Best cloth for clean homes
The most popular and highly regarded of these cleaning cloths is Microfibre. They have gained notariaty as they are very effective, can be used for multiple purposes and have environmental benefits.
The reason for this is they are brilliant at capturing and trapping dirt, dust, and other particles. The small fibres in microfibre cloths compared with traditional fibres, allow them to reach into tiny crevices and pick up even the tiniest speck of dirt. This makes them the best option for cleaning various surfaces in the kitchen such as glass, wet counters, floors and stainless steel. They are even popular for using outside the home, on automotive use.
There are a variety of different microfibre cloths depending on your preference and what you’d like to use them for. Quality cloths are available in a range of different material such as suede, pearl knit, terry, fish scale, diamond and waffle weave cloths. This variety is on offer because the differing thickness and density lends itself to all sorts of cleaning tasks. Thicker cloths give better results when absorbing liquids. Thinner ones are used for delicate surfaces or tasks that require attention to detail. They can hold several times their weight in liquid, making them ideal for spills, drying surfaces, or cleaning up messes.
You may also use microfibre towels in your home due to their highly absorbant nature. They particularly suit being used for the bath, beach and for pets.
How to clean microfibre cloths and towels
The best microfibre cloths can usually be put in the washing machine, use a cold water or cool wash on a gentle or delicate cycle. Choose a mild non bio detergent specifically formulated for delicate fabrics. Avoid using those with brightning treatments, bleaching agents or added fabric softeners.
Like your regular laundry, wash dark colours separately. It’s advisible to soak cloths rather than wash at high temperatures and never use bleach. The great thing is they can withstand multiple washes without losing their performance.
Microfibre towels and cloths can go in the dryer but the better way is to line dry them. This maintains their quality and prevents any potential shrinkage. Hang them up or lay them flat in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
