Microfiber cloths do an excellent job of picking up dust and removing smudges. They will even remove oily finger prints from a surface without spreading it around, without any additional cleaners. They are also environmentally friendly by reducing consumables used such as cleaners and paper towels.

2. History of Microfiber:

   Microfiber was introduced in 1986 and is a variety of polyester that has extremely thin filaments. It is tough, resilient and can be manufactured to extremely fine tolerances, many times thinner than other synthetics. Microfiber has properties of strength, precision and sheerness as well as a phenomenal absorbency that gives rise to so many applications, including an amazing ability to clean and dry surfaces. Micro fiber (specifically polyester), as the sole constituent of cloth, would wear and shed fiber with use, so it is best utilized in combination with another material. It is this combination of materials which gives microfiber its unique characteristics. Most microfiber consists of a combination of Polyamide (Nylon), a synthetic material that is strong, elastic, and resistant to abrasion and chemicals and low in moisture absorbency.

   When combined, these two materials result in a microfiber cloth with the advantages of both synthetics. Too much nylon will result in a cloth that will scratch fine or delicate surfaces, like coated optics or fine wood or paint finishes. Too little nylon and the cloth will not last or clean rough surfaces without rapid deterioration. It is this perfect combination of microfiber and nylon that give these cleaning cloths their special properties.

   Each filament of this sub-miniature fiber, which is much thinner than a human hair, is split into many wedge shaped strands, multiplying the surface area of and the osmosis / wicking power of each filament. With the proper combination of materials and the splitting of the already super fine fibers, these unique microfiber cleaning materials are created. These fibers can be made into several types of cloths for different uses depending on how these fibers are knitted or woven together.

   "Microfiber cloths pickup 97% of germs and bacteria" says Laura Dellutri, author of Speed Cleaning 101. Woman's day Magazine Oct.7 2008 issue. (p150)

3. Caring for your Microfiber Cloths:

   One of the advantages of microfiber cloth is that they can be washed and reused over and over literally hundreds of times.

   So here are a few tips for cleaning:

   • For non-critical cleaning, you can wash cloths with normal wash machine load just avoid washing with anything that might be quite linty. Also, do not use bleach or fabric softeners in the washer or dryer. Air drying is a safe bet ,but they can be safely dried at low heat in a clothes dryer.
   • For more critical cleaning, wash the cloths separately either by hand or in a wash machine in warm water, adding a small amount of detergent. Do not use any bleach or fabric softener and rinse at least one extra time. Air dry or use a clothes dryer on low heat using no fabric softener.

   To sanitize A microfiber cloth may be boiled for 5-10 minutes to eliminate any bacteria that may form in the fibers.
