 What
is Microfiber?
Imagine a microscopic plastic wire that cuts through and
breaks apart dust, dirt, grime and moisture, and then picks
it up like a magnet without scratching the surface. This
is what microfiber does when cleaning. Our microfiber is
a revolutionary thread, comprised of wedge-shaped polyester
filaments and a core of nylon. Made of both oil-attracting
and water-attracting polymers, the fibers are woven into
masses of tiny "hooks
& loops." The sharp edges of these millions of "hooks
& loops" cut through dried-in stains, attracting
and absorbing dirt and microparticles. The fibers are
actually positively charged which increases the attraction
of dirt because it carries a negative charge. Each strand
is hundreds of times smaller than a human hair
and ten times finer than silk.
Microfiber cleaning products are
a breakthrough in textile technology and have been widely
used throughout Europe for years. They are used by large
institutions such as hospitals, hotels, and professional
cleaning companies, as well as by small businesses and
households. Microfiber is the
environmentally-friendly choice for cleaning worldwide.
Our cloths, mop pads and other tools are so specialized, only a handful of
factories worldwide have the capability and capacity to
manufacture them efficiently.
So how does it work? Is microfiber presoaked
in some kind of chemical?
No, it is not treated with any chemicals.
The fiber's wedge shaped filaments follow surfaces, lift
up dirt, trap particles inside the fiber, and eliminate
the need for harmful cleansers. The capillary effect between
the filaments and nylon core creates a high absorbency,
which in turn enables it to clean and polish at
the same time. Only water is needed as a detergent to clean
any type of surface.
Cleaning with microfiber is fast, easy and environmentally
friendly. With microfiber products you
rarely need to use chemicals. It is sometimes described as
having a magnetic attraction to dirt and dust. Our products
are extremely soft, and they never scratch any surface, but
at the same time they are sturdy and tough on dirt. The secret
behind the technology is the blend of microscopic
polyester and polyamide fibers which are split in such a
way as to create microscopic
"hooks" which act as claws that scrape up and hold
dust, dirt, and grime. They can also
absorb up to 7 times their weight in water. This absorbent
property is the reason why it will never leave streaks
or water spots on any surface even when used wet. The gentle
scrubbing properties of the ultra-fine fibers allow
you to buff out old water spots safely, even on plastic
windshields and tinted window film.
No other cleaning material can compare to microfiber!
Not only is this state-of-the-art product 100% hypo-allergenic,
it is environmentally sound. A study released by the Environmental
Protection Agency, concluded that
quality microfibers, like those used in our mops and
cloths are less work
intensive, more cost effective, environmentally safe, reduce
chemical use and disposal, and clean far more effectively
than conventional cleaners. It is safe to use on
all automobile surfaces, computer screens, television screens,
delicate camera lenses, glass top stoves, vinyl, silver
plate, tile, brass chrome and much more. The best part
about microfiber is that it is totally reusable. Machine wash our
products hundreds of times without compromising
their ability to clean.
