All cleaning supplies in UK shouldn’t be complete with the use of microfibre cloth. The material is comprised of synthetic polyster and nylon. It has been available commercially since after the World War II. But only lately has it been massively utilised as cleaning cloths. Before the advent of microfibre and paper, there was only cloth. Although there are not much research that delves into the effectiveness of these rags when paired with carpet cleaning products, for example. Not to mention the safeness of these chemicals to the user.
How the material is made
The polyester and nylon fibres are spun and separated into strings that are a hundred times thinner than the average person’s hair. When these micro-strands are interlaced and piled on each other, they create a super absorbent and soft cloth. But that’s not what makes these types of material special: they are positively charged which enables them to pick up the smallest particles that possess a negative charge. You can’t see it but each fibre is composed of a series of hooks that capture these particles as you swipe the cloth on the surface. You can use window or carpet cleaning products for those stubborn stains. For everything else, the microfibre cloth will do the job just fine.
The promise of simplicity
Microfibre offers one promise: it can remove dust, grime and 99% of bacteria on any surfaces even if you use just water. It’s a perfect addition to window cleaning supplies. It is highly absorbent and can even be as effective even when you use it dry. It also is quick drying which means you can wash it as often as you like for hygiene purposes.
Advantage of using the material
Cleaning companies that need to clean large surfaces, such as building windows, will benefit if they include this cloth into their cleaning supplies in UK. Again, they don’t require so much chemicals for ordinary tasks which means you are doing your part for the environment, too. The only kryptonite of microfibres is the fabric softener. For obvious reasons, using a cloth conditioner will render the abrasive properties of the cloth useless. These cloths are also reusable which you can’t say for paper towels which can tear immediately when touched by water. Although they are more costly than your average cloth, you can save in the long run by foregoing the use of chemicals as much as possible and by using and re-using the cloth as many as 2,000 times, which is the amount of time it needs before it shows any wear and tear.
