Microfiber Towels are a revolutionary, environmentally friendly, and extremely effective way to clean.
Microfiber is defined as any fiber that is 1 denier or less (denier is a measurment of fineness equal to a unit of fiber weighing one gram for each 9000 meters). To put that into perspective, microfiber is 1/100th the diameter of a human hair and 1/20th the diameter of a strand of silk. There are approximately 200,000 fibers in one square inch of a microfiber towel. High quality microfiber cleaning cloths feature split microfiber, after the splitting process each microfiber in a microfiber towel looks like an asterisk if you�re looking at a cross section of the fiber. The open spaces in the microfiber created by the splitting process allow the microfiber cleaning cloth to pick up and hold dirt as will as absorbing liquid.
Microfiber towels are a true green cleaning tool. When used damp, microfiber towels are great for removing smudged dirt, grease or stains. You can accomplish all of this with a microfiber towel without adding any chemical cleaners. You can also use microfiber cleaning cloths dry as a duster instead of using a cleaning cloth treated with chemicals. Using microfiber towels around the house or office can cut down on the use of paper towels, microfiber towels are able to hold 7 times their weight in liquid making microfiber towels much more absorbant than paper towels. Also, unlike paper towels microffiber cleaning towels are machine washable and can last hundreds of washings when cared for properly.
The absorbancy of microfiber towels make them great for cleaning windows, even when just using the microfiber towels with water. When using the microfiber towels wet, the squeegee like edges of each microfiber in a microfiber cleaning cloth scrape up the dirt while the open spaces keep the dirt in the microfiber towel. Microfiber towels are great for dusting since the microfibers in each towel are postitvely charged which attracts negativly charged dust like a magnet and holds it in the microfiber cleaning cloth until you rinse it out.
