Cloth microfiber technology is a subset of innovative materials that have changed the landscape of industrial cleaning systems and surface protection functions worldwide. At the heart of this technology is neither a specific use nor a specific innovation but the high technology and science involved in the manufacturing process. The microfiber is made of a specific blend of polyester and polyamide and is then subjected to a process that entails the splitting of every synthetic thread into dozens of ultra-fine threads. This process increases the fiber's surface are significantly, creating what is essentially a dense thicket of microscopic channels. It is these channels that enable the microfiber to efficiently lift, capture, and retain even the smallest of solid, liquid, and oily contaminants, and often without using any cleaning chemicals, and because of the capillary action the more the microfiber is pressed against the surface to be cleaned, the more contaminants are captured. A microfiber's cleaning action can be fine-tuned via manufacturing of the denier (or fineness) of the fiber, the polymer blend ratio, selected weaving or knitting patterns, and the edge finishing.
The microfibers are manufactured from synthetic filament and used in a wide range of industries, including the automotive industry, where a high GSM, plush microfibre designed for safe and scratchless drying without water spotting. Water is used and stored in the pile of the cloth. Use of low GSM microfibre with a tight weave is best for wax or polish application, use of controlled friction for application of microfibre is critical for polish. Professional colour coding for microfibre cloth is asssociated with particular elements of the job in the industry for high quality service to the customer. Beyond the automotive industry, in the use of microfibre cloth in commercial and industrial cleaning, specifically, cleaning functions are achieved with reduced water volume and fewer chemicals. This is aligned with the environmentally sustainable and eco friendly operational goals of a commercial enterprise. Large cloth microfibre mop heads and wipe heads designed for industrial washing. This prolongs the waste disposal problems with used cleaning cloths, reduces costs and provides savings over time.
One example of advanced ingenuity showing the accuracy of microfiber cloth is in clean space and electronic assembly. The cloths are produced to be true lint-free and anti-static, and are sealed in sterile packaging. Their purpose is to clean and maintain ultra-sensitive optical and medical devices, and circuit board assemblies, cleaning without the risk of contaminating the assembly with airborne particulate. Additionally, the home care microfiber cloths are designed with usability features such as softness for dusting wood, high absorption for kitchen spill clean up, and streak-free gentle cleaning of stainless steel appliances. The performance of these cloths is markedly more effective than single use paper towels and cotton rags, and the cloths are reusable.
Businesses should consider the costs that come with purchasing disposable cleaning cloths paired with the positive environmental impact that could come from the use of a premium cloth microfiber cleaning cloth. Microfiber cloths are made for cleaning purposes. A high-quality cloth is made that can withstand repeated washes and can be reused hundreds of times. Using a premium microfiber cloth made by a manufacturer will reduce costs on disposable cleaning products and significantly reduce waste. All this wil benefit a distributor and a brand. A unique cloth can be made by Microfiber’s ODM and OEM program. Microfiber works with clients to design proprietary products to best suit their needs. These needs can be for a specific cloth designed for an automotive detailing chemical or a wipe that is made in specific dimensions for a janitorial cart. Custom variations of everything from the fiber blend to the packaging can be made. More information can be provided on the custom project in the form of technical specifications, material samples, and pricing. The Microfiber Cloth Team is best suits to provide all this information and pricing through a direct consultation.
