Microfiber can be found anywhere: cleaning cloths, athletic wear, and even bed sheets are filled with it! But why is microfiber so popular? Simply put, microfiber is made up of superfine synthetic yarns split into millions of microscopic fibers up to 100 times finer than human hair, which makes them great at gathering dirt, dust, and other particles from surfaces while holding seven times their weight in water to maintain cleanliness without chemical detergents or harsh cleaners being necessary.
Microfibers combined with cleaning solutions allow microfibers to quickly and effectively lift and trap dirt, grime, dust, and other unwanted substances from hard-to-reach spots like crevices and furniture edges. They're also excellent at removing waxes and polishes from cars, boats, and outdoor equipment - not to mention streak-free windows without leaving scratches behind! Additionally, they help reduce bacteria by killing up to 99 percent.
To maximize the performance of microfiber towels, it's best to wash them with cold water and a small amount of mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as these can clog the space between microfibers, preventing them from working effectively.
After washing, air-drying microfiber towels are ideal to ensure their softness is maintained while also protecting them from moisture or dirt seeping into their fibers. If machine drying is desired instead, make sure it takes place separately from fabrics that shed lint or hair, and make sure that its lint filter has been cleared before placing towels inside it.
Microfiber towels can help those with long or wavy locks reduce frizz and promote smoothness by being very gentle against their locks, unlike terry cloth towels that strip moisture out and encourage frizz-inducing buildup. Microfibers also act as highly absorbent towels which helps remove extra water that could contribute to frizz-causing buildup in their fibers - another benefit!
Microfiber towels can be used on numerous surfaces in your home, from baseboards to windows. A dry microfiber towel can quickly eliminate dirt and dust build-up while damp microfiber towels can take care of smudges or marks on glass windows or surfaces. Also, keep some microfiber towels on hand for quick surface cleanups like spilled beverages on stainless steel appliances or countertops - when washed properly they will last years!
