"Clean Faster And More Efficiently Using Microfiber Products, For Microfiber Does It Better!"

Cleaning with microfiber cloths and towels will help you clean faster, smarter, cheaper and healthier, for microfiber does it better!

Whether you are cleaning with an 80/20 or 70/30 polyester/polyamide blend cloth, you will be able to do it better and faster.

For the fabric picks up the dirt and pulls it into the ""wedged"" spaces within the cloth, instead of pushing it ahead of itself, unlike cotton cloths. (Have you ever dusted with a cotton cloth, and found dirt and dust still on your furniture when finished, that is because cotton doesn't have the same dirt collecting ability.)

Microfiber actually grabs hold of the dirt, pulling it inside of the fibers of the cloth, and holding it in the cloth until you remove it by rinsing and or washing the cloth. In creating this type of cloth, the fiber has been split, increasing the surface area of the cloth, compared to a non-split fiber cloth.

It is like having a brush with a few bristles compared to a brush having lots of bristles, the more bristles increases its cleaning ability. A split microfiber cloth can have 200,000 fibers per square inch of cloth, that is allot of scraping surface action.

Microfiber, with just water, will disinfect surfaces, thereby eliminating the need for chemical cleaners. It has been found through a sustainability study at Royal Roads University in Canada, that this fabric, with only water did as good or better job of removing bacteria from hard surfaces, compared to using a cotton cloth with Lysol or bleach.

It will remove 99.94% of all bacteria off of a hard surface; holding the contaminants inside the cloth, not redepositing it back on the surface. Royal Roads University continues to use these types of products to clean with. (Royal Roads University: Progress towards Sustainability 2004-05 Fiscal Year Report).

So you are still saying how does this help me clean faster and more efficiently!

1. You don't need furniture polish while dusting your furniture, knickknacks, shelves etc, and you won't need to rewipe. Just take a dry or slightly damp cloth, I prefer slightly damp, and dust away! The fiber will pick that dust/dirt up, collecting it inside the cloth leaving your articles dust free. When it begins to become dirty, just rinse it in warm/hot water and keep on cleaning.

2. This type of cloth will help save you time, for you won't have wipe and rewipe, the same surface repeatedly; but since it barely leaves a film of water behind, it won't ruin any of your wood surfaces. All you need to do is wet it, wring it, wipe it and walk away.

3. Microfiber helps to remove allot of allergen particles from your environment and you aren't adding any extra chemical irritants while cleaning. This not only helps to protect and save our environment but also maintains a healthier you and a healthier family, saving on drugs and medical costs.

4. You can clean your bathroom with a damp cloth. Just wipe your sink, shower etc. with a damp cloth, rinsing it frequently in hot water, to remove the dirt and bacteria collecting in the cloth.

5. It will remove soap scum off your shower door.

6. To have beautiful, sparkling mirrors, windows or glass covered pictures in your bathroom, wipe them with a damp cloth, then either allow them to air dry or dry them with a second cloth.

7. Wipe your toilet off with a damp towel, and when you finished, you can even wipe up the floor using the same towel. (Some people like to use different colored cloths for different areas of the house, so they don't cross contaminate from the bathroom to the kitchen etc.)

8. Use a microfiber dish cloth to make quick work of cleaning up your kitchen, from wiping off stove, refrigerator, counters and sink. It is great for cleaning those hard to clean stainless steel appliances. Just wipe and walk away. Waffle weave dish towels are wonderful for drying all your dishes too.

9. I love using a microfiber dust mop to ""sweep"" my floors. They will pick up the finest particles of dirt, keeping your floors cleaner longer, and you may not have to wet mop your floors as often.

10. These dust mops will save you money, in the long run, over continually buying the paper duster sheets for Pledge or Swifter duster mops, for the pads are reusable and machine washable.

11. You can save time when giving your pets a bath: by using a microfiber bath towel. Their super absorbency will make quick work of drying off your pet, after a bath or after swimming. My friend found she need fewer towels to dry her pets off for one towel did the work of 2 cotton towels.

12. Use a damp cloth to remove pet dander and loose hair between baths. (This will also help to reduce pet allergens in your environment).
