Microfibre is the ultimate cleaning material for all surfaces and is available in cloths and mop formats.

What is Microfibre?

Fibre can be described as microfibre when it weighs less than 1 gram per 10km of length.

For most microfibres, this equates to a diameter of less than 0.12 denier. To give you an idea, this is 100 times thicker than a human hair.

Microfibre is usually made of 70% polyester and 30% polyamide bi-component fibre. It is split into 16 or 17 micro-segments by special physical & chemical treatments.

 

What are the Advantages of Microfibre?

  • Microfibre cloths give quicker results and clean easier and more effectively than conventional cloths.
  • The microfibre cloths leave the surface clean and smear free and remove up to 99.9% of bacteria from surfaces.
  • There is no need to use chemicals, as they clean with just water.
  • The capillary action of the microscopic pores in Microfibre absorbs tremendous amounts of water with lightening speed.
  • They are environmentally friendly.
  • Microfibre is very durable. It outlasts most mops and cloths made from natural fibres.
  • The cloths are extensively washable. They can be laundered up to 400 times at 90ºc.
  • When laundering the cloths only a standard detergent is required.
  • No bleach or fabric softener should be used.
  • Super absorbent. 
  • Leaves glass, stainless steel, grease & smear free. 

How does Microfibre work?

Microfibre has more than 40 times of surface area compared to normal fibre. The split-fibres have so many pin-holes it makes the fibre extremely absorbent.

The capillary action and surface expanding allows for strong cleaning ability.

The wedge shaped fibre, together with polyamide core, helps to attract and trap dust and dirt. It also is excellent for cleaning greasy surfaces without scratching them.

Microfibres fine pores leave very little moisture behind. Any droplets remaining on the surface will evaporate quickly and leave it clean and smear-free.
