Microfiber cloths have become increasingly popular in recent years. For one simple reason: they clean well. Likewise, the field of application of a microfiber cloth is very broad. Whether in the office, in industry, in the catering trade or in the household, microfiber cloths can be used almost everywhere for cleaning. Their enormous cleaning power makes them a must-have in any cleaning equipment. The range in our online store includes a variety of microfiber cloths for every use.
How does a microfiber cloth work?
Microfiber cloths are made of fine synthetic fibers of polyester and polyamide. The individual fibers are three times thinner than the fibers of cotton. The fibers are additionally roughened during production. The large number of roughened fibers increases the surface area of the cloth. During the wiping motion, the fibers of the cloth become charged and dirt particles stick to them.
How do I use a microfiber cloth correctly?
Before first use, the cloth should be briefly rinsed in warm water. When cleaning itself, no detergent should be used. The fibers themselves become statically charged with friction. Dirt particles will therefore stick to the cloth. A cleaning agent can worsen this effect. With a microfiber cloth, even grease can be dissolved without a cleaning agent.
Caution: Not all surfaces should be cleaned with a microfiber cloth. Especially with materials such as soft plastic surfaces, mirrors or surfaces that are coated with clear varnish, scratches can occur. Oiled wooden surfaces should also not be cleaned with microfiber cloths. This is because the microfiber cloths extract the oil from the wood. A normal cleaning cloth should be used here.
How do I care for a microfiber cloth?
In order to maintain a long life of the cloths, some things must be observed. Firstly, high quality microfiber cloths should be purchased. Premium items are more expensive, but last significantly longer compared to a cheap alternative. Likewise, the cleaning cloths should be washed regularly. For this purpose, they should be placed separately in a laundry bag. This reduces friction with other pieces of laundry and keeps the fibers intact longer. Also, the temperature should be between 40 and 60 degrees. High temperatures can reduce the life of the cloths.
Caution: Microfiber cloths should always be washed without fabric softener. The re-fatting parts of the fabric softener settle between the fibers and reduce the effectiveness when cleaning.
What are the differences between microfiber cloths?
There are different qualities of universal microfiber cloths. The cloths are usually divided into Light, Standard and Premium / Strong. Inexpensive microfiber cloths are usually also lighter than the more expensive variants. Heavy premium cleaning cloths usually also have the best water absorption capacity and are more durable than the light alternatives. These are worthwhile for professional use but can also be used in the home without any problems. Premium cloths have various advantages, but these must always be weighed against the higher price.
