You can wash polyester microplush material in the machine or by hand. Some items made from polyester microplush material include blankets, cleaning clothes and robes. The material is made up of small, split fibers, according to microfibertech.com. When used for cleaning, the fibers catch and hold in dust and dirt. Wash the material with cotton or polyester, if needed. It requires no extra washing care than other fabrics.
