid the dryer and direct sunlight, which can fade the pixelated Mona Lisa design. If you must use a dryer, select the no-heat or air-only setting.
5. Store folded in a clean pocket or case: Once dry, fold the cloth and keep it in a glasses case or a clean compartment of your bag. This prevents dust from settling on it before the next use. Storing a damp cloth can lead to mildew; make sure it's completely dry first.
