What is Microfiber Made of? Microfiber is a synthetic fiber that consists of polyester and polyamide. Polyester is basically a kind of plastic, and polyamide is a fancy name for nylon. The fibers have been split into very fine strands that are porous and dry quickly. The polyester provides the structure of a towel, while the polyamide adds density and absorption. Microfiber is a material that is durable, soft, and absorbent, making it perfect for a variety of uses. Because of the way it is made, microfiber is excellent for cleaning, apparel, furniture, and even sports gear. Features: Soft and gentle, fibers are long and thick Works Best For: Cleaning without water, dusting, and safe for all surfaces Cleaning With Microfiber Towels Microfiber can be used for a variety of cleaning tasks. Microfiber towels and cleaning tools can be used wet or dry to clean any surfaces. Here are a few ideas on how to use your microfiber towels: • Dry-Dusting: Microfiber’s static charge makes it perfect for collecting and trapping dust from any surface. Microfiber also won’t leave streaks or track dust around. Take a dry microfiber towel and wipe down surfaces — they’ll be dust-free and sparkling in no time. • Disinfecting: Microfiber is ideal for cleaning areas that need to stay clean and bacteria-free, such as the kitchen and bathroom. With microfiber’s ability to trap bacteria, it can help you eliminate germs and keep your surfaces sanitary. Clean these surfaces frequently with microfiber, and make sure to launder your microfiber towels after each use to avoid cross-contamination. • Scrubbing: The tiny fibers on microfiber towels are perfect for removing dirt and debris from any surface, from floors to countertops. You can wipe up most messes without even wetting your towel. If you’re dealing with a particularly stubborn mess, wet your microfiber slightly for optimal scrubbing power. • Polishing: With microfiber towels, your windows and glass will be sparkling and streak-free. Since microfiber attracts and traps dust and other particles, it won’t leave any streaks of dirt or moisture behind. Use a dry microfiber towel and rub your surface until it’s clean. Absorbing: Microfiber towels are perfect to have around in case of a spill, since they’re highly absorbent and can soak up liquids quickly. Stash some microfiber towels in your kitchen and bathroom, and you’ll be ready if a spill disaster strikes Ideally, you should only wash your microfiber towels with other microfiber materials. Microfiber can collect lint from cotton and other fabrics, which can render the towel ineffective. If you must wash your microfiber with other materials, try to choose materials that are less prone to lint. When washing microfiber, use laundry detergent, but avoid bleach and fabric softeners, which can damage the microfiber. While most chemicals won’t affect microfiber, it’s important to avoid acids HOW TO USE Lightly dusty or dirty microfiber cloths can be hand-washed. Hand-Washed: • Shake out the fabric outdoors or into a trash bag to release excess dirt. • Run a basin of cool or warm water. • Add cloths and agitate by hand. Hand scrub any heavily stained areas. • Soak the cloths for 15 to 20 minutes, then agitate again. • Rinse the towels thoroughly under running water. • Wring out excess water. Microfiber cloths can be machine-washed for convenience or if the fabric is excessively dirty or stained. Do not wash microfiber cleaning cloths with other types of fabric. Other fabrics can ruin the fibers of your microfiber cleaning cloths, abrading the fibers and leaving lint on the microfiber surface. In particular, avoid mixing cotton fabrics with microfiber. Machine-Washed: • Shake the microfiber cloths outdoors or into a trash can to release excess dirt. • Machine wash a load of microfiber cloths in cold or warm water. Do not use hot water. • If using detergent, choose a gentle detergent with no scent or laundry additives. Use a small amount of detergent, no more than one or two teaspoons. • If the microfiber towels have an odor that needs to be eliminated, add a tablespoon of white vinegar to the machine load. • Allow the machine to complete half of the agitation cycle, then stop the cycle and allow the load to soak for 15 to 20 minutes. • Resume the wash cycle and allow it to complete.
