4 Advice to Choose a microfiber absorbent fabric

What Is Microfiber?

First, let’s look at what microfiber is. Microfiber is defined as any fiber that is 1 denier or less (denier is a measurement of fineness equal to a unit of fiber weighing one gram for each 9000 meters). To put that into perspective, microfiber is approximately 1/100th the diameter of a human hair and 1/20th the diameter of a strand of silk. There are approximately 200,000 fibers in one square inch of a typical microfiber towel. High-quality microfiber used for cleaning is often 0.5 denier or smaller. That creates a lot of surface area in which to absorb liquid or hold dust and dirt.

In cleaning products, microfiber is a blend of polyester and polyamide (nylon). In higher quality cleaning textiles, the fiber is split during the manufacturing process to produce spaces in each fiber. If you were to look at a cross section of split microfiber it would look like an asterisk. It’s the split fiber working in conjunction with the space between them that do the work. They pick up and hold the dust and dirt, and absorb liquid. Lower quality microfiber cleaning products may not be split (neither is microfiber clothing or furniture because you don’t want them to be absorbent).

Are there different types of microfiber cloths? Of course! Microfiber is a tool for cleaning and like any task, cleaning is easier when you’re using the right tools. Whether you’re scrubbing heavy soil areas like bathrooms or kitchens, or dusting delicate keepsakes, there’s a type of microfiber designed for that task.

Arguably the best part about microfiber cloths is how durable they are, and that they’re able to be reused for years on end for just about every job in your house. To best take care of them, you should start with a rinse to get rid of any extra debris, cleaning product, or grease you picked up during use. Then, it's a good idea to keep microfiber separate from other fabrics in the washing machine, as their miraculously magnetic fibers will cling onto any lint that comes off of other fabrics during laundering. Skip the fabric softener (this will diminish absorbency), but add some white vinegar should your cloths need a bit of deodorizing, and tumble dry on low.
