Microfiber – The Safer and Better Way to Clean (for you and the environment)

Microfiber is made up of millions of microscopic starburst shaped fibers that trap and hold dirt, dust and grime. Microfiber is a safer and economical way to clean because it’s washable. That means that you create less waste and you don’t have to use chemicals that can be harmful to your family and animal companions. You can use it dry or simply moisten with water for even more powerful cleaning. If you feel that you need to really disinfect an area you can use a diluted solution of white vinegar to moisten your microfiber cloth.

Caring for Microfiber

Machine or hand wash separately in warm water with mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Hang or tumble dry low.

There are many types of naps that serve different purposes. The information below will be helpful in clarifying why a different makes a difference.

Suede Nap
This nap holds the least amount of dirt and therefore isn’t susceptible to scratching delicate monitors, PDA and Plasma screen surfaces. It removes film from surfaces without leaving lint behind.

Flat Nap
Generally, the flatter the nap loop the better it is for polishing or shining. This is why we use the flattest naps for glass and screens. Although the flat nap cleans very well, the capacity to hold dirt/dust is less than a thick-looped nap microfiber cloth. The flat nap does not leave lint behind which is important when cleaning glass and mirrors.

Flat-Looped Nap
This nap works well on stainless steel since it has a bit of a “scrubbing nap” that removes fingerprints and splatters yet it is flat enough to polish the surface. This cloth is also good for cleaning/polishing chrome.

Honey Comb Nap
Very absorbent but is thin enough to not be too bulky for drying glassware. The relatively flat nap will not leave lint behind but the special nap makes this cloth absorbent and fast drying.

Thick-Looped Nap
A good all purpose cloth for cleaning counters and appliances. It is absorbent and the nap is thick for heavy duty cleaning since it has a lot of “surface” fibers. This cloth can be used on extremely dirty windows before the final buffing and polishing with the glass cloth.

Extra Thick Nap
The best nap for dusting due to the high density of the fibers. It can be moistened slightly to make it even more effective. This cloth holds the most dirt/dust.
