One of the biggest advantages of microfiber is its ability to clean with just water—no chemicals needed. This makes it safer for your surfaces, your health, and the environment. However, as a professional cleaner it is important to remember to sanitise and disinfect certain areas where necessary.
A single square inch of microfiber cloth contains around 200,000 fibers, making it one of the most effective cleaning tools available today.
Split microfiber is positively charged, which attracts negatively charged dust and dirt particles like a magnet. This makes it superior to regular cloths or chemical sprays when it comes to dusting.
Can you dust with microfiber?
Absolutely. Microfiber cloths are ideal for dusting. Just use them dry to attract and trap dust, and rinse when you’re done. They can also be used wet to tackle tougher grime.
Does it work when wet?
Yes! When damp, microfiber cloths work wonders on grease, grime, and smudges. Simply rinse and wring out the cloth—some moisture is essential to activate its absorbency and grip.
Will it streak on windows or stainless steel?
No. Thanks to its high absorbency—holding up to 7x its own weight in liquid—microfiber is perfect for cleaning windows and mirrors without leaving streaks or lint behind.
