Keep your cotton towels far away from your car or truck.
The
threads used in microfiber cloths are composed of polyster composites invented
in the late 1980s and pefected in the 1990s. Described
to be hundred times thinner than a single strand of human hair and ten times
finer than silk; microfibers are extremely fine compared to that of a cotton
strand.Polyester
is a lyophillic polymer or has affinity to oil that allows oil to cling directly
to the fibers fast.On
the other hand, water also easily adheres to microfiber since it is
hydrophilic.Dust
and dirt are naturally attracted to microfiber. A high quality microfiber towel
absorbs seven times its weight in liquid.Dirt
particles cling, and are attracted to the finely wedged shaped fibers of
microfiber, where as a cotton towel only pushes dirt and dust from one place or
another.Such
great characteristics allow microfiber towels to quickly remove dirt and leave
surfaces completely clean.The
polyester
strands of microfiber
make
it substantially
more resilient
than cotton.Its
resistance to stretching
and shrinking
guarantees
shape preservation.The
elasticity
of microfiber
makes
it immune
to wrinkles,
mildew,
and cuts
and tears.Moreover,
it is resilient
to most harsh
chemicals,
maintains
heat-set pleats and creases,
and is easily
washed
even with only
clean
water or light
soapy water.The
actual
water
intake
of microfiber
is about
98%.
For cotton,
absorption is just
seventy
percent.Making
use of
micro-fiber
towels guarantees
cleaning efficiency.
It also
has
environmental
benefits
since
it is
safer
for human and family
pet
skin.For
one, it breaks
down
and soaks
up
dirt
areas,
second,
it
is
recycleable
many
times
prior
to
washing,
third,
it
is
convenient and
easy
to clean with.Technically,
microfiber
will
help
cut
down
up to ninety
percent
of
your
consumption
of
cleaning products
in
your home,
primarily
in
the kitchen
and toilets.Microfiber
decreases
your exposure
to
toxic
fumes
generated
by excessive
chemical usage
because
cleaning with microfiber
requires
no harsh
chemicals.Microfibers
can
certainly
eliminate
your use
of
dangerous cleaning
chemicals thus
reducing
if not freeing
yourself of allergic
reactions
and chemical sensitivities.In
most
parts
of
your
house,
micro-fiber
eliminates
99% of
your
microbes
from surfaces, edges
and corners resulting
in a cleaner
and yes, more
healthy
environment.
