Since microfiber was introduced in early 90's there has been a growing trend to use the fiber to clean almost everything. You owe it to yourself next time you are thinking about cleaning to try a microfiber product. And the reason is.....

Plain and simple - THEY WORK* AND THEY ARE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY! MicroFiber works - Cleans almost every surface using no chemicals only water Being an obsessive and compulsive cleaner for more than 30 years I have always tried to find a better and smarter way of accomplishing a cleaning task. Cleaning with microfiber is simple. Just grab one, dust or clean any surface, no mixing or spraying of chemicals (use only water). It's fast, effective, economical and safe. If you haven't tried microfiber cleaning yet you owe it to yourself to get at least 10 cloths as soon as possible!

Happy Microfiber Cleaning!

P.S. This picture gives you an idea about how the work and achieve such an awesome result!

How does it work?

During the last 30 years, microfibers have found broad utilizations in various fields: industry, textile and even medicine. Many parameters enter in the composition of the fiber itself and also in the weaving of the different fabrics. We can make a distinction according to the final use of the fibers: whether it is for garments, industrial textile or cleaning applications for instance. The properties that are sought can be somehow opposite: while looking for a water repellent fabric to make a coat, one can look for a highly absorbent textile to make a mop. The many possibilities of microfibers allow both of these!

When designing the fibers, different factors come into play and will influence the structure of the fiber. For instance, in apparel textile, if one needs a fiber with similar light reflecting qualities as silk for a shiny looking fabric, the microfiber cross section will have to adapt, a square or ribbon shaped fibers cross section allowing to reflect much more light than a classical round one.

Fibers design offers even more possibilities in industrial or cleaning applications. Capillarity properties can be considerably enhanced following specific cross section designs, thus allowing specific filtration properties. Most cleaning microfibers have a so-called pie wedge a cross section made of polyester and nylon (polyamide). Splitting those fibbers separates the nylon star-shaped core from the polyester wedges and divides the fiber into 9 different (in size, shape and composition) strands. As a result the fibers capacities, such as water absorption or dust attraction are greatly increased.

Weaving has also a direct impact on the properties that are sought. A tightly woven fabric will be very efficient to repel water and protect from the wind, making it useful for apparel. Some microfibers mops on the other hand try to expose the most fibers so as they can penetrate any corner and cover the whole surface to catch the dust.
