Cleaning with Microfiber Towels

More often in recent years, you will have found that cleaning instructions for products suggest using a microfiber towel. Why would this distinction in cleaning cloth make a difference? What is it about microfiber towels that would be preferable over cotton ones? The reality is that better tools create better efficiency, which is what microfiber has proven itself to be in cleaning. 

Microfiber towels, made from a blend of polyester and polyamide fibers, are uniquely structured to trap dirt, dust, and grime, and they do the job with less effort. Because they are more efficient in this way, the need for chemical cleaners is greatly reduced. Natural fiber cloths more often push debris around, possibly scratching the surface you are attempting to clean and polish. 

Microfiber towels are much more absorbent than their cleaning cloth counterparts, holding water like a sponge. This makes it so less cleaning cloths or towels are required to get the job done. Additionally, microfiber material works well when dry or wet. Natural and organic materials are known to trap and hold odor causing bacteria, as opposed to microfiber’s quick drying properties, which prevents bacterial growth and odors.

Another benefit to using microfiber towels is their durability. They can withstand multiple washes while maintaining their effectiveness. This makes them a cost effective cleaning tool, as well as eco-friendly. It can be tempting to use paper towels when cleaning a germ-ridden area because of their disposability. However, paper towels are not as absorbent and they break down quickly, requiring much more of them to do the job. Paper towels leave lint and fibers behind (not fun on glass and mirrors), and even with disinfectant, they simply don’t clean surfaces as well. You are more likely to leave germs behind with paper towels than with a microfiber cloth. Similarly, even old rags do more smearing around than actually picking up germs and bacteria, which is what a microfiber towel is built to do. 

Effective, efficient, and eco-friendly, microfiber towels are the clear choice for professional cleaners, like Bright at Home Cleaning. The versatility for use on any surface and quality in cleaning are unmatched.
