Microfibre Cloth FAQs
What kind of surfaces can I clean with microfibre cloths?
Microfibre cloths work wonders on a wide range of surfaces, including glass, mirrors, stainless steel, countertops, tile, and ceramics, as well as larger items around the home or office like cars, furniture, and appliances. Their non-abrasive surface also makes them a good option for delicate items like eyeglasses, screens, and other electronics.
Their versatility and durability make them popular not only with hotels, restaurants, and other industries that require regular cleaning but also with a large and increasing number of households.
Avoid using microfibre cloths on rough, scratchy, porous, or very hot surfaces.
Why are microfibre cloths good for cleaning?
The key to microfibre cloths’ exceptional cleaning power lies in their split fibre structure. Compared to natural cloths with large fibres, synthetic microfibre cloths offer significantly more surface area for dust, dirt, particles, and moisture to get trapped in, resulting in more ‘cleaning power per wipe’. When used dry, the electrostatic charge between the fibres also helps pick up dust and other microscopic particles without having to resort to chemical cleaners.
Even the lowest-density microfibre cloths can hold more than their weight in moisture, making them an excellent go-to for cleaning spills and mopping up messes around the kitchen.
How to keep microfibre cloths in good condition
When used and cleaned correctly, microfibre cloths keep their cleaning power for much longer than you might expect. To keep yours fresh and ready to serve:
- Hand or machine wash your microfibre cloths separately using a gentle detergent and cool or warm (up to 60°C) water. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners that will reduce the cloth’s absorbency. Air dry or dry at a low heat setting to avoid warping or shrinking.
- Store microfibre cloths in a dry space away from dust to maximise their cleaning power. Store them flat or neatly folded.
- Avoid using microfibre cloths on hot surfaces that can melt the fibres and rough or textured surfaces that can snag fibres and shorten their lifespan. When used to clean oil or grease, make sure to use appropriate cleaning agents to avoid gunking up the fibres and making them difficult to clean.
How long do microfibre cloths last?
With proper care, high-quality Paragon Microfibre Cloths can last anywhere from 300 to 500 machine wash cycles, making them a cost-effective cleaning solution for the home, office, and vehicle.
Can microfibre cloths clean without chemicals?
Yes, microfibre cloths can effectively clean dust or dirt from many types of surfaces either dry or only using water.

Understanding GSM
Our guide on understanding Grams per Square Metre (GSM)
What does GSM stand for?
GSM stands for Grams per Square Metre, and it’s the most common unit of measurement indicating the thickness or density of products such as fabrics, packaging materials, and paper.
When it comes to microfibre, a higher GSM means thicker, plushier, and generally more absorbent cloths, while lower-GSM cloths are thinner, lighter, and quicker to dry.
Understanding GSM ratings in microfibre cloths
- Less than 200: Ultra-low GSM
- 200-300: Low GSM
- 300-400: Average / Medium GSM
- 400-600: High GSM
- More than 600: Ultra-high GSM
How do I choose the right GSM microfibre cloth for each job?
When choosing which GSM microfibre cloths to purchase, it’s important to consider the tasks at hand.
For delicate cleaning tasks, such as glass, mirrors, or electronic screens, lower-GSM cloths (200 to 300 GSM) work well. These tasks don’t require you to absorb a lot of moisture, a task best left to higher-GSM cloths, and lightweight microfibre cloths are easy to rinse and wring out for quick cleaning. They’re available in smaller sizes and multipacks, so consider keeping one or two low-GSM microfibre cloths in the car—one for your sunglasses and another for the windows.
For general-purpose cleaning, including kitchens, counters, appliances, and vehicles, medium-GSM microfibre cloths (300 to 400 GSM) offer a good balance of absorbency, durability, and cleaning power.
For tasks that require heavy-duty drying, such as drying cars or soaking up spills, it is hard to match the absorbency of high-GSM microfibre cloths (400 to 600 GSM). Thicker, plushier cloths hold on to liquid and dirt more effectively, making them ideal for your more demanding drying tasks.
