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.
