Microfiber cleaning cloths are more economical and safer for the environment because they clean with mechanical action not chemicals.
Microfiber filaments are much smaller than cotton or paper filaments, with hooks on the edges that get into the pores of the surface to be cleaned. While you are wiping down your counters, microfiber filaments scoop out the grime in the pores of a surface; paper and cotton rags depend on soaps and cleansers to float the gunk to the top of the surface and then wipe it off.
Usually, when using microfiber cleaning cloths, no cleaning chemicals are needed and when it is a tough cleaning job, only 20% of the cleaning solution is needed, according to a long-term study done by UC Davis in its hospital in California.
Further, microfiber is antimicrobial without chemicals because the microfiber filaments are small enough to pick up and hold bacteria until the cloths are washed. Cotton and paper filaments are larger and just push the bacteria around, relying on chemical disinfectants to kill the bacteria.
So now you know how microfiber can save you money and save the earth by reducing your need for chemicals!
