Cleaning with microfibre cloths should become an essential part of cleaning routines around the world. The benefits of cleaning with microfibre as opposed to other forms of cloth are vast, but still, they can be overlooked and underutilised in homes and businesses.
Using a microfibre cloth can make your cleaning regime much easier. They are multi-purpose, long-lasting, and provide amazing results on a wide number of surfaces and materials. This is why we have put together our top five reasons why microfibre cloths should become an essential product in your cleaning arsenal.
Great results for a variety of uses
Perhaps the biggest benefit of cleaning with microfibre cloths is the wide variety of different cleaning needs that you can use them for. Microfibre cloth uses spread from removing bacteria and germs to dusting and polishing, they can even be used on a variety of different materials to provide great results all round.
Materials that you can use microfibre cloths on include, but are not limited to:
- Windows or mirrors
- Electricals, screens, TVs etc
- Kitchen/bathroom surfaces
- Car cleaning
- Instruments, guitars, keyboards etc
In fact, cleaning with microfibre cloths can be beneficial for almost any surface you can think of. It is important to note that if you are cleaning electrical products you will want to use your microfibre cloth dry. This will still achieve optimum results for dust, debris and bacteria removal, but it is important that you keep water away from electronics.
Amazing Cleaning Using Only Water
With that being said, one of the microfibre cloth uses that produces the very best results is when you combine them with water. They are incredibly absorbent and can soak up to seven times their own weight. A wet microfibre cloth is perfect for use on kitchen and bathroom surfaces, showerheads, faucets and much more. Simply use a dry microfibre cloth to soak up any excess water once you are done.
Cleaning with microfibre cloths that are wet means that you do not need to use any harmful chemicals when you are cleaning. You simply only have to use water to achieve the same, if not better, results than chemical-based cleaning. Not only do microfibre cloths clean excellently, but they also polish as they go. This means that wet microfibre cloths are perfect for mirrors and windows. They will clean your reflective surfaces effectively and will polish them up as you go, leaving no smears or residue behind.
Smaller Fibres Mean a Better, More Hygienic Finish
The actual structure of a microfibre cloth has been designed for optimum cleaning results. They are made up of fine synthetic fibres which are split. This design, combined with the fact that they contain up to 200,000 microfibres per square inch, meaning that they are incredibly effective at sweeping up and almost vacuuming in dust, bacteria and debris.
This superior, deeper cleaning gives the user a much more hygienic finish. They have been proven to remove up to 99% of all bacteria on a wide number of surfaces, all thanks to the structure of their fibres. Regular cloth fibres are not split, whereas cleaning with microfibre cloths utilises split fibres in almost an asterisk-shape. As you move the cloth along your surface these fibres act almost like a water wheel. They move and collect the dust in between the fibres, lifting them from the surface to be disposed of once you have finished cleaning.
Long-Lasting & Durable
The way that they are made with the density of the fibres and the actual structure of the microfibre means that the cloths are incredibly durable. They will almost certainly last much longer than regular cloths. It is suggested that regular microfibre cloth uses can lead to them lasting up to 75 to 150 washes. Our range of microfibre cloths that we provide will give you the long last cleaning ability that you desire.
A way to see when you may need to replace your microfibre cloth is by looking at three things:
- Are you still getting great cleaning results?
- Are any of the fibres loose or torn?
- Is it taking longer to dry than usual?
If the answer is yes then it may be time to replace your cloth. However, the answer is more than likely going to be no thanks to the superior durability of cleaning with microfibre cloths.
More Cost-Effective Than Regular Cloths
More durability means a longer-lasting product. A longer-lasting product means no need to spend continuously to replace what you had.
