What is Microfiber Cloth & How to Use It

Can you use it to dust?

You can use these cleaning wonders in many areas of your home and office.

Split microfiber is positively-charged which attracts the negatively-charged dust particles like a magnet. This makes it more effective (and safer) than a regular cloth and chemical spray for dusting.

Even better, you can just rinse it when you are done to release all the dust and then you can use it wet, making them the best cleaning cloths for everyday use.

"Using these Microfiber cloth makes cleaning actually fun. I hate cleaning and never thought I would say this, but it's true." - Anke, San Diego, United States

Will it work when it&#;s wet?

When your towel is wet, it works great on smudged dirt, grease and stains. The towel works best when you rinse it and then wring it out as it needs some absorbency to pick up grime.

Cleaning Tip: Use microfiber and water to clean almost anything. It'll even be able to remove a variety of germs and bacteria. Learn More

Will it leave streaks on windows?

Because microfiber is so absorbent, it is perfect on windows and surfaces that tend to streak.

Since these towels can hold up to 7x their own weight in liquid, there is nothing left to streak the surface. This also makes it better than paper towels when cleaning up spills.

We&#;ve even made products just for this task, such as our microfiber window cleaning cloths and lens wipes. These are special lint free cloths for smooth surfaces. Go here for some great tips on how to use microfiber to clean glass.

"These are high quality excellent microfiber that lasts. I have paid more I have paid less and this is the best quality and bang for your buck by far. The cheaper ones only make it through a wash or two and don't absorb the way these do." - Crystal, Verified Customer

Why You Should Use Microfiber Towels

Microfiber towels can hold water like a sponge. That has made them extremely popular, replacing cotton cloths as the &#;go-to&#; wipe for house and car care cleaning and polishing.

Positively charged, they also effectively hold dirt like a magnet away from the surface and won&#;t scratch the finish as you clean or polish. They&#;re better for cleaning than natural organic fibers like cotton, which push dirt and debris around and scratch the finish. Organic materials can also hold and trap odor-causing bacteria.

Cleaning with just water and a microfiber towel can kill up to 99 percent of bacteria. Non-abrasive microfiber towels work well for dry dusting and washing surfaces without toxic chemicals like bleach or ammonia.

Are All Microfiber Towels The Same?

No. Microfiber towels can be made from 100 percent polyester, or an 80/20, 75/25 or 70/30 polyester/reinforced polyamide blend. (Polyamide is a fancy name for nylon.) To be considered a legitimate microfiber, the fibers need to be finer than 10 micrometers (0.01 mm). A human hair is approximately 0.08 mm.

Pro tips:

1. When shopping for microfiber towels, look for ones that are edgeless, or have rolled or silk edges that are microfiber stitched. Towel edges are usually overlooked but can leave scratches behind.

2. To eliminate cross-contamination from previous uses, set up a color coding system for specific purposes &#; white for glass, blue for applying and removing waxes, green for plastic trim, etc.

Pros And Cons Of Microfiber Towels

Microfiber towels are flexible and versatile. Here are some of their advantages and disadvantages compared to cotton:

Pros:

Lint free;
Extremely absorbent;
Dry quickly, even in colder temperatures;
Work wet or dry;
Work on practically any surface;
Nearly every cleaning job can be done with water and no harsh chemicals;
Produces little friction, virtually eliminating the possibility of scratching surfaces;
Machine washable;
Soft, strong and durable.

Cons:

Shouldn&#;t be machine dried. Dryer heat melts or breaks down microfibers.
Microfibers are synthetic and petroleum-based. Shedding microfibers lead to increased amounts of microplastics entering our lungs and waterways.

What Are The Main Differences Of Microfiber Towels?

Depending on their use (cleaning/scrubbing, washing, applying cleaners or waxes, or polishing), microfiber towels come in different colors, sizes, weights and structures. Some microfiber towels contain up to 200,000 fibers per square inch.

Blends

Polyester fibers are great for cleaning and scrubbing but are less absorbent than the more expensive 70/30 polyester/polyamide blend. Polyamide fibers make microfiber towels softer and more absorbent.

Popular types of microfiber towels

The length, shape and direction of the fibers positioned on a microfiber towel depends on the type of weaving machine that makes it.

Unique fiber structures, characteristics and textures offer several distinctive cleaning properties, making them better for various detailing tasks. A microfiber towel&#;s &#;pile,&#; or the orientation of the fibers on its surface, determine what task it&#;s best for.

How To Care For Microfiber Towels

Start by washing your new microfiber towels before using them. Launder them by themselves, in cold water, with one teaspoon of gentle &#;free&#; unscented detergent on a normal spin cycle. Do not use any laundry additives, bleach, fabric conditioner or softener. It&#;s best to air dry microfiber towels outdoors.

If you need to run microfiber towels through a dryer, thoroughly clean the lint filter, set the dryer to the lowest temperature, and don&#;t add dryer sheets or dryer balls. You can reuse microfiber cloths a few times between laundering. Just rinse well under warm running water and hang dry. Properly laundered and cared for, a microfiber towel can last for years.
